John Salisbury

John Salisbury, O.Praem (died 1573) was a Welsh clergyman who held high office in the pre- and post-Reformation church in England.

He was the last Abbot of Titchfield, a Premonstratensian house; the abbey was dissolved in December 1537. Under the provisions of the Suffragan Bishops Act 1534, he was appointed and consecrated Bishop of Thetford on 19 March 1536. Three years later, he was also appointed Dean of Norwich on 20 August 1539, but in the reign of Queen Mary I, he was deprived of the deanery in early 1554. After the accession of Queen Elizabeth I, he was restored as Dean in 1559. Whilst bishop, he continued to hold the deanery of Norwich "in commendam".
