John Thornber

Bishop John Thornber is the current Bishop of Weatherfield.

Bishop Thornber visited the vicar of St. Mary's Church, Billy Mayhew, in July 2016. Todd Grimshaw is present, pretending to be a church goer with flowers and wine for the Church tombola. Todd talks to John about his views on homosexuality. As he leaves, Todd and Billy passionately kiss.

The Bishop returns again in September, telling Billy that there had been a complaint about Todd's presence at the vicarage. John tells Billy that Todd must leave, causing Billy to doubt his faith.

In December, Billy had decided to leave the Church to have a relationship with Todd, shocking John. However, in January 2017, Billy decided to return to the Church and the Bishop gave him his old parish back.
