The latest investigation into Bishop George Bell has been dropped by Sussex Police.
A new investigation into the deceased former Chichester Bishop began this year when a fresh allegation was made against him.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “On Tuesday, January 30 this year we received information from the Church of England concerning an allegation made against the late Bishop George Bell.
“The information was assessed and a proportionate investigation has been carried out to clarify the circumstances. “This was done thoroughly and sensitively, although of course further police investigation or action is not possible as Bishop Bell died 60 years ago.
“The investigation was completed in March 2018.
