The Bishop of Maidstone was an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Canterbury, in the Province of Canterbury, England.[1] The title takes its name after the county town of Maidstone in Kent and had a similar though subordinate role to that of the Bishop of Dover. It was decided at the Diocesan Synod of November 2010 that a new bishop will not be appointed.[2]
