Vicar

We say, "vicar of Sturminster Newton from 1862 to 1874". Does "vicar" imply an official role in the Church of England, Vicar (Anglicanism)? --P64 (talk) 00:15, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

My understanding (though I'd be happy to be corrected) is that yes it does. A vicar is the priest in charge of a parish church - hence those boards near the entryway, upon which are painted a list of names stretching back to Domesday. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 16:41, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
