John of Tours or John de Villula (died 1122) was a medieval Bishop of Wells in England who moved the diocese seat to Bath. He was a native of Tours and was King William I of England's doctor before becoming a bishop. After his consecration as bishop, he was either given or purchased Bath Abbey, a rich monastery, and then moved the headquarters of the diocese from Wells, to the abbey. He rebuilt the church at Bath, building a large cathedral that no longer survives. He gave a large library to his cathedral and received the right to hold a fair in Bath. Not noted for his scholarship, he died suddenly in 1122.

  • Jean de Tours (ou Jean de Villule) (né à Tours avant 1070, mort en 1122), médecin et chapelain de Guillaume le Conquérant, fut nommé évêque de Wells en Angleterre. La Couronne lui ayant octroyé pour sa consécration le riche monastère de Bath, il y établit le nouveau siège de son diocèse. Il fit reconstruire l'église de Bath en une grande cathédrale, aujourd'hui disparue. Il dota la cathédrale d'une grande bibliothèque, et obtint du roi Henri le droit de foire pour sa ville de Bath.
