Bishop of Swansea
Anglican suffragan bishop in Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bishop of Swansea was an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Diocese of St Davids,[1] in the Church of England Province of Canterbury until 1920 and then in the Church in Wales. It took its name after the town of Swansea, then in Glamorganshire; since the erection of the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon in 1923, the title has been united to the diocesan Bishop of Swansea and Brecon.[2]
