John Waltham (or John de Waltham) was a priest and high-ranking government official in England in the 14th century. He held a number of ecclesiastical and civic positions during the reigns of King Edward III and Richard II, eventually rising to become Lord High Treasurer, Lord Privy Seal of England and Bishop of Salisbury. He is buried in Westminster Abbey, London. ==Early life== It is thought that John de Waltham was born in Waltham, Lincolnshire in 1395〔 (although some sources identify his birthplace as Waltham in Essex – the historian Thomas Fuller wrote in 1655, ''"Amongst the natives of Waltham for statesmen, de Waltham bears away the bell"''.). He was the son of John and Margaret Waltham, whose tomb still exists in the chancel of All Saints' Church in Waltham.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-164414-church-of-all-saints-waltham- )〕 His great uncle was John of Thoresby, Lord Chancellor of England and Archbishop of York. John de Waltham is not to be confused with contemporary relatives of the same name; according to records, there was an elder John Waltham who was the nephew of Thoresby and the uncle of the younger John Waltham. This elder Waltham, who died in 1384, became canon and sub-dean of York. Confusingly, his will refers to his brother, also called John, who is thought to be the father of the younger John Waltham.
