10 December 1998 The Dean The Very Rev Wesley Carr, 57, has a reputation for being a remote, insensitive man who deals high-handededly with his staff. Since arriving at Westminster Abbey in February 1997, he has caused many upsets - just as he did during his previous 10-year tenure as Dean of Bristol Cathedral. A former senior member of staff at Bristol, who served at the cathedral for 22 years, says the six years under Dr Carr were "the unhappiest years of my career". Before that, Dr Carr was a canon at Chelmsford Cathedral, during which time the then Bishop of Chelmsford, the Right Rev John Trillo, said of him: "Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?" Dr Carr is programme adviser to the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London. He is married to Natalie, and has one daughter. He is an academic at heart, with degrees from Oxford and Cambridge, and has written a number of books. The Bishop of Bristol, the Right Rev Barry Rogerson, is among the few who have something positive to say about Dr Carr. He has a "desire for the truth and integrity" and an ability to "see things clearly", in his view.
