Immediately prior to its dissolution, it covered an area in western and northern Yorkshire as well as the south Teesdale area administered by County Durham which is traditionally part of Yorkshire. The cities of Ripon and Leeds were within its boundaries as are the towns of Harrogate, Richmond, Knaresborough, Hawes and Bedale and the surrounding countryside; its northern boundary was the River Tees. The diocesan Bishop of Ripon had his cathedral church at Ripon. The diocese was also served by a suffragan Bishop of Knaresborough and was divided into two archdeaconries, those of Richmond and Leeds. For organizational purposes, the diocese was further divided into eight deaneries: Richmond, Wensley, Ripon, Harrogate, Allerton, Headingley, Armley and Whitkirk. The first four deaneries are located in the Archdeaconry of Richmond, and the latter four are in the Archdeaconry of Leeds. The former Diocese covered an area of 1,359 square miles, with a range of urban and rural parishes, these range from urban areas like Holbeck and Armley with New Wortley, urban centres like Ripon and Richmond and rural parishes like Danby Wiske with Hutton Bonneville in the Vale of Mowbray, Eryholme on the southern bank of the River Tees and Upper Nidderdale high in the Yorkshire Dales. HistoryThe diocese of Ripon was originally created out of the dioceses of York and Chester in 1836 with Charles Thomas Longley consecrated as its first bishop. It was the first diocese to be created in England after the Reformation, and was erected on 5 October 1836 under the Established Church Act 1836.[1] On 3 September 1999 the diocese was renamed 'The Diocese of Ripon & Leeds' in order to reflect the demographic importance of Leeds within its boundaries; such importance was further recognised in the eventual creation of the new Diocese of Leeds. The diocesan bishop's residence and offices and the diocesan offices were based in Leeds, while the cathedral remained Ripon Cathedral. After 1999, the diocese was known as Ripon and Leeds diocese, or, less often, Ripon diocese. Future{{Main article|Anglican Diocese of Leeds}}On 2 March 2013, the diocesan synod voted in favour of proposals to abolish the diocese in order to create a larger Leeds diocese;[2] the proposal was approved on 8 July 2013 by the General Synod[3] and Ripon diocese was duly dissolved upon the creation of Leeds diocese on 20 April 2014.[4] References1. ^{{London Gazette|issue=19426|date=7 October 1836|pages=1738–1742}} 2. ^Thinking Anglicans – proposed new diocese for West Yorkshire (Accessed 4 March 2013) 3. ^The Church of England – Synod approves new Diocese of Leeds for West Yorkshire and The Dales 4. ^The Transformation Programme – First new diocese for more than 85 years created on April 20 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140420040111/http://www.wyadtransformation.org/?q=content%2Ffirst-new-diocese-more-85-years-created-april-20 |date=20 April 2014 }} (Accessed 19 April 2014) Bibliography
