A senior Anglican clergyman suspected of serial child abuse was “very calculating”, a former Church of England child protection officer said yesterday.

The Rev Ray Morris said he interviewed the Very Rev Robert Waddington, former Dean of Manchester Cathedral and once the head of education for the Church, in 2004 about allegations that he abused schoolboys when a headmaster in Australia. This means the Church investigated Waddington, who died at 79 in 2007, three times without referring him to the police.
