The Archdeacon of York (or of the
West Riding ) is a senior clergy position in an
archdeaconry subdivision of the
Church of England
Diocese of York in the
Province of York . It is named for the City of York and consists of the seven rural deaneries of

Selby ,
Southern Ryedale ,
South Wold and
York .
History
Archdeacons occurred in the Diocese of York before 1093; before 1128, there were five serving simultaneously – probably each in their own area, but none occurs with a territorial title before 1133. The title Archdeacon of York is first recorded before 1153 with Robert Butevilain, Archdeacon of York. Of the five archdeaconries, York is one of three which has never split from York diocese.
The current archdeacon is Samantha Rushton; the suffragan
Bishop of Selby exercises episcopal oversight over the archdeaconry.
