Archdeacon of Chichester

The post of Archdeacon of Chichester was created in the 12th century, although the Diocese of Sussex was founded by St Wilfrid, the exiled Bishop of York, in AD 681. The original location of the see was in Selsey. The see was moved to Chichester, in about 1075, by decree of the Synod of London.

It was announced in May 2025 by the diocese, that Tom Carpenter will be the next Archdeacon of Chichester after the departure of Luke Irvine-Capel's who was consecrated as Bishop of Richborough in February 2025.
