As You have, Sir, already condeſcended, to inſpect

of this Eſay unavoidably leads me into: Thar ſeeing how
the Neglect of Reſidence and Repairs of Cathedrals, and
the perverting to private and ſelfiſh Uſes the Benefactions
appropriated to the Support of theſe venerable Edifices,
without any Dread of Sacrilege, or Regard to thoſe Sta-
tutes molt ſolemnly ſworn to : I ſay, that ſeeing how theſe
Cauſes have produced the deplorable Effects of Ruin and
Deſtruction of ſome of our Cathedrals ; ail preſent and
future Church Dignitaries may be hereby awakened, and
deterred from either doing, or omitting, what muſt neceſ-
farily be attended with the like Conſequences, and what
they muſt juſtly condemn in their Predeceſſors : And if I
ſeem warm towards ſome of the moſt fagrant Authors
of thoſe Evils, and the Alienators of the Churches Pa-

but what has its Enemics ; it being natural alſo more par-

As to Errors here committed, I

to expect Animadverſions : But if I may be allowed to
ſpeak for my ſelf, I would beg leave to remind ſuch nice
Obſervers, of the great Variety of Things and Perſons, and

THE
PREFACE.
A
M
LUDOLF
T having been already binted in the Dedication what
Diſadvantages attend Undertakings of this Sort, and
fome Excuſes made, pag. 807. and elſewhere, for Errors
which will unavoidably bappen, and the Methods taken
to re&tify them fet forth; nothing more remains for the
Subject of a Preface
than to inform the Reader, how I came to be en-
gaged in drawing up theſe Colle&tions, the Motives that induced me
to make them Publičk, and to acknowledge the Obligations laid on me
by Gentlemen, who allifted me herein.
Soon after the Publication of Mr. Le' Neve's moſt uſeful Faſti Ec-
cleſiæ Anglicanæ, or Hiſtory of the principal Dignitaries in our Cathe-
dral and Collegiate Churches, deduced by him down to the Year 1716.
(I being then Printing in Two Volumes, Series's of the Heads or Go-
vernors of our Religious Houſes) my Curioſity led me, as his Series's
of the ſame Nature in Cathedrals was done to my Hand, to have his
Book interleaved, that I might the better inſert what Additions and
Corrections I could make to His Work; and in this Reſpect I found
I had ſucceeded ſo well, that I had almoſt gleaned up enough for a
Small Volume ; and as I was not wanting in Communicating my Ma-
terials, so I uſed my beſt Endeavours to prevail on Him to oblige the
World with what Improvements could be made in a new Edition or
Supplement, little intending to draw on my ſelf any further Trouble ;
but He altogether declining the Task, and alledging that he could not
meet with the leaſt Encouragement, 1 became ať Length prevailed on,
ſince I had in ſeparate Volumes ſet forth Hiſtories of the Four Welch

Cathedrals, or antient Province of St. DAVID, to attempt ſomewhat
in like Manner for the four Northern Cathedrals, or Province of
YORK; and to that End I uſed my Endeavours to procure Liſts or
Series's of the Prebendaries in every Stall in the Church of York,
(thoſe of Durham and Cheſter having been tranſmitted to me ſoon af-
ter the Coming out of Mr. Le'Neve's Book) and as I found on E1-
quiry, that thoſe of York had been luckily extracted from Records by
Mr. Torr to the Year 1693, I had by the Intereſt of my Friends lit-
tle to do, except paying for Tranſcripts of what he had done, and to
obtain a Continuation of them to the Year 1722. at which Period I
deſigned to terminate this Work, when I firſt reſolved to undertake it,
being ſenſible how impracticable and vain it was to attempt deducing
it lower, on Account of many Alterations that would daily happen,
and that should I not thus fix the Limits, the Series of the Members
of one Church, or Prebendal Stalls muſt differ from another; and
therefore had I been determined otherwiſe, my ſeeking after Infor-
mation would have been endleſs, and my Searches in Offices, and Trou-
bling my Friends unreaſonably tirefome, both to my ſelf and them. But
it to happening, that while I was, purſuing this work, I found my
ſelf called upon to anſwer an unexpected Attack made on me in a moſt
extraordinary Manner, as I have obſerved Pag: sop. by a Dignitary
of the Church of Hereford ; and my Friends defiring,, that for my ozon
Vindication, I would give ſome Account of that. Cathedral, I the ra-
ther ſubmitted to their Requeſt, foraſmuch as Hereford had been re-
puted antiently a Member of the Province of St. David; and the ſame
Reafon determining me about Worceſter, I was on that Account obě
liged to fubjoin Glouceſter and Briſtol, in regard that both thoſe Churches
were till the Year 1541. ſubordinate to Worceſter ; and though the
beſt Part of Briſtol Dioceſe, viz. my native County of Dorſet, was taken
from Salisbury, yet I thought it proper to make no Diſtin&tion, but give
the Whole together, entire'; and as great Part of the new Dioceſe of
Cheſter was at the ſame Time taken out of Lichfeild, as well as
York, I could not; as the preſent worthy Dean had ſupplied me ſome
Years ago with a very particular Account of it; in Gratitude, omit
inſerting it.
Wherefore, having thus formed fo extenſive a Deſign, I was not
wanting, when my Affairs called me to London, and Health and Lei-
ſure permitted, in extracting what I could meet with to my Purpoſe,
to all the publick Offices, particularly the Rolls Chapel, Prerogative
and Firſt-Fruits Offices, Cottonian and Lambeth Libraries ; neither was
Ileſs remifs, as Opportunities ferved, in making Collections from the
Bodleian, Aihmolean and private Libraries, and in applying to ſeveral

