Bishop of Knaresborough
The Bishop of Knaresborough was an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Dioceses of Ripon and then of Leeds, in the Province of York, England.[1] The title took its name after the historic market and spa town of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire.
Following the creation of the Diocese of Leeds[2] on 20 April 2014, the see was eventually renamed to become the suffragan see for the area Bishop of Ripon.[3] To that end the General Synod approved a petition from the Bishop of Leeds in February 2015;[4] that petition was approved by the Queen-in-Council on 19 March 2015[5] and so the see was translated to Ripon.
James Bell continues in the same See, becoming the area Bishop of Ripon.[6]
