THE Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu visited chef Andrew Pern in the kitchen of the Star Inn at Harome on Saturday, where the pair cooked a pheasant dish together.
The afternoon’s cookery was part of the Archbishop’s mission taking place in the deanery of Northern Ryedale from Friday to Sunday.
The mission is the first in a series which will see the Archbishop go ‘on the road’ to join all 21 deaneries in the Diocese of York throughout 2017 and 2018 for weekends of celebration, witness and blessing, telling others of the love of God.
His tour began with visits to four schools on Friday, including Ryedale, Welburn Hall, Lady Lumley’s and Thornton Dale. At Welburn Hall, the Archbishop attended an assembly put on by the pupils, which included performances and songs.
Richard Bramley, headteacher at Lady Lumley’s, said: “The students asked some interesting questions, including one querying the Archbishop’s opinions of Donald Trump, a question which drew a very forthright answer. It was a lovely occasion and a privilege to play host to such a charming person.”
The mission then spent Saturday visiting Wykeham, Thorton-le-Dale, Pickering, Middleton, Lastingham and Kirkbymoorside, with evensong in Beadlam.
