John of Tours or John de Villula (died 1122) was a medieval Bishop of Wells in England who moved the diocese seat to Bath. He was a native of Tours and was King William I of England's doctor before becoming a bishop. After his consecration as bishop, he was either given or purchased Bath Abbey, a rich monastery, and then moved the headquarters of the diocese from Wells, to the abbey. He rebuilt the church at Bath, building a large cathedral that no longer survives. He gave a large library to his cathedral and received the right to hold a fair in Bath. Not noted for his scholarship, he died suddenly in 1122. ==Early life== A native of Tours,〔Cantor ''Church, Kingship, and Lay Investiture'' p. 36〕 John was an Angevin-French physician〔Smith "John of Tours" ''Downside Review'' pp. 132–133〕 to King William I of England, being present at the king's deathbed in 1087.〔Barlow ''William Rufus'' p. 45〕 William of Malmesbury, the medieval chronicler, called him "a very skilled doctor, not in theoretical knowledge, but in practice."〔Quoted in Bartlett ''England Under the Norman and Angevin Kings'' p. 589〕 He had been a priest of Tours before becoming doctor to King William.〔Ramsey "Tours, John of" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕 He seems to have learned his medical skills not in a school, but was considered a skilled doctor.〔 The name "de Villula" first appears in 1691, and is not a contemporary name.〔 It resulted from a misreading of John's name in his episcopal profession.〔
