Welcome to Langton Medical GroupOUR PATRONBISHOP WALTER de LANGTON Walter de Langton became Bishop of Lichfield in 1296. He was also Lord Treasurer of England and a great favourite of King Edward 1st and used his influence and wealth to benefit the Cathedral City of Lichfield. To benefit the citizens of Lichfield he built the bridge over Minster Pool and is recorded as paying for bread to be distributed to the poor. He spent time here and oversaw much of his work personally. He remembered Lichfield in his will - leaving money for the completion of the Lady Chapel (wishing to be buried there) and his episcopal mitre, staff and vestments, sadly now lost, for the use of his successors in Lichfield in perpetuity. He died in 1321.
