#Offspring Blackball# (1708-1716) was chiefly and honourably known as a promoter of charity schools.
#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.
#Frederick Keppel# (1762-1777), a son of the Earl of Albemarle, was a canon of Windsor when appointed Bishop of Exeter.
#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.
#William Carey# (1820-1830), head master of Westminster School. When he had been ten years at Exeter he was translated to St. Asaph, a curious reversal of the usual proceeding. For although a Welsh bishopric often led to an English one, a change from Exeter to St. Asaph could hardly have been "preferment" in the ordinary sense.
#Christopher Bethell# (1830-1831). Exeter, for this bishop also, was merely a stepping-stone between Gloucester and Bangor.
#Henry Phillpotts# (1831-1868) was the most famous bishop who has held the see in this century. He restored the palace, which had fallen into a ruined condition. He was energetic about the affairs of his diocese, a born ruler of men, and a scholar of eminence. The story of his episcopate is a well-known chapter to students of the ecclesiastical history of the first half of the queen's reign.
#Frederick Temple# (1869-1885), head master of Rugby, 1858-1869; Bishop of Exeter, 1869; translated to London, 1885, and to the Metropolitan See of Canterbury, 1896.
#Edward Henry Bickersteth# (1885-1901) was Dean of Gloucester when appointed bishop. Resigned.
#Herbert Edward Ryle# (1901-1903) translated to Winchester. On resigning the see of Winchester he became Dean of Westminster.
