The succentor ("under-singer"[1]) is the assistant to the precentor, typically in an ancient cathedral foundation, helping with the preparation and conduct of the liturgy including psalms, preces and responses.
[4] Westminster Abbey also retains the tradition; Brecon Cathedral previously had only a succentor, and no precentor, but this changed in 2022 with the appointment of The Rev'd Canon Steven Griffith to the post of precentor.
[5][6] The only succentor in Australia is at St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne.
[8][9] Radley College appears to be unique in having a lay succentor, who is the college organist and assistant to the lay precentor, the director of music.
