Suffragan Bishops Act 1534
- Suffragan Bishops Act 1534
The Suffragan Bishops Act 1534 was an Act of the Parliament of England (26 Hen. VIII c. 14) that authorised the appointment of suffragan (i.e. assistant) bishops in England and Wales. The tradition of appointing suffragans named after a town in the diocese other than the town the diocesan bishop is named after can be dated from this Act.
The Act named Thetford, Ipswich, Colchester, Dover, Guildford, Southampton, Taunton, Shaftesbury, Molton, Marlborough, Bedford, Leicester, Gloucester, Shrewsbury, Bristol, Penrith, Bridgwater, Nottingham, Hull, Huntingdon, Cambridge, Perth, Berwick-upon-Tweed, St Germans and the Isle of Wight [Bray, Gerald, 2004.
