Thomas Morton, Archdeacon of Ely

Notes

Archdeacon of Cambridge : The Archdeacon of Cambridge is a senior ecclesiastical officer in the Diocese of Ely. The archdeacon is responsible for some clergy discipline and pastoral care in the Archdeaconry of Cambridge. An archdeacon, generally an ordained priest, acted as the bishop's representative with the duty of supervising parish priests and churches, for example ensuring they had proper training in how to celebrate Mass and use the proper equipment.

The archdeaconry has existed, as the Archdeaconry of Ely, since (at the latest) the early 12th century (before the creation of Ely diocese in 1109, the archdeaconry was in Lincoln diocese), but was renamed to Cambridge in July 2006.
