TheArchdeacon of Bangor is the priest in charge of the archdeaconry of Bangor, an administrative division of the Church in WalesDiocese of Bangor . In 1844, the Archdeaconry of Bangor was combined with theArchdeaconry of Anglesey to form the Archdeaconry of Bangor and Anglesey. The archdeaconry comprises the seven deaneries of Archlechwedd, Arfon, Llifon/Talybolion, Malltraeth, Ogwen, Tyndaethwy and Twrcelyn.[ 1]
In 2018, the Archdeaconry was separated in diocesan boundary changes, with half becoming the new Archdeaconry of Anglesey, thus recreating the pre-1844 structure.
