  Bishop of Clifton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bishop of Clifton heads the Catholic Diocese of Clifton in the Province of Birmingham, in England.
With the gradual abolition of the legal restrictions on the activities of Catholics in England and Wales in the early 19th century, Rome decided to proceed to bridge the gap of the centuries from Queen Elizabeth I by instituting Catholic dioceses on the regular historical pattern.
In this capacity the Bishop of Clifton retains possession of the archives of the Western District, one of the most important sources of information for the history of the Church in England from 1780 to 1850.

 Clifton
As the vicars Apostolic resided chiefly at Bath in Somerset, when the district was divided into the two dioceses of Clifton and Plymouth, it was fitting that the last Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, Dr. Joseph William Hendren, O.S.F. (1791-1866), consecrated in 1848, should become the first Bishop of Clifton.
A year after the foundation of the new diocese Dr. Hendren was translated to the See of Nottingham and was succeeded by Dr. Thomas Burgess (1791-1854).
On the death of Bishop Burgess, 27 Nov., 1854, there was a long vacancy, and the administration of the diocese was given provisionally to Archbishop Errington, coadjutor to Cardinal Wiseman.

 Essay on Bishop's "The Fish," by Clifton Snider
Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" is a narrative poem, told in the first person, about the confrontation between an amateur fisher--fishing in a "rented boat" (Bishop 1212; all references to the poem are to this edition)--and a "tremendous" battle-worn fish.
, is indicated by Bishop's calling the fish a "he" instead of an "it." This is not mere personification, for she treats the fish as a sentient being, with feelings not unlike those of a human being.
Bishop adroitly uses other poetic devices to enrich the moment she writes about.

Afterwards the Lord Bishop and the Dean together with many of the clergy partook of a capital dinner at the Clifton Hotel during and after which the utmost harmony and gentlemanly deportment prevailed.
