The Archdeacon of Sarum is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Salisbury, England.
He or she is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy[1] within the five area deaneries of the Sarum archdeaconry, which cover the geographical areas of Alderbury, Chalke (west of Salisbury), Salisbury, Heytesbury and Stonehenge (north of Salisbury).
[2] The post is currently held by the Ven Alan Jeans.
The position was redefined in 1843, having been previously generally known as the Archdeaconry of Salisbury; the role is now generally called Archdeacon of Sarum, but both names have been used commonly throughout history.
[4] The parishes of Charlton, Wilsford and North Newnton were transferred from Sarum to the archdeaconry of Wilts in 1955.
