This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Uncle uncle uncle (talk | contribs) at 19:13, 13 March 2014 (Why does Wikipedia let anybody edit when they insert obvious falsehoods! Everyone knows that Edward Roberts stopped being Bishop of Swindon in 1962! Why does Wikipedia list him as being the bishop until 1964? Is it really better to be wrong?). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The Bishop of Swindon is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Bristol, in the Province of Canterbury, England.[1] The title takes its name after the town of Swindon in Wiltshire. The title of Bishop of Malmesbury was the precursor title, named after Malmesbury in Wiltshire.
