See of Winchester, Lord Bishop of Winchester
Notes / Sources
Corporate continuation inferred from the explicit description of the Adderbury holding as belonging to the bishops or See of Winchester across the medieval period; no individual bishop-by-bishop conveyance list was located.

The Act is evidence for the episcopal corporate interest and leasing power, but it does not identify the bishop by personal name in the catalogue description.
