Archdeacons' Parish Visitation & Inspection

According to Canon law the Archdeacon is to make a Parish Visitation and Inspection once every three years. In this diocese the Archdeacon or his representative will visit every six years and the area dean will inspect in the intervening third year. The Archdeacon is to inspect the church building externally and internally in the light of the quinquennial inspection report and then will ask questions of the church wardens with regard to various regulations, insurance, health & safety, fire risks etc. The Archdeacons role is to help 'watch your back'
