The '''Diocese of Salisbury''' is a [[Church of England]] [[list of dioceses in the Church of England|diocese]] in the south of England, within the ecclesiastical [[Province of Canterbury]]. The diocese covers the historic county of [[Dorset]] (which excludes the deaneries of [[Bournemouth]] and [[Christchurch, Dorset|Christchurch]], which fall within the [[Diocese of Winchester]] as they were historically in Hampshire), most of [[Wiltshire]] (excepting an area in the north and [[Swindon]]), and the [[Channel Islands]] of [[Jersey]] and [[Bailiwick of Guernsey|Guernsey]]. The diocese is led by [[Stephen Lake]], [[Bishop of Salisbury]], and by the diocesan [[synod]]. The bishop's seat is at [[Salisbury Cathedral]].

==History==
{{hatnote|See also: [[Old Sarum#History|Old Sarum]] and [[Old Sarum Cathedral]], [[Salisbury#History|Salisbury]], and [[Salisbury Cathedral]].}}

===Catholic===
The [[Diocese of Sherborne]] (founded {{nowrap|{{circa|lk=no|AD}} 705}}) was the origin of the present diocese; [[Aldhelm|St Aldhelm]] was its first [[Bishop of Sherborne]]. The [[Diocese of Ramsbury]] was created from the northwestern territory of the [[Bishop of Winchester]] in 909.<ref name=dos/>

[[Herman (bishop of Salisbury)|Herman]] of [[Wilton, Wiltshire|Wilton]] was appointed [[bishop of Ramsbury]], covering Wiltshire and Berkshire, by [[Edward the Confessor]] in 1045. In or after 1059 he was also appointed [[bishop of Sherborne|Sherborne]], covering Dorset, uniting the two dioceses. In 1075 he obtained approval to move the see to [[Old Sarum]].<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |first=Julia|last =Barrow | publisher = Oxford University Press | encyclopedia= Oxford Dictionary of National Biography | title=Hermann (d. 1078) | year = 2004 | url = http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-13084| access-date=   28 February 2019|doi= 10.1093/ref:odnb/13084  |isbn =978-0-19-861412-8 | url-access=subscription }} {{ODNBsub}}</ref> Disputes between the bishops [[Herbert Poore|Herbert]] and [[Richard Poore]] and the [[High Sheriff of Wiltshire|sheriffs of Wiltshire]] led to the removal of the see in the 1220s to a new site. This was chartered as the [[list of cities in the United Kingdom|city]] of New Sarum by {{nowrap|[[list of English kings|King]] [[Henry III of England|Henry III]]}} in 1227,<ref name=easty>Easton, James.

The [[archdeacon]]ry around Salisbury, however, retains the name of Sarum.

===Anglican===
Reforms within the [[Church of England]] led to the annexation of [[Dorset]] from the abolished [[diocese of Bristol]] in 1836; [[Berkshire]], however, was removed the same year and given to [[diocese of Oxford|Oxford]].

In 1925 and 1974, new [[suffragan bishop]]s were appointed to assist the Bishop of Salisbury; the new offices were titled the bishops of [[bishop of Sherborne|Sherborne]] and [[bishop of Ramsbury|Ramsbury]], respectively.<ref name=dos>The Diocese of Salisbury.

The Bishop of Ramsbury had oversight of the diocese's parishes in Wiltshire, while the Bishop of Sherborne had oversight of the diocese's parishes in Dorset. This scheme was replaced to reflect the increased working across the whole diocese by all three bishops; the two suffragans may now legally function anywhere in the diocese, and the Bishop of Salisbury may delegate any of his functions to them.

