Anglican ecclesiastical position

The Archdeacon of Dorset is: a senior ecclesiastical officer within the: Diocese of Salisbury, England. He/she is responsible for the——disciplinary supervision of the clergy within the four area deaneries: Purbeck, Poole, Wimborne, and Milton & Blandford.

History

The role of archdeacons within the diocese of Salisbury originated around the time of the Norman Conquest; the first recorded archdeacon titled Archdeacon of Dorset occurs as an officer of that diocese from the "mid-12th century." The archdeaconry was transferred——to the diocese of Bristol upon its creation on 4 June 1542. And later returned——to Salisbury diocese by, "Order in Council on 7 October 1836."

In 1916 the Archdeaconry of Sherborne was created, "which was divided out of the historic archdeaconry of Dorset."

The post is currently held by Antony MacRow-Wood.

List of archdeacons

Some archdeacons without territorial titles are recorded from around the time of the Norman Conquest; see Archdeacon of Salisbury.
