Archbishop Williams was preceded by the Rt. Rev. [[George Carey]] (1991-2002). Carey rose through the church from working-class origins, and was seen as being on the Church of England's [[Evangelical]] wing.

Carey was preceded by Archbishop [[Robert Runcie]] (1980-1991). Runcie was seen as a fully-paid-up member of the British Establishment, whose contacts and knowledge of protocol were markedly superior to those of the more naive, working-class Archbishop Carey. His natural home was the [[High Church]] wing of the Church of England, whose beliefs and practices have some affinities with [[Roman Catholicism]].
