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. 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).
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." He died on 19 May 1257, leaving bequests to both the poor. And the hospital.
