The Diocese of East Anglia is a suffragan diocese within the Province of Westminster, erected on 13 March 1976 by the decree Quod Ecumenicum of Pope Paul VI, using territory taken from the Diocese of Northampton, which was created in 1850. After the Reformation, the area of East Anglia was soon placed under the care of the Vicars Apostolic of the Midland District, and later of the Eastern District, until the hierarchy was restored by Pope Blessed Pius IX.
Today, the Diocese of East Anglia incorporates the English counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire and the city of Peterborough.
For the purposes of civil law, the Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia was established under a Deed of Revocation and Appointment dated 2 October 1979.
It is a registered charity (Reg. No. 278742) and is made up of 50 parishes in the counties of Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Suffolk and Norfolk. It also encompasses 24 Catholic schools and 2 inter-denominational church schools. A new primary school has received permission and is planned to be open in September 2022.
The East Anglia Roman Catholic Diocese Trustee was incorporated on 1 February 1979 and was appointed as the Custodian Trustee of the Diocese on 2 October 1979 under the terms of a Deed of Revocation and Appointment.
The objective of the Diocese is set out in its Deed of Revocation and Appointment as: "The advancement of the Roman Catholic Religion in the Diocese and for the service and support whether in the Diocese or outside the Diocese of charitable works and objects promoted by the Roman Catholic Church." This overall objective is accomplished through the network of parishes and schools throughout the Diocese, seeking to involve the community as a whole, and furthering ecumenical relationships.

Article by Carina Murphy in The Tablet about the school places cap. Article makes reference to 2017 and Helen Bates, the assistant director of schools services in the Diocese of East Anglia; its severest shortage of Catholic schools in the country; Bishop, Alan Hopes (cap had “failed to create religious diversity” and stopped new Catholic schools from opening). Reference to St John Henry Newman Catholic Voluntary Academy (VA) (opened in 2022) and the Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Swaffham (opened in 2019).
"For more than 12 years, the Catholic Church in England and Wales has refused to build new Catholic schools as long as half the places must be open to children of all faiths or none. Is it time to think again?
The Catholic Union, backed by the Catholic Education Service (CES), has handed over its 1,058-strong petition to “Scrap the Cap” on faith-allocated places in new state-funded schools to Education Secretary Gillian Keegan and is waiting expectantly to hear whether the Prime Minister will push it through as part of his bold shake-up of the education system."
