Bishop of Penrith

Suffragan bishop of the Church of England

The Bishop of Penrith is an episcopal title named after the town of Penrith in Cumbria.[1]

The title was first mentioned "as Pereth" in the Suffragan Bishops Act 1534 (alongside a see for Penreth – now called Penrydd – in Pembrokeshire). It was first used for the Diocese of Ripon in 1888,[1] but the incumbent's episcopal title was transferred to Richmond by Royal Warrant in 1889.[1] Since 1939, the Bishop of Penrith has been a suffragan bishop in the Church of England Diocese of Carlisle assisting the diocesan Bishop of Carlisle in overseeing the diocese.[1]

Bishops of Penrith

From  | Until  | Incumbent  | Notes
1534 | 1888 | in abeyance | Crockfords shows John Bird as Bishop 1537-39 but this is almost certainly incorrect due to the misidentification of his See of Penreth with Penrith. John Byrde was consecrated for Dio.Llandaff (possibly for Skenfrith in Monmouthshire) and in 1539 was translated to Bangor.
