The Lord High Almoner is a Diocesan bishop of the Church Of England . The current holder of the office is the Lord Bishop Of Wakefield , the Rt Rev'd Nigel Simeon McCulloch , appointed 1997. There is also an hereditary Grand Almoner , an office dating from 1685 and vested in the person of the Marquess Of Exeter , but this is not an office of the Royal Almonry and he has no role to play. The actual work of the office is undertaken by the Sub-Almoner, who is also the Sub-dean of the Chapel Royal , Deputy Clerk Of The Closet of the Ecclesiastical Household , and Domestic Chaplain at Buckingham Palace . There are in addition a Secretary, and Assistant Secretary, both offices of which are shared with other Royal Household appointments. There are also half a dozen wandsmen. The Almonry is responsible to the Keeper Of The Privy Purse for the arrangements for the annual Maundy service. LORD HIGH ALMONERS ''incomplete list''
