Holders of bishoprics founded between 597 and 1066 in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Some then lapsed completely, or simply moved their seat. For Saxon dioceses in other countries, see those countries' bishop categories.

For the dioceses see Category:Anglo-Saxon dioceses.

Inclusion rules

• If the seat moved before 1066, both seats are categorised here (e.g. Lindisfarne and Durham)
• if the seat moved after 1066 (e.g. Ramsbury to Salisbury), only the Saxon seat (e.g. Ramsbury) is categorised here.
• If the seat was founded before 1066 and is still the same as it was in the Saxon era (e.g. Canterbury), it is categorised here.
