Rural Deaneries in the Archdeaconry of Nottingham up to 1842

Until spring 1842 there were four deaneries in the Archdeaconry of Nottingham:

  • Bingham
  • Newark
  • Nottingham
  • Retford

A fifth deanery of Southwell was created in 1842.  The Archdeaconry was enlarged by taking in parishes from the Peculiar of Southwell, the Peculiar of the Dean and Chapter of York, and other Nottinghamshire parishes not previously part of the Archdeaconry. The deaneries of the Archdeaconry were re-ordered accordingly, and the new deanery took in the parishes of the former Peculiar and some neighbouring places.

Presentment bills were sent to the Archdeaconry court by the churchwardens of parishes and most chapelries. Occasionally, the parishes sent presentment bills on behalf of themselves and their chapelries. These chapelries are noted in brackets. Researchers are advised to consult documents from both the parish and the chapelries of any place in which they are interested.
