Walter was a medieval Bishop of Rochester.
He was the brother of Theobald of Bec, who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1138 to 1161. Theobald selected Walter to be Archdeacon of Canterbury soon after Theobald's election, and it was Theobald who secured Walter's election to Rochester.[1]
He was elected on January 27, 1148 and consecrated on March 14, 1148. He died on July 26, 1182.[2]
