TheArchdeacon of St Albans is an ecclesiastical post in theChurch of England Diocese of St Albans in theProvince of Canterbury .
Before theDissolution of the Monasteries and Henrican reforms of the 16th century, there were Archdeacons of St Albans from within theAbbey . Registers list archdeacons starting in 1420, but this old "abbey archdeaconry" is supposed to have been created in the reign ofHenry III (13th century).
The "diocesan archdeaconry" was newly constituted fromSt Albans Abbey 's parishes inHertfordshire andBedfordshire in 1550;[ 1] Diocese of London until 1845, when it and was transferred to thediocese of Rochester , at which point its boundaries were made to coincide with those ofHertfordshire . Thirty years later, the archdeaconries ofEssex , ofColchester , and of St Albans were taken from the Rochester diocese to create theDiocese of St Albans in 1878.[ 2] Diocese of Chelmsford in 1914, the St Albans diocese received the ancient countyarchdeaconry of Bedford from theDiocese of Ely ; there has once again been a third archdeaconry since the split on 1 January 1997 of theHertford archdeaconry from the Archdeaconry of St Albans.
List of archdeacons [ edit ] From the 13th century, there was an archdeaconry within the Abbey's jurisdiction. These "abbey archdeacons" were monks from the abbey monastery: On 1 April 1550,letters patent annexed the abbey's parishes to theDiocese of London . Not long after, the diocesan archdeaconry was erected and East (re-)appointed: The archdeaconry, by this point covering all Hertfordshire, was transferred to Rochester diocese by Order in Council on 8 August 1845
