Osmund, St (d. 1099), Bp. of Salisbury from 1078. He completed the cathedral at Old Sarum, dedicated in 1091, and constituted a chapter of canons. He has been credited with a document regulating chapter life, which influenced the statutes of several cathedrals in the 13th cent., but the earliest part of this was probably not composed before 1150. The Sarum liturgical use, also attributed to him, is probably not older than Richard Poore. Feast day, 4 Dec.; of his translation, 16 July.
