SOUTHWARK CATHEDRAL'S AWARD-WINNING GIRL CHORISTERS

16 October 2002

Six south London girls were named as the first Head Choristers and 'Corner Girls' of Southwark Cathedral Girls' Choir on Sunday 13 October.

Naomi Costigan from New Cross and Lavinya Royes who lives in SE1 are the new Launderer Chanters, and also Head Choristers. They will now wear badges on blue ribbons.

The Lithgow Chanters, known as Cantoris corner girls, who will have purple ribbons, are Vienna Francis-Mullins and Jessica Bevan, both from SE22.

The Bridge Chanters, known as Decani corner girls, with red ribbons, are Jessica Dace from New Cross and Jaunita Morton from Kennington.

These badges have been endowed by the Worshipful Company of Launderers, the Lithgow family and the Millennium Bridge Trustees. The Girls Choir was formed as part of the Cathedral's Millennium celebrations.

In addition, four girls who have completed their probationary period were admitted as Choristers, and received their surplice.

Ends.
