John Hind (bishop of Chichester)

John Hind (11th century) was a medieval Bishop of Chichester. Details about his life and episcopate are scarce and based on limited historical records.

Hind succeeded Stigand as Bishop of Chichester sometime between 1070 and 1072, following the Norman Conquest. The precise dates of his consecration and death are uncertain. He likely held the position for a relatively short period.

Historical documentation of his tenure is minimal. He is primarily known through episcopal lists and mentions in charters and other ecclesiastical records related to the Diocese of Chichester. Further details regarding his activities, policies, or significant events during his time as bishop are largely unknown.

He was succeeded by Ralph de Luffa around 1091. The reasons for the lengthy gap between Hind's death (or resignation, if that occurred) and Luffa's appointment are not fully clear from existing historical sources.
