The Diocese of Coventry said the news would come as a 'shock' after the Reverend Stephen Burch's retirement at the end of last year.
Tributes have been paid to a husband and wife who were walking near a pier in North Wales when they were killed in a car crash. Police previously confirmed two pedestrians were among the three people killed in the collision involving a grey Audi A8. The Diocese of Coventry have named the pedestrians as the Reverend Stephen Burch and his wife Kathy. In a statement, the diocese said the news would come as a 'shock' as Rev Burch had only retired at the end of last year.
North Wales Police previously confirmed the two pedestrians were in their 60s and not local to the area. The driver of the vehicle, a local man in his 80s also died at the scene. Officers responded in the town of Beaumaris shortly after 2.45pm on Wednesday 28 August. The three people died at the scene on Alma Street, close to Beaumaris Pier, where members of the public and the emergency services all rushed to help.
