Bishop of Ramsbury


The Bishop of Ramsbury is a suffragan to the Bishop of Salisbury in the Church of England. In Saxon times the village of Ramsbury in Wiltshire was an extremely important location for the Church, and several of the early bishops went on to become Archbishops of Canterbury.

Saxon Bishopric

The bishopric of Ramsbury was created in AD 909. It was occasionally referred to as the bishopric of Ramsbury and Sonning. In 1058 it was joined with the bishopric of Sherborne to form the diocese of Sarum (Salisbury) and the see was translated to Old Sarum in 1075.
