[3] Peter Eagles was appointed Bishop of Sodor and Man, and was installed at the Cathedral Church of St German at Peel on 30 September 2017.

An Act of Parliament in 1542, during the reign of King Henry VIII, included the diocese in the Province of York.

The Bishop of Sodor and Man is mentioned in the song "If you Want a Receipt for that Popular Mystery" sung by Colonel Calverley in the operetta Patience (1881) by Gilbert and Sullivan.

The song lists the elements of a Heavy Dragoon, including "Style of the Bishop of Sodor and Man".

The Island of Sodor, the main setting of The Railway Series and Thomas & Friends, is named after, and part of, the diocese.
