The
Archdeacons in the
Diocese of Southwark are senior clergy in the
Church of England in
South London and
Surrey . They currently include: the archdeacons of
Southwark , of
Reigate (formerly of
Kingston-on-Thames ) and of
Lewisham &
Greenwich (formerly of Lewisham), the
Archdeacon of Croydon and the archdeacons of
Wandsworth and of

History
The Diocese of Southwark was created on 1 May 1905 from two
Diocese of Rochester archdeaconries: the archdeaconry of Southwark and the archdeaconry of Kingston-on-Thames.
[1] Parts of Surrey (from the dioceses
of Winchester and
of London ) had first been transferred to
Rochester diocese on 1 August 1877,
[2] and were organised into the Southwark archdeaconry on 3 May 1878.
[3] In 1864, the Bishop of Winchester had split the
rural deanery of Southwark into three: Lambeth, Southwark, and Streatham.
[4] The Kingston archdeaconry was then created by Order in Council soon after, on 22 August 1879, by splitting the archdeaconry of Southwark:
[5] the new Kingston archdeaconry consisted of the rural deaneries of Barnes, Beddington, Godstone, Kingston, Reigate, and Streatham; and the continuing Southwark one those of Battersea, Camberwell, Clapham, Kennington, Lambeth, Newington, and Southwark.
[6] Lewisham rural deanery was erected, and other deanery boundaries altered, in early 1886.
[7]
Not long after the erection of the Diocese of Southwark, the new archdeaconry of Lewisham was created, on 6 March 1906, from part of the Southwark archdeaconry (Camberwell and Dulwich deaneries) and part of the diocese not then in an archdeaconry (Greenwich, Lewisham, and Woolwich deaneries;
[8] which had previously been in the
Archdeaconry of Rochester ).
[9]
The archdeaconry of Wandsworth was created in 1973, the
Croydon archdeaconry (er. 1930) was moved from the
Diocese of Canterbury on 1 January 1985.
[10] In 1986, the archdeaconry of Reigate was created from a renaming and reorganisation of the previous archdeaconry of Kingston-on-Thames
[5] and the archdeaconry of Lambeth was created from Southwark archdeaconry. Lewisham archdeaconry was renamed the Archdeaconry of Lewisham & Greenwich in 2008.
Current composition
As of January 2021
[update] , the six archdeaconries of the Diocese of Southwark comprise the following 24 deaneries:
[11]
Archdeaconry of Southwark: Deaneries of Bermondsey, of Camberwell, of Dulwich, and of Southwark & Newington
Archdeaconry of Reigate: Deaneries of Tandridge, of Reigate, and of Sutton
Archdeaconry of Lewisham & Greenwich: Deaneries of Charlton, of Deptford, of East Lewisham, of Eltham & Mottingham, of Plumstead, and of West Lewisham
Archdeaconry of Croydon: Deaneries of Croydon Addington, of Croydon Central, of Croydon North, and of Croydon South
Archdeaconry of Wandsworth: Deaneries of Battersea, of Kingston, of Richmond & Barnes, of Tooting, and of Wandsworth
Archdeaconry of Lambeth: Deaneries of Lambeth North, of Lambeth South, and of Merton
