Deans of Chapel



Originally Trinity had a single Dean, who was responsible for both the Chapel and the conduct of members of College.  The job was divided in 1923, when the post of Dean of Chapel, a Fellow in Holy Orders, became separate from that of the Dean of College.  Confusingly, both are sometimes referred to as ‘Dean’.
