Hugh de Pateshull[a] (died December 1241) was a medieval Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.
Pateshull was the son of Simon of Pattishall (a royal justice) and Simon's wife Amice. A royal clerk and a clerk of the exchequer,[1] Hugh had custody of the Exchequer seal—Pateshull's position was a precursor office to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.[2] He was also a canon of St. Paul's when he was selected to be Lord High Treasurer in 1234, holding that office until 1240.[3]
Pateshull was elected bishop in 1239, and consecrated on 1 July 1240. He died on either 7 December or 8 December 1241[4] at Potterspury and was buried in Lichfield Cathedral.[1]
