Launcelot Blackburne (1717-1724). Of this bishop there is little to record. He was translated to the Archbishopric of York in 1724.
Stephen Weston (1724-1742). The episcopal registers were now kept for the first time in English. His long reign seems to have been quite uneventful, and probably was, therefore, entirely successful.
Nicholas Claggett (1742-1746) was translated from St. David's.
George Lavington (1747-1762).
Frederick Keppel (1762-1777), a son of the Earl of Albemarle, was a canon of Windsor when appointed Bishop of Exeter.
John Ross (1778-1792).
William Buller (1792-1796), of an old west country family, was promoted from the deanery of Canterbury.
Henry Reginald Courtenay (1797-1803), translated to this see from Bristol.
John Fisher (1803-1807) was tutor to the Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria. He was translated to Salisbury in 1807.
George Pelham (1807-1820) was translated from Bristol. After, according to Oliver, "for thirteen years expecting higher preferment," he was promoted to Lincoln.
