Talk:St Germans, Cornwall

Largest parish?
Both under St German's Priory Church and at Altarnun a claim to be the largest parish is made: they cannot both be right.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 05:55, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Reference to Genuki should be a way of verifying this.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 20:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Early Suffragan Bishops
The Suffragan Bishops Act 1534 includes Sayncte Germayns in Cornewell as one of the towns to have a Suffragan Bishop. This article and Bishop of St Germans only mention one from 1905 to 1918 before the current series starting in 1974. Surely it didn't take 370 years to get around to appointing the first one. A quick search round the web turns up a reference to Wharton's List of Suffragan Bishops from the 18th-century but not the text itself. Has anyone got access to this or another source for earlier Bishops or, indeed, confirmation that there weren't any? --Cavrdg (talk) 17:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It would seem that it did! The list of sixteenth century suffragans in the Handbook of British Chronology doesn't list St Germans (or many of the others in the Act), the practice of appointing of Suffragans then seems to have fallen into abeyance until the modern practice was revived in 1870 according to Cripps' Law Relating to Church and Clergy.
