The Bishop of Hulme was an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Manchester, in the Province of York, England. [1] The See was created by Order in Council on 11 October 1923 (under the Suffragans Nomination Act 1888) [2] and took its name after Hulme, an area of the city of Manchester.
