Hertford

Bishops Suffragan of Hertford

An Order in Council of 5 July 1889 directed that the town of Hertford "should be taken and accepted for the See of a Bishop Suffragan". In 1967, the report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission on the organisation of the Church in
London and the south-east of England recommended that the Diocese of St. Albans should have a second suffragan, for whom there was already the dormant See provided by the 1889 Order in Council, and the first appointment was made in
December 1967. The holders of the See since then have been:

1967 Albert John Trillo

1982 Kenneth Harold Pillar
1971 Hubert Victor Whitsey
(translated to Chester)
1990 Robin Jonathan Norman Smith
1974 Peter Mumford (translated to Truro) 2001 Christopher Richard James
