From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Archdeacon of Westmorland and Furness is a senior
ecclesiastical officer within the
Diocese of Carlisle .
[1] As such he or she is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy
[2] within its four
rural deaneries :
Barrow ,
Windermere ,
Kendal and
Furness .
[3]
The archdeaconry of Westmorland was erected by
Order-in-Council of 10 August 1847 from the
Archdeaconry of Richmond ,
[4] but that Order did not come into effect until
Hugh Percy (Bishop of Carlisle) died on 5 February 1856 (because he did not consent to the changes to his diocese). The Archdeaconry of Furness was erected by further Order-in-Council in 1884; they were subsequently merged to form the current archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness. The incumbent is
Vernon Ross .
