Walter Suffield (died 19 May 1257) was a medieval Bishop of Norwich.
Life
Suffield was a canonist at Paris before his election to the see of Norwich about 9 July 1244. He was consecrated on 26 February 1245.[1] He was an eloquent preacher, and showed generosity to the poor (during one famine, even selling some of his own goods in order to provide them with food).[2]
In 1249, he founded St. Giles's Hospital in Norwich (which remains in use as the Great Hospital to this day) to provide care for the poor.[3]
He has been reported as visiting his bishop's palace at South Elmham Hall where he enjoyed the hunting.[4]
He died on 19 May 1257,[5] leaving bequests to both the poor and the hospital.[6]
