David Tudor's tenure as area dean was twice renewed during his time as Bishop of Chelmsford .

In 2015 , under Mr Cottrell , Tudor was also made honorary canon of the Cathedral .

Archbishop's office insisted it happened because of a change in Church policy.

But a social media post suggests it was seen as a reward.
