History

The first recorded archdeacons in Hereford diocese occur soon after the Norman Conquest – there were apparently two archdeacons from the outset. However, no territorial titles are recorded until after. The archdeacons at that time were the Archdeacons of Hereford and of Shropshire ; the latter was renamed Archdeacon of Ludlow in 1876.
