Burhweald (also Brihtwold[1]) was a medieval Bishop of Cornwall.
Burhweald was consecrated between 1011 and 1012. He died between 1019 and 1027.[2] He was succeeded by his nephew Lyfing by 1027. The earliest recorded reference to a church at Landrake dates from 1018, when King Cnut granted land to Bishop Burhwold, after which it was to pass to St Germans Priory.[3]
