Bishop of Berwick
The Bishop of Berwick was an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Durham, in the Province of York, England.[1] The title takes its name after the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland. Since the death of the only bishop in 1572, the title has remained in abeyance.[2]
On 28 November 2015, Frank White, Assistant Bishop of Newcastle (at the end of a vacancy in the See of Newcastle), presented a proposal to the Diocesan Synod of the Diocese of Newcastle (within which diocese Berwick now lies) to revive the Suffragan See of Berwick.[3][4] The Dioceses Commission approved the petition to revive the See[5] and the post was advertised in April 2016.[6]
