Walter d'Eynsham, also known as Walter de Hempsham was a medieval Archbishop of Canterbury-elect.
He was a monk of Christ Church Priory in Canterbury, when he was chosen to be the Archbishop of Canterbury on August 3, 1228 by his fellow monks of the cathedral chapter.[1] His appointment was overruled by King Henry III and Pope Gregory IX on January 5, 1229.[2] He was examined by a group of cardinals on theological matters and declared to have answered badly, thus allowing the pope to declare him ineligible for the office.[3]
