Anglican Diocese of Trinidad and Tobago

The Anglican diocese of Trinidad and Tobago [ [http://trinidad.anglican.org/Our%20Bishops.html Web-site] ] was set up in 1872. Before that, the area was nominally under the charge of the Bishop of London, a situation that had been assumed to hold from 1660 onwards. In 1813, the then Bishop of London denied it was his responsibility, and so it turned out that appointments to the Church in the Colonies were recommended by the local governor, in this case of the Leeward Islands. From 1842 until 1872 the area was administered by the Bishop of Barbados.
