| | <p> in Gloucestershire, England, the seat of a bishopric of the Church of England, founded by Henry VIII, who in 1542 converted the abbey-church of the [[Augustine]] monks into a cathedral, dividing the abbey lands between the bishop and the chapter, which he made to consist of a dean and six secular canons or prebendaries. The church was also served by an archdeacon, six minor canons, a deacon and subdeacon, six lay clerks, and six choristers. This see is now united to that of Gloucester, and the bishop is styled of [[Gloucester]] and Bristol. The last bishop of Bristol, Dr. Allen, was transferred to [[Ely]] in 1836. The present bishop of Gloucester and [[Bristol]] (1861) is [[Charles]] Baring, consecrated 1856. </p> |
