Henry of Lexington (or Henry Lexington; died 1258) was a medieval Bishop of Lincoln.
Life
Henry held the prebend of Calne in the diocese of Salisbury before becoming treasurer of Salisbury by 13 January 1239.[1] By January 1246 he was Dean of Lincoln.[2] His father Richard had been a royal judge. Henry's brother Robert of Lexinton was also a judge, and his brother John was a knight and clerk of the royal household, at various times seneschal, envoy, and keeper of the seals. Another brother was Stephen of Lexington, a Cistercian monk and abbot of Clairvaux abbey.[3]
Henry was elected to the see of Lincoln on either 21 or 30 December 1253 and consecrated on 17 May 1254,[4] at London or possibly at Lambeth.[5]
Henry died on 8 August 1258[4] at Nettleham near Lincoln.[5]
Henry's nephew was Oliver Sutton, the Bishop of Lincoln from 1280 to 1299.[5]
