Bishop of Penrith
The Bishop of Penrith is an episcopal title which takes its name 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 – traditionally interpreted as being Penrydd – in Pembrokeshire, though this identification must be very doubtful, given Penrydd's lack of any historic civic or ecclesiastical significance). The title was first used for the Diocese of Ripon in 1888,[1] but the incumbent had his episcopal title transferred to Richmond by Royal Warrant in 1889.[1] Since 1939, the Bishop of Penrith is a suffragan bishop in the Church of England Diocese of Carlisle who assists the diocesan Bishop of Carlisle in overseeing the diocese.[1]
