The Archdeaconry of Barnstaple or Barum is one of the oldest archdeaconries in England. It is an administrative division of the Diocese of Exeter in the Church of England. ==History== The Diocese of Exeter was divided into four archdeaconries in Norman times, probably during the bishopric of Osbern FitzOsbern (1072–1103):〔Watkin, Hugh R., ''The History of Totnes Priory'', Vol.2, Torquay, 1917, p.981〕 *Exeter *Barnstaple *Totnes *Cornwall In 1782, it was noted that the archdeaconry contained the deaneries of ''Barum'' (Barnstaple), Chumleigh, Hertland, Shirwell, South Molton and Torrington.〔''Thesaurus ecclesiasticus provincialis''; or, a survey of the diocese of Exeter: printed and sold by the editors, B.
