History
The first recorded archdeacons in Salisbury diocese occur soon after the Norman Conquest and there were apparently four archdeacons from the outset. However, no territorial titles are recorded until after. The archdeacons at that time were the Archdeacons of Dorset, Berkshire, Sarum and Wiltshire.The position was redefined in 1843, having been previously generally known as the Archdeaconry of Salisbury; the role is now generally called Archdeacon of Sarum, but both names have been used commonly throughout history.
