  The Revd Canon Anna Macham

Anna Macham is Canon Precentor of Salisbury Cathedral, where she is responsible for the Cathedral’s Liturgy and Music, a post she has held since 2019. Previously she was parish priest of St Philip’s Camberwell, an inner-city parish off the Old Kent Road in South East London. Before that she was Succentor at Southwark Cathedral and a Chaplain to the Guy’s Campus (Medical, Dental and Biomedical Science students) of King’s College London.

She studied English at Oxford University, where developed an interest in women’s writing, and where she also held a Choral Scholarship in her College Chapel. As part of her training for ministry, she completed an MPhil in Christian Doctrine, writing a thesis on the theology of Henri de Lubac and the relationship between the Eucharist and the Church in the writings of several subsequent twentieth century theologians. During this time, she worked as a Research Assistant to Jeremy Begbie on his Theology and the Arts programme, which involved researching the music and theology of selected twentieth century choral composers, such as Stravinsky, Britten, James Macmillan and Arvo Pärt.
