Archdeacon of Sudbury

Church of England ecclesiastical office

The Archdeacon of Sudbury is a senior cleric in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.

The archdeacon is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy[1] in its five rural deaneries; Clare, Ixworth, Lavenham, Sudbury and Thingoe.[2]

## History

[edit]

This archdeaconry was separated from the original archdeaconry of Suffolk in 1127.[3] Sudbury which comprised eight deaneries in 1256 and in 1911 had eleven.[3] There were also three districts under peculiar jurisdiction of Canterbury and one under that of Rochester.[3]

Originally in the Diocese of Norwich, the Sudbury archdeaconry was transferred by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to the Diocese of Ely in 1837. It was then transferred a second time to the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich in 1914. The current archdeacon is David Jenkins.[4]
