The Bishops' Office
Our two Bishops work together from the Bishops' Office, which forms part of the historic Bishop's Palace in Wells. They share a support team, who manage their diaries and correspondence, and assist with their pastoral, liturgical, and public ministries in support of the mission of the Church.
