The post was historically within the
Diocese of Lichfield beginning in the 12th century – around the time when archdeacon first started to occur in England. From 24 January 1837, the archdeaconry was in the
Diocese of Worcester,[1] and since 6 September 1918 it has been in the
Diocese of Coventry.[2] From 2009, the archdeacon of Coventry also had statutory oversight over the
Archdeaconry of Warwick, delegated from the
Archdeacon Missioner, in preparation for the merging of the two archdeaconries.[3] This arrangement may or may not still be legally in effect following the end of use of the terms "of Warwick/of Coventry"[4] (Rodham and Green remained, legally, collated to the Archdeaconries of Warwick and of Coventry).[5]

18 March 2018 – January 2023 (res.):
