Archbishops of Canterbury

Since St Augustine, there have been (to date) 105 Archbishops of Canterbury. This quiz lists all the archbishops since the Norman Conquest of 1066. Note: the archbishops listed are those those that were officially consecrated as Archbishop. Gaps in the dates are due to periods when there was no sitting Archbishop (such as during the Cromwell Interregnum).
