Bishop of St Albans

Bishop of St Albans

The Bishop of St Albans is the Ordinary of the Church of England Diocese of St Albans in the Province of Canterbury. The bishop is supported in his work by two suffragan bishops, the Bishop of Hertford and the Bishop of Bedford, and three archdeacons.

The diocese covers the counties of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and parts of the London Borough of Barnet. The see is in the City of St Albans in Hertfordshire, where the cathedra (bishop's seat) is located at St Albans Cathedral. The cathedral building itself was an abbey church (part of St Albans Abbey) prior to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, then a parish church (purchased by the town in 1553) until its elevation to cathedral status in 1877.

The Bishop's residence is Abbey Gate House, Abbey Mill Lane, St Albans, Hertfordshire.

The office was created in 1877 when the diocese was created from the diocese of Rochester under Queen Victoria. The current bishop is the Right Reverend Christopher Herbert, the 9th Lord Bishop of St Albans, who signs "Christopher St Albans".
