Archdeacon of Chesterfield

The Archdeacon of Chesterfield is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Derby. Until 1927 the archdeaconry of Chesterfield was in the diocese of Southwell.

The Archdeacon is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy [1] within the seven area deaneries: Alfreton, Bakewell & Eyam, Bolsover & Staveley, Buxton, Chesterfield, Glossop and Wirksworth

The post was created in the Diocese of Southwell and from the Archdeaconry of Derby, by Order in Council on 18 October 1910;[2] it became part of Derby diocese upon the new diocese's creation on 7 July 1927[3] and is currently held by Carol Coslett.
