Leofwine (bishop of Lindsey)

Leofwine was a medieval Bishop of Lindsey.

He was consecrated about 953 and died sometime after.^[1] This was a reconstitution of the see after a break in the succession since the death of Eadberht of Lindsey in the previous century. He combined the see with Dorchester in 956,^[2] and afterwards the combined see is usually known as Bishop of Lindsey.^[1] It appears to have covered Lindsey and Leicester.^[2]
