Robert King was a sixteenth-century English churchman who became Bishop of Oxford during the reign of Edward VI and is identified in the local manor history as the episcopal holder of the Abbot's Manor.

The manor evidence concerns his office as bishop and not necessarily personal beneficial ownership.
