Anthony Skeffington
Anthony Skeffington was an English-born cleric and judge in Ireland.
He was born in Skeffington, Leicestershire. He was a cousin of Sir William Skeffington, who served as Lord Deputy of Ireland in 1529–32 and 1534–5, and he probably came to Ireland in William's retinue. He was appointed Master of the Rolls in Ireland in 1530 and held that office until 1533.
In 1535 he was appointed prebendary of Swords in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. His clerical office was suppressed soon afterwards during the general abolition of Roman Catholic benefices at the Reformation. His date of death is not recorded.
