Bishop of Ripon and Leeds

Bishop of Ripon and Leeds

Though one ancient Bishop of Ripon is known, the modern diocese dates from 1836. Since 1999, the see has been called the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds, reflecting the growing importance of Leeds, the largest city within the diocese and one of the fastest-growing cities in Britain.

The Bishop lives in Hollin House, a 6-bedroom house in Weetwood, North Leeds, having moved there from Ripon in August 2008. The current Bishop is the Rt Rev John Richard Packer, who signs 'John Ripon and Leeds'. There is one Suffragan Bishop in the Diocese, the Bishop of Knaresborough.
