Geoffrey David Jeremy Walsh (known as Jeremy; born 1929) was the Anglican Bishop of Tewkesbury from 1986 until 1995.
Educated at Felsted School and Pembroke College, Cambridge Walsh studied for ordination at Lincoln Theological College before embarking on curacies in Southgate, London and Cambridge. From 1958 until 1961 he was Staff Secretary of the SCM and from then until 1966 Vicar of St Mary Moorfields, Bristol. There then followed two Rectorships of ten years apiece at, firstly, Marlborough and latterly Ipswich. Appointment to the suffragan bishopric of Tewkesbury in 1986 completed his ecclesiastical career and he retired (to Ipswich) in 1995. He was ordained and consecrated a bishop (thereby taking up his suffragan See) on 29 January 1986, by Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Gloucester Cathedral.
