Diocese of York


The Diocese of York is an administrative division of the Church of England, part of the Province of York. It covers the city of York, the eastern part of North Yorkshire, and most of the East Riding of Yorkshire.
The diocese is headed by the archbishop of York and its cathedral is York Minster. The diocese is divided into three archdeaconries of Cleveland in the north, the East Riding, and in the south-west the Archdeaconry of York.
The diocese was once much larger, covering Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and parts of Northumberland, Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland.

Bishops

The diocesan archbishop of York is primarily supported by three suffragan bishops: the bishop of Hull, the bishop of Whitby and the bishop of Selby. While not operating a formal area scheme, each suffragan takes informal responsibility for one archdeaconry. Alternative episcopal oversight is provided by the provincial episcopal visitor the bishop suffragan of Beverley ; 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

In 1541, the archdeanery of Richmond, North Yorkshire, which included part of the Yorkshire Dales, North Lancashire, the southern part of Westmorland and the ward of Allerdale above Derwent in Cumberland, became part of the new Diocese of Chester.
From the reign of Henry I to 1572 the liberty or county palatine of Hexhamshire 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 the Diocese of Durham.
In 1836 the western part was split into the Ripon diocese, which was later subdivided into the dioceses of Ripon and Leeds, Bradford, and Wakefield and now constitutes most of the Diocese of Leeds. In 1884 Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire became part of the new Diocese of Southwell, from which Derbyshire was split off again in 1927 to form the Diocese of Derby. In 1914 the Diocese of Sheffield was split off as an independent diocese.

Archdeacon for Generous Giving and Stewardship

resigned as archdeacon of the East Riding on 26 May 2014 in order to be collated as "Archdeacon for Generous Giving and Stewardship" that 23 June, a position he held until he retired on 1 July 2017.

Archdeaconries and deaneries

From 1972 to 2017 the Deanery of Hull was, unusually, sub-divided into three Area Deaneries of Central and North Hull, East Hull, and West Hull.
