This vehicle was developed using the hull of the Valentine armoured tank to equip the motorised units of the English army with an artillery self-propeller for the fire support of the armoured troops. The Bishop was equipped with a 25 Pounds ( 88 mm.) howitzer, obtained from the standard field cannon of the divisional artillery. The Bishop was quickly replaced with the American M7 Priest self-propeller due to the excessive dimensions of the tower which made it unstable.
