History

[edit]

The two original archdeaconries of Chichester diocese,Chichesterand Lewes, were created in the 12th century – at around the time when archdeacons were first appointed across England. The third archdeaconry, Hastings, was created (from that of Lewes) on 28 June 1912.[2][3]The archdeaconries were then reorganised underEric Kemp(Bishop of Chichester)[4]on 28 June 1975:[5]the Hastings archdeaconry was dissolved and her territory returned to Lewes archdeaconry, which was renamed "Lewes & Hastings"; and a new archdeaconry ofHorshamwas created.[1][4]

On 12 May 2014, it was announced that the diocese is to take forward proposals to create a fourth archdeaconry (presently referred to as Brighton.)[6]Since Lewes itself would be within the new archdeaconry, Lewes & Hastings archdeaconry would become simply Hastings archdeaconry.[7]On 8 August 2014, theChurch Timesreported that the archdeaconry had been renamed.[8]
