Styled Walter Fitz Edward and Walter the Sheriff, he was sheriff of Wiltshire under Henry I, although he lost that office for a time during Henry's reign. He was present at the Council of Northampton in September 1131, and was with Stephen at Westminster in Easter 1136, and at Salisbury in Christmas 1139. He founded the Priory of Bradenstoke in Wiltshire in 1139, and was a benefactor to Salisbury Cathedral.
Walter of Salisbury married Sibyl de Chaources [Chaworth], daughter of Patrick Chaources, Seigneur of Sourches, and his wife Maud, daughter of Ernulf [or Arnulph] de Hesdin.
They had three sons, William, Patrick, and Walter, the latter a canon of Bradenstoke, and a daughter, Sibyl, who married, as his second wife, John Fitz Gilbert, alias John the Marshal.
Keats-Rohan in Domesday People (1999), page 186-187, calls him "The richest English tenant-in-chief in Domesday Book".
"His wife, Sybil, predeceased him, he later taking the habit of a canon at Bradenstoke." "They were buried at Bradenstoke Priory in the same grave."
