Giles of Bridport was a medieval Bishop of Salisbury.
Life
Giles was archdeacon of Berkshire in the diocese of Salisbury as well as Dean of Wells[1] before he was elected bishop between 13 February and 15 April 1256 and consecrated on 11 March 1257. He died in December 1262, probably on the 13th.[2] He founded De Vaux College in 1262 and he may have been the brother of Simon de Bridport, who was treasurer of the diocese of Salisbury.[1] He is commemorated by a statue in niche 169 on the west front of Salisbury Cathedral.
