Who is Sarah Mullally, the first ever female Archbishop of Canterbury?

Right Reverend Dame Sarah Mullally has become the first ever female Archbishop of Canterbury, some 1,400 years after the role was created.

The Bishop of London will lead the Church of England (CoE), replacing Justin Welby nearly a year after he resigned following a damning review into the institution's handling of a sexual abuse scandal.

Here's what we know about the new archbishop.

When did she become the Bishop of London?

Dame Sarah, 63, became London's bishop in December 2017, placing her in the Church's third most senior position behind the Archbishops of Canterbury and York.

She used her first day in the role to call for a more diverse line-up of leaders across Britain's churches.
