The Bishop of Barrow-in-Furness was an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Carlisle, in the Province of York, England. The See was created by Order in Council on 6 April 1889 (under the Suffragans Nomination Act 1888)[1] and took its name after the town of Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria. Since 1944, the title has been in abeyance.[2]
