Female Chaplain 20 March 2007
Deep in the Somerset countryside, nestling in the foothills of the Mendips lies Wells - the smallest city in England. Recently thrust into the limelight as the back drop for the box office hit Hot Fuzz, it's better known for the beautiful medieval cathedral that dominates its sky-line.

Now Wells Cathedral School is putting the city under the spotlight again by employing the first female chaplain at the school in its 1100 year history.

This may be a first for the school, but the Reverend Juliette Hulme is something of a trail blazer. She was among the first group of women to be ordained in 1995, she was the British Army's first female chaplain - and was stationed in Iraq for six months. And she was one of the oldest recruits on the officer training course at Sandhurst.

Jo Dwyer met her at the cathedral to find out more about her new job.
