Archdeacon of Bombay

The Archdeacon of Bombay was a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Anglican Diocese of Bombay,[1] and dates back to the early 19th Century.[2] As such he was responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy [3] within his part of the diocese. It is now the Church of North India Diocese of Bombay.[4]

In 1866, C. H. Leigh Lye had held this post since 1865, and was bishop's commissary.[5]
