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