Deaneries

A Deanery is a grouping of parishes, headed by Rural Deans (the priest in charge of the Deanery) and Lay Chairs (the non-ordained equivalent). There are 19 deaneries in the diocese of Salisbury. Deanery representatives meet regularly to discuss parish business. Main contacts, latest news and documents are listed below.
