Wickhampton was a canon of Salisbury before he was Dean of Salisbury by 17 January 1258. He was also a papal chaplain. He had a dispensation for his election to the bishopric due to his illegitimacy.[1] He was elected to the see of Salisbury about 23 February 1271 and consecrated on 13 May 1274. He died on 24 April 1284.[2] Before his death, he became blind, and a coadjutor was appointed to the see on 12 February 1282. He may have been related to an archdeacon of Salisbury, Thomas de Wickhampton.[1]
