The Roman Catholic Diocese of Beverley is an historical diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in England.
It took its name after St John of Beverley, 8th century bishop of York.
[1] On the restoration of the hierarchy in England and Wales by Pope Pius IX, the Yorkshire District was elevated to the Diocese of Beverley on 29 September 1850.
[5] Twenty-eight years later, the diocese was suppressed on 20 December 1878 and its area was divided into the dioceses of Leeds[2] and Middlesbrough.
[7][8] The recent titular bishop was the Right Reverend John Hine, who served as an Auxiliary Bishop in the Archdiocese of Southwark (2001–2016).
