After the death of William Stubbs in April 1901, Paget was recommended to succeed him as Bishop of Oxford.[4] He was elected bishop the following month, and consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury in St Paul's Cathedral 29 June 1901.[5] A couple of days later he was received by Edward VII and invested as Chancellor of the Order of the Garter,[6] an office held by the Bishop of Oxford between 1837 and 1937.
Paget served as bishop until his death in 1911.[7]
