No move for Bishop says female Dean

Jane Hedges became Dean in June Credit: Norwich Cathedral

The Dean of Norwich has revealed she won't be putting her name forward to become one of the first women Bishops in the Church of England - despite being the bookies' favourite.

The Very Reverend Jane Hedges was commenting after the General Synod formally adopted legislation, paving the way for the first female bishops to be ordained next year.

The Dean says she's incredibly happy in her current post.
