History
The Anglican Diocese of Portsmouth was created on 1 May 1927[1] from the Diocese of Winchester's archdeaconries of the Isle of Wight and of Portsmouth, which had been created in that diocese on 22 December 1871[2] and 6 February 1925 respectively.[3]
In November 1999, the Portsmouth archdeaconry was split in two: Lowson remained as Archdeacon of Portsdown and a new Archdeacon of the Meon was appointed.[4]
