Vivienne Faull

The Very Rev Vivienne Frances Faull (born 20 May 1955) is an eminent Anglican priest.

Faull was educated at The Queen's School, Chester and St Hilda's College, Oxford.[1] Ordained deaconess in 1982 and priest in 1994,[2] she served first at St Matthew and St James, Mossley Hill and then as Chaplain at Clare College, Cambridge. From 1990 to 2000, she was on the staff at Gloucester Cathedral [3] before moving to Leicester. On 13 May 2000,[4] she was installed as Provost of Leicester[5] – the first female provost in the Church of England. Since later that year, when her job title (but not the essential nature of the role) changed, she has been the Dean of Leicester - with that change of title, she became the first female dean in the Church of England.
