Jeremy Pemberton is an Anglican clergyman.
In April 2014 he was married to his partner Laurence Cunnington. He then had his licence to officiate withdrawn by Richard Inwood, acting Bishop of Southwell and Nottinghamshire, and as a result a job offer for him to be chaplain for Sherwood Forest hospitals NHS trust was withdrawn.[1] He took the Church of England to an employment tribunal, but lost his case.[2]
