Diocesan Structure
The diocese is divided into two archdeaconries, each of which is further divided into deaneries (groups of parishes). The Archdeaconry of Bristol, created in 1836, is divided into the deaneries of Bristol City; Bristol South; and Bristol West. The Archdeaconry of Malmesbury is divided into the deaneries of Chippenham; Kingswood and South Gloucestershire; North Wiltshire; and Swindon.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
