Bishop of Burnley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bishop of Burnley is a suffragan bishop in the Church of England diocese of Blackburn, which is within the province of York, England.[1]

The title takes its name from the town of Burnley in Lancashire. Originally, the suffragan bishops were appointed for the diocese of Manchester, but with the creation of the diocese of Blackburn in 1926, Burnley came under jurisdiction of the Bishop of Blackburn.
