The titles "Archdeacon of Durham" and "Archdeacon of Northumberland" are not recorded until later in the century, although it is possible to discern which of the two lines became which post. Here are listed the sole archdeacons of Durham diocese, then those of the senior of two unnamed lines, then all those called Archdeacon of Durham. The archdeaconry has been split twice: once on 23 May 1882, to crea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
