Miles Salley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miles Salley was a late 15th century Abbot of Eynsham Abbey and an early 16th century Bishop of Llandaff.
Salley was Abbot of Eynsham in Oxfordshire in the 1490s, during which time he was party to a major quarrel with Sir Robert Hartcourt of Stanton Harcourt which led to violent clashes between the monks and Harcourt's servants. In 1500, he was appointed Bishop of Llandaff, where he is remembered for his building work at the Bishop's Palace in Mathern in Monmouthshire. He died in December 1516 and was buried in St Mark's Church, Bristol in Gloucestershire.
