Dean of Llandaff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Deanery of Llandaff is a title given to the head of the chapter of Llandaff Cathedral, located in the suburbs of Cardiff, Wales. It is not an ancient office – the head of the chapter was historically the Archdeacon who appears in this role in the Liber Landavensis and in the Chapter Acts preserved in the Glamorgan Records Office – but the title of Dean was established in 1843. A century later the Deanery was merged with the Vicarage of Llandaff. The Chapter forfeited its legal rights on Disestablishment in 1920.
