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, since 2013, is Sarah Bullock, the first woman to hold the position;[1] the suffragan Bishop of Selby exercises episcopal oversight over the archdeaconry.
