Archdeacon of Birmingham

Church of England ecclesiastical office

Summary

Church of England ecclesiastical office

The Archdeacon of Birmingham is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Birmingham.

The archdeaconry was created within the Diocese of Worcester by Order-in-Council on 12 August 1892 (substantially from the Archdeaconry of Coventry but also from a small part of the Worcester archdeaconry) but became part of the new Diocese of Birmingham upon its creation by Order-in-Council on 13 January 1905.

The Archdeacon is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy within the archdeaconry's six deaneries: Edgbaston; Handsworth and Central; Kings Norton; Moseley; Shirley; and Warley.

The current archdeacon, since 2019, is Jenny Tomlinson.