The diocese is also divided into four [[archdeacon]]ries, two for each county. These are further subdivided into [[dean (religion)|deaneries]] and [[parish]]es. Changes were made to the allocation of parishes to deaneries in 1951.<ref>{{London Gazette

In 2022, the deaneries of [[Deanery of Guernsey|Guernsey]] and [[Dean of Jersey|Jersey]] were transferred to the diocese from [[Diocese of Winchester|Winchester]], in accordance with the [[Channel Islands Measure 2020]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=About |url=https://www.churchofengland.org.gg/about |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230811145602/https://www.churchofengland.org.gg/about |archive-date=11 August 2023 |access-date=2023-09-24 |website=Deanery of Guernsey |language=en}}</ref>

==Bishops==
{{main|Bishop of Salisbury}}
The diocesan Bishop of Salisbury is assisted across the diocese by two suffragans – the [[Bishop of Sherborne]] and the [[Bishop of Ramsbury]]. The [[provincial episcopal visitor]] (since February 2023), for traditional [[Anglo-Catholicism|Anglo-Catholic]] parishes in this diocese who have petitioned for alternative episcopal oversight<ref>{{cite web |last1=Beddowes |first1=Brian |title=Welcome |url=https://seeofoswestry.org.uk/ |website=The See of Oswestry |access-date=2 December 2022}}</ref> is [[Paul Thomas (bishop)|Paul Thomas]], [[Bishop of Oswestry|Bishop suffragan of Oswestry]].<ref>{{cite web |website=See of Oswestry |title=The Consecration of the first Bishop of Oswestry |date=2 February 2023 |url=https://seeofoswestry.org.uk/news/the-consecration-of-the-first-bishop-of-oswestry/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230202161505/https://seeofoswestry.org.uk/news/the-consecration-of-the-first-bishop-of-oswestry/ |archive-date=2 February 2023 |access-date=3 February 2023 }}</ref>

There are several former bishops licensed as honorary assistant bishops in the diocese:

}}</ref> there has been no announcement that either has been made an honorary assistant bishop.

==Sarum Use==
The '''[[Sarum Rite]]''' (more properly called '''Sarum Use''') was a variant of the [[Roman Rite]] widely used for the ordering of Christian public worship, including the [[Eucharist|Mass]] and the [[Liturgy of the Hours|Divine Office]]. It was established by [[Saint Osmund]], Bishop of Salisbury in the 11th century<ref name="newadvent1">{{cite web |date=1912-02-01 |title=Catholic Encyclopedia: Sarum Rite |url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13479a.htm |access-date=2010-04-02 |publisher=Newadvent.org}}</ref> and was originally the local form used in the [[Salisbury Cathedral|Cathedral]] and Diocese of Salisbury; it later became prevalent throughout southern England and came to be used throughout most of England, Wales, Ireland and later Scotland until the reign of Queen Mary.<ref>{{cite web |date=2009-09-01 |title=Photostats of Bologna, Biblioteca Universitaria 2565, Sarum Missal |url=http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/medieval/sarum-missal/sarum-missal.html |access-date=2010-04-02 |publisher=Bodley.ox.ac.uk}}</ref> Although abandoned after the 16th century, it was also a notable influence on the pattern of [[Anglican]] [[liturgy]] represented in the [[Book of Common Prayer]]. Occasional interest in and attempts at restoration of the liturgy by Anglicans and Catholics have not produced a general revival, however.

==Archdeaconries and deaneries==
There are twenty-one deaneries within the diocese.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Map of Salisbury Diocese|url=http://www.salisbury.anglican.org/whos-who/diocese/map-of-the-diocese-of-salisbury/image_small|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170706191816/http://www.salisbury.anglican.org/whos-who/diocese/map-of-the-diocese-of-salisbury/image_small|archive-date=6 July 2017|access-date=5 March 2017|website=The Diocese of Salisbury}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Deaneries |url=http://www.salisbury.anglican.org/parishes/pbd/deaneries |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170624012526/http://www.salisbury.anglican.org/parishes/pbd/deaneries |archive-date=2017-06-24 |access-date=5 March 2017 |website=The Diocese of Salisbury}}</ref><ref name=":0" />
