John Piers (1522/3–94) was translated to the diocese of York from Salisbury on 19 February 1588/9 and held the see until his death in 1594. The see of Chester was formed in 1541 combining the archdeaconries of Chester and Richmond (North Riding). The archdeaconries retained their position in the church hierarchy, so visitations of the Richmond deaneries were generally recorded in the court books of the diocese of York (Claire Cross, 'Piers, John (1522/3–1594),' ODNB, accessed 27 December 2020; Colin Podmore, 'Dioceses and Episcopal Sees in England: A Background Report for the Dioceses Commission,' [London,] July 2008, 26).
