The new Bishop of Newcastle has been announced following the retirement of The Right Reverend Christine Hardman in November last year.
Downing Street has announced The Right Reverend Dr Helen-Ann Hartley, Suffragan Bishop of Ripon, as the new Bishop of Newcastle after Her Late Majesty The Queen approved her nomination for election as Bishop of Newcastle before her death.
Rt Rev Hartley's appointment was announced at Newcastle Cathedral at 10am on Thursday and her installation is likely to take place in early 2023. She will move to the North East, which is where she was raised, in the coming months to take up the role.
