Diocese of Beverley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Diocese of Beverley is a historical Roman Catholic diocese founded in 1850 by Pope Pius IX with the restoration of the English Roman Catholic hierarchy. The diocese comprised most of the Yorkshire area. The pro-cathedral was located first at St George's York and then at St Wilfrid's York.

The diocese was disbanded with the creation of the diocese of Middlesbrough and the diocese of Leeds.
