SODOR AND See also:MAN , the name of the bishopric of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)

- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church of See also:England which includes the Isle of Man and adjacent islets. In 1154 the See also:diocese of Sodor was formed to include the See also:Hebrides and other islands See also:west of See also:Scotland (Norse .Sudr-eyjar, Sudreys, or See also:southern isles, in distinction from Nordr-eyjar, the See also:northern isles of See also:Orkney and See also:Shetland) and the Isle of Man. It was in the archdiocese of See also:Trondhjem in See also:Norway. (The connexion of the Isle of Man with Norway is considered s.v. MAN, ISLE oF). A See also:Norwegian diocese of Sodor had been in existence previously, but its See also:history is obscure, and the first See also:union of Man with it in 1098 by See also:Magnus Barefoot is only traditional. The Norwegian connexion was broken in 1266, and in 1334 Man was detached from the Scottish islands. The See also:cathedral of Sodor was on St See also:Patrick's Isle at See also:Peel (q.v.), and it is possible that the name Sodor being lost, its meaning was applied to the isle as the seat of the See also:bishop. The termination " and Man " seems to have been added in the 17th See also:century by a legal draughtsman ignorant of the proper application of the name of Sodor to the bishopric of Man. By the latter See also:part of the 16th century the terms Sodor and Man had become interchangeable, the bishopric being spoken of as that of Sodor or Man. Till 1604 the bishops invariably signed themselves Sodorensis; after that date and till 1684, sometimes Soderensis and sometimes " Sodor and Man," and after 1684 always " Sodor and Man." The see, while for some purposes in the archdiocese of See also:York, has its own See also:convocation. The bishop sits in the See also:House of Lords, but has no See also:vote.
