History
The Apostolic Vicariate of the Yorkshire District was created out of the Northern District on 11 May 1840. As its name implied, it comprised most of the Yorkshire area.
On the restoration of the hierarchy in England and Wales by Pope Pius IX, the Yorkshire District was elevated to the Diocese of Beverley on 29 September 1850. The pro-cathedral was located first at St George's, York, and then at St Wilfrid's, York. Twenty-eight years later, the diocese was suppressed on 20 December 1878 and its area was divided into the dioceses of Leeds and Middlesbrough.
The titular see of Beverley (latine: Beverlacum; Latin: Beverlacensis) was resurrected by the Roman Catholic Church in 1969. The current titular bishop is the Right Reverend John Hine who serves as an Auxiliary Bishop in the Archdiocese of Southwark.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All objects, all phases of culture are alive. They have voices. They speak of their history and interrelatedness. And they are all talking at once!”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