Friend's, particularly Biſhop Kennet, Dr. Tanner, Mr. Baker, &c. to
fend me what Informations they could for my Purpoſe.
Home difficult, tedious, and expenſive it was to me to make ſuch
Colle&tions I need not deſcribe, or expatiate how curforily I was ob-
liged to turiz oder Patents, Wills, Compoſitions for Firſt Fruits, &c. to
retrieve the Names of Dignitaries; my Deſign in mentioning it being
chiefly to point out to Gentlemen that engage in Works of this Kind, what
they ought to undergo, and where to ſearch for Materials which can-
110t be gathered at once, but muſt by Degrees be pick'd up, and after
all, great Allowances be made for Imperfections in ſuch Eſſays at firſt,
as may ſufficiently be apprehended by any one, who will by examining
this Account, even in the Churches of York, Lichfield and Hereford,
diſcover that I have there added no lefs than 370 Precentors, Chancellors,
Treaſurers and Archdeacons which are moſtly diſtinguiſh'd by this Aſterisk
Mark *, and are entirely omitted in Le Neve's Fafti ; beſides about
Archdeacons and Prebendaries in the Churches of Durham, Che-
Iter, Worceſter and Glouceſter, that he has made no Mention of, not
to inſiſt on what I have done in other Cathedrals, or my re&tifying nu-
merous Dates of Collations, &c. This I do not inſtance to derogate
in the leaſt from his elaborate Performance, for I muſt acknowledge
that I can my ſelf ſince their Publication, improve in a very great
De-
gree, my own Welch Cathedrals, eſpecially St. David's and Landaff,
having, with many curious Additions, cury'd them down with our
other Cathedrals in general, to the Year 1722 at the ſame Time as
I was copying over this Account; which having for the moſt Part com-
pleated Anno 1723. I committed it the next Year to the Preſs; and
that I had Anno 1724. made fome Progreſs, and printed of fome
Sheets, is ſufficiently known to ſeveral Gentlemen, zoho alſo being ap-
priſed of the Reaſons why it has been ſo long delayed coming out, 1
need not make them more publick bere : For as no Subſcriptions were
ever asked or received, and the Inconvenience wholly attending the All-
thor and Bookſeller, it would be but impertinent to mention its falling
into the Hand's of a dilatory and careleſs Printer, who engaging in
publiſhing other Books to carry on his Buſineſs, may be better excuſed
than his Compoſitors Ignorance in Latin, and Miſtakes in pointing, and
inverting Dates; but as theſe Errors are eaſily diſtinguiſhable, it is
to be boped that candid Readers will, as they are obvious, more rea-
dily correct, than cenſure, or lay them to the Charge of a diſtant Au-
thor, whoſe Pains and Expence in drawing up theſe Collections, and
procuring the Draughts, 'tis to be hoped will attone for Errors, espea
cially if 'tis conſidered that the Account of the Churches and Chapels
in each Dioceſe, is the firſt of its kind attempted in this Manner,

