Archdeacon of Bournemouth

The Archdeacon of Bournemouth is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Winchester. As Archdeacon, he or she is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy within the archdeaconry, which consists of six deaneries in the southern part of the diocese: Bournemouth, Christchurch, Eastleigh, Lyndhurst, Romsey and Southampton.^[1] Before 2000, the title was Archdeacon of Winchester.

History

A similar area of the diocese was previously supervised by the ancient Archdeacons of Winchester, while the north (now the new Winchester archdeaconry) was previously overseen by the Archdeacon of Basingstoke.
