Keith Jukes
Anglican dean (1954-2013)
Keith Michael Jukes (18 February 1954 – 21 May 2013) was a senior Church of England priest. From 2007 to 2013, he was the dean of Ripon.
Early life and education
Jukes was born on 18 February 1954. He studied theology at the University of Leeds and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1976. From 1977 to 1978, he spent a year at Lincoln Theological College, an Anglican theological college, to prepare for ordained ministry.
Ordained ministry
Jukes was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1978 and as a priest on 30 June 1979. His first two postings were as a curate in the Diocese of Lichfield; the first from 1978 to 1981 and the second from 1981 to 1983. From 1983 to 1990, he was Curate-in-Charge of St Martin's Church, Stonydelph, Tamworth, Staffordshire: it is a jointly Anglican and Methodist church. In 1990, a team ministry was created joining St Martin's and two other churches. From 1990 to 1991, he served as Team Rector of the new parish and Rural Dean of Tamworth.

Why this record matters
The phrase “anglican dean (1954-2013)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6384581. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1954, 2013, 2007 and 1976.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
