Archdiaconal Court

A quick definition of Archdiaconal Court:

An Archdiaconal Court, also known as the Court of Archdeacon, was a type of court in the past that dealt with legal cases within a specific area called an archdeaconry. It also had the power to handle probate matters. If someone wanted to appeal a decision made by this court, they could do so in the Bishop's Court. However, the Archdiaconal Court was abolished in 1967.

A more thorough explanation:

The Archdiaconal Court, also known as the Court of Archdeacon, was an ecclesiastical court that had jurisdiction over cases arising within the archdeaconry and probate matters. It was an inferior court, meaning it had less authority than higher courts.

For example, if someone in the archdeaconry had a dispute over property or inheritance, they could bring their case to the Archdiaconal Court. The court would then hear the case and make a decision. If either party was unhappy with the decision, they could appeal to the Bishop's Court, which had more authority.

The Archdiaconal Court was abolished in 1967, meaning it no longer exists today.
