  • The chancellor is the formal head of Durham University. They are nominated by the council and senate in joint session and appointed by convocation. As of July 2002 the office is vacant, after Sir Thomas Allen stepped down from the role. He will be succeeded in summer 2023 by Fiona Hill, who was elected by convocation on 28 November 2022. Until 1909, the university was governed by the dean and chapter of Durham Cathedral, with the warden (held ex officio by the Dean of Durham from 1862) being both the formal and executive head of the university. Following the implementation of statutes made in 1909 under the University of Durham Act 1908, the warden became the chancellor and the sub-warden the vice-chancellor, meaning Durham was, like most other British universities, headed by a chancellor. * 1909–1912 George William Kitchin, Dean of Durham * 1913–1918 Henry Percy, 7th Duke of Northumberland * 1919–1928 John Lambton, 3rd Earl of Durham * 1929–1930 Alan Percy, 8th Duke of Northumberland * 1931–1949 Charles Vane-Tempest-Stewart, 7th Marquess of Londonderry * 1950–1957 G.
