The Bishop is assisted in these responsibilities by two Archdeacons
who each supervise half of the Diocese. The two halves are therefore
called Archdeaconries:
the Northern, or Chesterfield Archdeaconry, and;
the Southern, or Derby Archdeaconry

what they are responsible for >>
The Diocese is then split further into 16 Deaneries,
or smaller regions, each with a Rural Dean who can assist the Archdeacon
in his role. They have special responsibilities in their region
and are usually also parish priests.
Finally, each deanery is split into parishes.
Each parish has a priest-in-charge or a vicar, although some parishes
are joined with others under one priest and these are called united
benefices.

The Dean of Derby also plays an important
role in this Diocese.
