Hugh of Northwold (died 1254) was a medievalBishop of Ely.

Life

[edit]

Hugh was born in the parish ofNorthwold in Norfolk, the son of Peter and Emma. He became a monk atAbbey of Bury St Edmunds in 1202.^[1]

Hugh was electedAbbot of Bury St. Edmunds on 7 August 1213.^[2] KingJohn of England, however, contested the election until 10 June 1215, when he finally accepted it.^[1]

Hugh was elected to thesee of Ely about 3 February 1229.^[3] He was consecrated on 19 June 1229^[4] atCanterbury.^[1] While bishop, he built extensively, was sent on diplomatic missions for KingHenry III of England, and escortedEleanor of Provence to England for her marriage to King Henry. He was also a good friend ofRobert Grosseteste.^[5] His greatest work as bishop was his increase in the estates of the bishoprics, through buying new lands and increasing the rents on extant manors. He also worked withThorney Abbey on reclamation of the fenlands surrounding Ely.^[1]

The presbytery ofEly Cathedral was built while Hugh was bishop.^[1] This was an example of Early English Gothic, and earned praise from the medieval chroniclerMatthew Paris. However, much of the work done during Northwold's episcopate was later reworked during the 14th century, with the buttresses and some of the exterior and interior walls still remaining.^[6] The presbytery was built in order house a shrine to St.Etheldreda.^[7]

Hugh died on 6 August 1254^[4] atDownham Market and was buried in his presbytery in Ely Cathedral. The tomb is still extant.^[1] He was buried at the feet of the shrine to Etheldreda, but whether he was buried where the tomb now stands is unclear.^[8] The tomb is now located near the high altar in the north choir aisle of Ely Cathedral.^[9]
