In 1452 Walton was made Abbot of Osney, and in 1472 was elected as Archbishop of Dublin, and consecrated in England. In 1478 he managed, through the Irish Parliament, to obtain the restitution of some manors alienated by his predecessors. During his tenure Pope Sixtus IV authorized the re-establishment of the unsuccessful University of Dublin, but the plan was never carried out. Walton kept out of politics, and was apparently rather easily bullied. He was overshadowed by his suffragan, the quarrelsome and unpopular William Sherwood, Bishop of Meath.

He was completely unable to control Sir James Keating, the violent and turbulent Prior of the Order of Knights Hospitallers at Kilmainham. When he ...
