TheDiocese of York is an administrative division of theChurch of England, part of theProvince of York. It covers the city ofYork, the eastern part ofNorth Yorkshire, and most of theEast Riding of Yorkshire.

The diocese is headed by thearchbishop of York and itscathedral isYork Minster. The diocese is divided into threearchdeaconries ofCleveland in the north (with aBishop of Whitby),the East Riding (with aBishop of Hull), and in the south-west theArchdeaconry of York (with abishop of Selby).

The diocese was once much larger, coveringYorkshire,Nottinghamshire andDerbyshire and parts ofNorthumberland,Lancashire,Cumberland andWestmorland.

Bishops

[edit]

Thediocesan archbishop of York (currentlyStephen Cottrell) is primarily supported by threesuffragan bishops: thebishop of Hull (founded 1891; currentlyEleanor Sanderson[1]), thebishop of Whitby (founded 1923; currentlyBarry Hill[1]) and the bishop of Selby (founded 1939; currentlyFlora Winfield[1]). While not operating a formalarea scheme, each suffragan takes informal responsibility for one archdeaconry (East Riding, Cleveland and York respectively).Alternative episcopal oversight (for parishes in the diocese who reject the ministry of priests who are women) is provided by theprovincial episcopal visitor (PEV) thebishop suffragan of Beverley (currentlyStephen Race); unlike in most dioceses, Beverley does not need to be licensed as an honorary assistant bishop since he is a suffragan in the diocese.

History

[edit]

In 1541, the archdeanery ofRichmond, North Yorkshire, which included part of theYorkshire Dales, North Lancashire (includingFurness), thesouthern part ofWestmorland and theward ofAllerdale above Derwent inCumberland, became part of the newDiocese of Chester. (These areas later became parts of other dioceses.)

From the reign ofHenry I to 1572 theliberty orcounty palatine ofHexhamshire was part of the diocese and also the archbishop was the lord palatine of the county. In 1572 the county palatine was abolished and transferred to Northumberland and theDiocese of Durham.

In 1836 the western part (corresponding broadly to theWest Riding) was split into theRipon diocese, which was later subdivided into the dioceses ofRipon and Leeds,Bradford, andWakefield and now constitutes most of theDiocese of Leeds. In 1884 Nottinghamshire andDerbyshire became part of the newDiocese of Southwell, from which Derbyshire was split off again in 1927 to form theDiocese of Derby. In 1914 theDiocese of Sheffield (coveringSouth Yorkshire) was split off as an independent diocese.
