The Arches Court, in St Mary-le-Bow in the City of London, presided over by the Dean of Arches, is an ecclesiastical court of the Church of England covering the Province of Canterbury. The judge of the Arches court was until 1874 appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the life of the holder. But by the Public Worship Regulation Act 1874 the two archbishops were empowered to appoint a practising barrister or judge as described above.
