The Bishop of Penrydd (originally spelled Penreth) was a suffragan see in the Church of England (then covering England and Wales) named in the Suffragan Bishops Act 1534 . [1]
Only one bishop was appointed by Robert Holgate , Bishop of Llandaff from 1537 until 1539. The holder John Bird went on to be Bishop of Bangor and then Chester .
An Inventory of Ancient Monuments explains how the establishment of the see may have come about. [1]
Penrydd was subsequently (until 1974) a parish in Cilgerran Hundred .
