From the Liverpool diocesan website: Bishop of Warrington announces his retirement
Heartfelt good wishes to Bishop Richard on his retirement. I’m glad that he is returning to Sheffield. Fifteen or so years ago when I was churchwarden of a struggliong council estate parish in Sheffield and he was the archdeacon,his kindness and support were immensely helpful to us and we haven’t forgotten this.
