Bishop of Cornwall

Bishop of Cornwall

The Bishop of Cornwall was an episcopal title which was used by Anglo Saxons between the 9th and 11th centuries. The bishop's seat was located at the village of St Germans, Cornwall. Later bishops of Cornwall were sometimes referred to as the bishops of St Germans. In 1050, the bishoprics of Cornwall and Crediton were merged and the Episcopal see was transferred to Exeter.[1][2]
