Godfrey was nominated 25 March 1123, and consecrated 26 August 1123[3] by Archbishop William de Corbeil of Canterbury at St. Paul's London.[1] During the last years of King Henry I's rule, Godfrey was often at the king's court and received a number of charters from the king.[4]
Godfrey died on 16 August 1135[3] and was buried in Bath Abbey near the north altar.[1]
