The diocese began life as the Archdeaconry of Derby and was originally part of the Diocese of Lichfield.
It was moved to form part of the Diocese of Southwell, when that diocese was created in 1884.
In 1927 the Archdeaconries of Derby and Chesterfield became the new Diocese of Derby, as a response to population growth.
All Saints Derby was hallowed as the Cathedral on the 28th October 1927 and the next day the first Bishop of Derby, Edmund Pearce, was installed.
Although only founded as a separate diocese in 1927, the county has a long and rich Christian history.
