The Archdeacon of Llandaff is a senior ecclesiastical officer in the Church in Wales Diocese of Llandaff. The archdeacon is the senior priest with responsibility over the area of the archdeaconry of Llandaff, one of two archdeaconries in the diocese (the other is Margam). The archdeaconry of Llandaff currently consists of two large deaneries: Cardiff, and Eglwysilan. [1]
The first recorded archdeacons of Llandaff occur soon after the Norman Conquest. However, no territorial titles are recorded until after c. 1125. Until 1843, when the separate position of Dean of Llandaff was created, the Archdeacon also performed the duties of cathedral dean.
Roderick Ernest Alexander Green (called Rhod since c. 2023; [15] previously called Rod; [16] born 1974) [17] was collated Archdeacon of Llandaff on 5 September 2021. [18] He trained for the ministry at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford and received ordination in the Church of England: [17] he was made deacon at Petertide 2007 (30 June) — by Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, at St Paul's Cathedral [19] — and ordained priest on 17 May 2008 — by Stephen Oliver, Bishop of Stepney, at St John-at-Hackney. [20] He then served all his ministry in the Diocese of London prior to his archidiaconal collation: as curate at Christ Church, Spitalfields, Associate Vicar at St Paul's Church, Shadwell [17] (an HTB church plant), [21] and Vicar in Harrow as several churches there united as a "resource church".

The Diocese of Monmouth is a diocese of the Church in Wales. Despite the name, its cathedral is located not in Monmouth but in Newport — the Cathedral Church of St Woolos. Reasons for not choosing the title of Newport included the existence of a Catholic Bishop of Newport until 1916. This apparent anomaly arose in 1921 when the diocese was created with no location for the cathedral yet chosen. Various options were being considered, such as restoring Tintern Abbey, building from scratch on Ridgeway Hill in Newport, and upgrading St Woolos, then a parish church; in the meantime the new diocese, as it covers more or less the territory of the county of Monmouth, was named the "Diocese of Monmouth". Prior to 1921 the area had been the archdeaconry of Monmouth.
The Bishop of Llandaff is the ordinary of the Church in Wales Diocese of Llandaff.
Dean of Llandaff is the title given to the head of the chapter of Llandaff Cathedral, which is located in Llandaff, Cardiff, Wales. It is not an ancient office – the head of the chapter was historically the Archdeacon who appears in this role in the Liber Landavensis and in the Chapter Acts preserved in the Glamorgan Records Office – but the office of a separate Dean was established by act of parliament in 1843. A century later, the Deanery was merged with the Vicarage of Llandaff. The Chapter forfeited its legal rights on Disestablishment in 1920, when the Dean and Chapter as an ecclesiastical corporation was dissolved, under the terms of the Welsh Church Act 1914. There continues, however, to be a Dean and Chapter under the scheme or constitution made under the Constitution of the Church in Wales.
