The Archdeacon of Oakham is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Anglican Diocese of Peterborough.[1] As such, they are responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy[2] within its six rural deaneries: Corby, Higham, Kettering, Oundle, Peterborough and Rutland.[3]
The archdeaconry was created by splitting the Archdeaconry of Northampton on 29 June 1875; the archdeaconry has remained part of Peterborough diocese since its creation.[4]
