It serves almost the whole of the county of Lancashire, covering an area of 878 square miles, with a population of 1.3 million. It is divided into 14 Deaneries and two Archdeaconries (Blackburn and Lancaster).

We have Parishes of all traditions and are strongly committed to the principle of mutual flourishing. The Bishop of Blackburn seeks to appoint a priest of deep faith and gospel ambition to succeed the Venerable Michael Everitt as Archdeacon of Lancaster, to join the Bishop’s Leadership Team. In making the appointment, the Bishop will be mindful of the needs of the Archdeaconry & Diocese but will also take into account the balance of the senior staff team.
