We finally have the identity of the mysterious ‘Grim Reaper’ seen briefly lurking in the background during King Charles’ coronation.
They revealed that the person people saw walking in the background was only a verger, a member of the Abbey’s community who does not belong to the clergy but assists with religious services.
A verger is sometimes seen carrying a rod before a bishop or dean as a symbol of office, which explains its scythe-like instrument. In a recent job vacancy advert for a verger at Ripon Cathedral, the clergy said they were looking for someone to be ‘involved in the presentation and maintenance of the Cathedral’.
Main duties and responsibilities included ‘ensuring effective communication’, ‘assisting with the effective management of all events, liturgical and secular in the Cathedral, ‘with the proper care, preparation and maintenance of all items used in services’, as well as many more tasks.
