About us
Who we are
The Diocese of Peterborough, founded in 1541, has 348 parishes and 379 churches covering Northamptonshire, the northern part of Peterborough and the county of Rutland. Peterborough Cathedral is our mother church. With around 200 clergy and a similar number of lay ministers, we serve a population of just under a million people.
Our worshipping community consists of over 20,000 people of all ages and backgrounds and around 12,000 people attend a service each Sunday. Almost 20,000 4-18 year olds attend over 100 church schools in the diocese.
The Diocese is led by The Bishop of Peterborough, assisted by the suffragan Bishop of Brixworth. The 39th Bishop of Peterborough is the Right Reverend Debbie Sellin. Bishop Debbie was installed at a service in Peterborough Cathedral on 3 March 2024.
