Information About

Bishop Of Derby




The diocese was formed from part of the Diocese Of Southwell in 1927 under King George V and roughly covers the county of Derbyshire . Before this time however there had been two Suffragan Bishops of Derby whilst the bishopric was still within the Diocese Of Southwell .

The bishop's seat ( ''cathedra'' ) or See is located in the City of Derby at The Cathedral Church Of All Saints - formerly a parish church which was elevated to cathedral status in 1927 . The bishop's residence is Derby Church House, Full Street, Derby.

The current bishop is the Right Reverend Dr Alastair '''Redfern''' , the 7th '''Bishop of Derby''', who signs ''+ Alastair Derby''. He is not yet one of the 21 senior bishops (by length of tenure) and so is not entitled to sit in the House Of Lords .
