The post of Archdeacon of Horsham was created in 1975. The archdeaconry of Horsham is in the Diocese of Chichester which almost exactly covers the counties of East and West Sussex and the City of Brighton and Hove, stretching for nearly a hundred miles (160 km) along the south coast of England.[1]
The Diocese originally had two archdeaconries created in the 12th century, namely that of Chichester and also of Lewes; a third archdeaconry was created in 1912 at Hastings.[2][3]
The archdeaconries were then reorganised under Bishop Kemp in 1975 with the Archdeaconry of Lewes being merged with that of Hastings and a new archdeaconry at Horsham being created.[1][4] So now the Bishop of Chichester is assisted by the suffragan bishops of Horsham and Lewes and there is one archdeacon for Chichester, one for Horsham and one for the merged Lewes and Hastings archdeaconry.[1]
There follows a list of Archdeacons of Horsham.
