Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey

(Redirected from Archdeaconry of Stow) Lists of Anglicans

The Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey is a senior ecclesiastical officer in the Church of England Diocese of Lincoln.

History

The Archdeaconry of Stow is an ancient division of Lincoln diocese; the first archdeacons are recorded from around 1092 (the time around which archdeacons were first appointed across the English church) and were among eight archdeacons in the exceptionally large diocese. The Archdeaconry of Lindsey was created on 22 December 1933 from the Stow archdeaconry and merged back into the Archdeaconry of Stow in 1994. The merged archdeaconry was named "the Archdeaconry of Stow and Lindsey".
