Bishop of Whitby

The Bishop of Whitby is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of York, in the Province of York, England. The title takes its name after the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire. The Bishop of Whitby oversees the Archdeaconry of Cleveland. Following Philip North's declining the appointment he had originally accepted in the face of opposition over the issue of women ordained as bishops, on 3 July 2014 Paul Ferguson was consecrated as Bishop of Whitby.

The Bishop of Whitby formerly had episcopal oversight of traditionalist parishes in the whole Diocese of York. Bates agreed not to ordain women and Ladds and Warner were both opponents of the ordination of women; however with the appointment of Ferguson, a supporter of women's ordination, oversight has been passed to Glyn Webster, Bishop of Beverley (as PEV.)
