History

Diocese of Bangor Act 1685
Act of Parliament
Parliament of England
Long title	An Act for the Repair of the Cathedral Church of Bangor, and for the Maintenance of the Choir there, and for the Augmentation of the Revenue of the Bishopric of Bangor; and also for an Augmentation of several Vicarages within the Comportion of Landinum, in the Diocese of Bangor aforesaid.
Citation	1 Ja. 2. c. 11
Dates
Royal assent	2 July 1685

The diocese in the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd was founded around 546 by Saint Deiniol.^[1] As with the rest of Wales, it initially resisted the papal mission of St Augustine of Canterbury in Britain. In 1534, the church in England and Wales broke allegiance with the Catholic Church and established the Church of England.^{[citation needed]}

The Report of the Commissioners appointed by his Majesty to inquire into the Ecclesiastical Revenues of England and Wales (1835) found the see had an annual net income of £4,464.^[2] This made it the second wealthiest diocese in Wales, after St Asaph.^{[citation needed]}

After a brief restoration with the Holy See during the reign of Queen Mary I, the diocese remained part of the Anglican Province of Canterbury until the early 20th century. Following the Welsh Church Act 1914, the Welsh dioceses formed the independent Church in Wales within the Anglican Communion on 31 March 1920.^{[citation needed]}
