  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Archpriest Controversy
This controversy arose in England on the appointment of George Blackwell as archpriest with jurisdiction over the secular clergy of England and Scotland, by the Holy See on 7 March, 1598.
On 6 April, 1599, a Brief was issued confirming the appointment of the archpriest, and the imprisoned priests were released and dismissed from Rome, but forbidden to return to England.
This was granted to them after the death of William Harrison, the third archpriest, in 1621, when the Holy See selected William Bishop, one of the leading appellants, to be the first Vicar Apostolic of England.

 Archpriest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archpriest is the title of a priest who has supervisory duties over a number of parishes.
Archpriests are styled "Very Reverend" and are distinguished by the award of a pectoral cross.
With this in mind, although the Archpriest of Haccombe holds a unique role in the Church of England, it must be considered analogous with certain Incumbencies which bear the title "Dean" regardless of whether or not their Incumbent is the actual Rural or Area Dean.

Archpriests also add their archpriest levels to their cleric levels to determine the level of effect of any domain granted power.
