The Rt Rev Dr Christopher Cocksworth is widely tipped by the national press to succeed Dr Rowan Williams as the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Dr Williams announced on Friday he would leave his post in December to start a new role as Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, in the New Year.

At the age of 53, Dr Cocksworth is the youngest bishop in the Church.

He has been the Bishop of Coventry for the past four years and is married with five children.

Other candidates include the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, and the Bishop of London, Richard Chartres.
