ECCLESIASTICAL GOVERNMENT AND DIVISIONS.
Yorkshire forms part of the province of York, which includes also the bishoprics
of Carlisle, Chester, Durham, Liverpool, Manchester, Ripon, Sodor and Man,
and Wakefield. The bishops of these sees, under the presidency of the
archbishop of York, Primate of England, constitute the Upper House of
Convocation; and the Lower House consists of 75 members, viz., six deans of the above
dioceses, twenty-one archdeacons, seven proctors for the chapters, and forty-one
proctors for the clergy of the archdeaconries.
The East Riding is wholly within the diocese of York, and the archbishop is
assisted in the performance of his episcopal duties by two suffragan bishops
recently appointed, who take their titles from Beverley and Hull.
A small portion of the Riding is in the archdeaconry of Cleveland, and the
remainder is in that of the East Riding.
