Province of York
The Province of York , along with the Province of Canterbury, is one of two ecclesiastical provinces that make up the Church of England , and consists of 14 dioceses that comprise the northern third of England and the Isle of Man . York was made an archbishopric in 735 , the first archbishop of which was Egbert of York . The Archbishops of York later also claimed metropolitan authority over Scotland , but these claims were never implemented and were extinguished when the Archdioceses of St Andrews and Glasgow were formed.
The Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province is the Archbishop of York , the lower of the two Archbishops in the Church of England.
