Dear Luc,
With regard to your list of bishops, the second diocese
in 17th-century Kent was that of Rochester. The dioceses
have never really coincided with county boundaries though
Chichester does = Sussex. The 26 17th-c. dioceses were:
CANTERBURY, YORK, Rochester (3), Chichester (4), Winchester
(5), Salisbury (6), Exeter (7), Bristol (8), Bath and Wells
(9), Gloucester (10), Hereford (11), Worcester (12), Coventry
and Lichfield (13), Lincoln (14), Norwich (15), Chester (16)
Peterborough (17), Durham (18), Carlisle (19), London (20)
Llandaff (21), St. David's (22), Bangor (23), St. Asaph (24),
Ely (25) and Oxford (26). (That's in the order I found them on
the map--HISTORICAL ATLAS OF BRITAIN [1981], p. 86).
