The diocese of Lucknow was established in 1893 by carving it out from the Diocese of Calcutta. The diocese was given the name of Lucknow although the mother Cathedral, All Saints Cathedral and diocesan headquarters stayed in Prayagraj. It was because Prayagraj was situated within the legally defined territories of the diocese of Calcutta.
[2] It is the biggest Diocese in Uttar Pradesh and one of the oldest dioceses in north India.
The Bishop of Lucknow was the Ordinary of the Anglican Diocese of Lucknow from its inception in 1893 until the foundation of the Church in India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon in 1927 and its consequent merger with other Protestant Churches to form the Church of North India in 1970; and since then head of one of the united church's biggest dioceses.
