Bishop of Hertford

The Bishop of Hertford is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of St Albans, in the Province of Canterbury, England.[1] The suffragan See was created by Order in Council of 5 July 1889, but remained dormant until first filled in December 1967.[2] The title takes its name after Hertford, the county town of Hertfordshire. The Bishop suffragan of Hertford, along with the Bishop suffragan of Bedford, assists the diocesan Bishop of St Albans in overseeing the diocese.

On 5 March 2015, it was announced that Michael Beasley is to become the next bishop suffragan.[3]
