Bishop of Sodor and Man

Bishop of Sodor and Man

The Bishop of Sodor and Man is the Ordinary of the Diocese of Sodor and Man in the Province of York in the Church of England.

The diocese covers the Isle of Man. The see is in the town of Peel where the bishop's seat is located at the Cathedral Church of St German, elevated to cathedral status on 1 November 1980.

The diocese is now called "Sodor and Man". The termination "and Man" appears to have been added in the 17th century and the designation "Sodor and Man" had become a fixture by 1684.

The right to nominate to the See of Sodor and Man rests with the Crown, which acts, perhaps somewhat anomalously (in view of Man's status as a Crown Dependency), on the advice of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
