Bishop of Hull

The Bishop of Hull is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of York, England.[1] The suffragan bishop, along with the Bishop of Selby and the Bishop of Whitby, assists the Archbishop of York in overseeing the diocese.

The title takes its name after the city of Kingston upon Hull and was first created under the Suffragan Bishops Act 1534.[2] Today, the Bishop of Hull is responsible for the Archdeaconry of the East Riding.

Not to be confused with the Roman Catholic Bishop of Hull, the bishop of a Diocese in Canada founded in 1963, currently the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Gatineau.
