Bishop of Kingston
The Bishop of Kingston (technically of Kingston upon Thames or, originally, of Kingston-on-Thames)[1] is an episcopal title used by an area bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Southwark, in the Province of Canterbury, England.[2] The title takes its name after Kingston upon Thames, a settlement in south-west London. The bishops suffragan of Kingston have been area bishops since the Southwark area scheme was founded in 1991.[3]