and that here are inchided near 1000 Churches and Chapels omitted
in our former Valors and Accounts of our Biſhopricks; and that there-
fore Sutch Miſtakes as may happen in the Names of above 4000 Places
and 7000 Perſons, may be reaſonably expected, and the Rettifying their
preſumed a Work of Futurity, and ſo no Ways practicable to the
thor at preſent, who can aſſure the Reader, that if he could have
brought it to Perfection, he had formed a Deſign of having Maps en-
graven of every particular Dioceſe, and dividing them into their pro-
per Archdeaconries and Deanaries, and would have therein ſpecified
the reſpective Churches and Chapels, according to the form of their
Structures, with, or without, Spires, or Towers; as Pinnacled, Battle-
mented, Coped, c. according to the Method of the Maps in Plott's
Oxfordſhire and Staffordſhire, Dugdale's Warwickſhire, and as ſeveral
are given in the 20 Mile Maps about the two Univerſities. And this
would doubtleſs have been of great Satisfaction and Curioſity to Biſhops,
Archdeacons, and other Ordinaries, who might in Time have rendered
their Diſtritts compleat : But this I am at preſent under a Neceflity
of recommending to others, as indeed I do the whole Deſign ; and it
would be a Pleaſure to me to ſee what I have done rendered more de-
feEtive than I have shown Le' Neve's Faſti to be, by the numerous Addi-
tions I have made to them ; and I do moſt beartily aſſure ary Perfon
that ſhall attempt it, that I will thank him for it, and readily contri-
bute any Aliſtance in my Pomper on that Account . But this I need not
repeat, so I come to acknowledge my Obligations to Gentlemen, from
whom I received Information in the
ſeveral Churches treated of in this
Work, of which in their Order. To begin with
YORK. Beſides what I colleEted, wherein I have cited
my
rities, I muft ozon that I had ſeveral valuable Materials tranſmitted
me by Mr. Precentor Richardſon, and Dr. Brearey, both Canons of
this Church, and that I lie under Obligations alſo to other Gentlemen
for reviſing and correcting this Account, though it fipped their Obfer-
vation, as it did alſo mine, that I had not fully accounted for the
Archbiſhops Patronages, as I have for thoſe of the Biſhops of other
Dioceſes ; wherefore I beg Leave to obſerve here, that the Archbiſhop
collates to all the Dignities in his Cathedral, except the Deanary, as
alſo to the Prebends of Southwell and Rippon ; and beſides of abort
62 Livings in his Dioceſe here given, he is Patron of Owſton and
Haxey Vicaridges, Co. Lincoln, and of a Lectureſhip at Cheſter
field, Co. Derby: The Chapter of York, beſides about 14 Lirings in
the Dioceſe, and thoſe I have mentioned Pag. 29, preſent to Allerton-

DURHAM, The Lif of the Prebendaries communicated to me by
Dr. Elliſon (deceaſed Anno 1721.) has been improved, and ſeveral
Additions made to it by the Reverend Mr. Rymer Maſter of the Col-
lege School, to whom I am obliged for the Draught and Plan of the
Cathedral, and his Peruſal of the whole Account, which ſome tbe
Prebendaries bace likewiſe been pleaſed to examine and correet, as
has alſo the preſent worthy Archdeacon of Northumberland, Mr. Sharp,
who helped me to ſome Notices of the Burials of the Prebendaries, and
to what Dedications he could of the Churches in his Diſtrict, exhibit-
ed p. 813 & 814. in the Appendix. At
CARLISLE. I am greatly indebted to Mr. Prebendary Dr. Todd, for
the Plan of the Cathedral, and ſeveral valuable Informations ; as I
was alſo honoured with the preſent worthy Biſhop's, and the late
Biſhop Nicholſon's Approbation of my Work. At
CHESTER. I was helped to what Biſhop Gaſtrel could favour me
with, and had what could be imparted for my Purpoſe from Mr. Re-
giſtrar Roberts, and Mr. Prebendary Preſcot; my Couſin Thomas Wil-
lis, and Holland Egerton Eſquires; bit above all
, I muſt acknowledge
the Friendſhip of the Reverend Mr. Stones, one of the minor Canons, to
whom I much lament my not applying at firſt. At
Man. I was infinitely obliged to the truly primitive Biſhop there,
but as I had not the Honour to be known to his Lordship, and on that
Account neglecting the ſending in Time ; my Letters and bis Anſwers
were ſo long in circulating, that I could not receive a thorough Informa-
tion to ſeveral of my Queries early enough; tho'as this is the firſt De-
ſcription given of this Church, I hope it may be accepted: His Lord-
Thip informing me that the Draught is exäftly engraven, except that
the Windows are too wide (which I was apprehenſive of at firſt, and
ſo told the Engraver, tho' I could not perſuade him to alter them, after
the Plate was once out of his Hands) and that the plan is right, is
alſo his Lordſhips Opinion, except that the Pulpit which is oppoſite to
the Biſhop's Throne, is not specified; it is very lately alſo, that I learnt
from his Lordſhip, that no Part of the Body and Croſs Iſle is paved;
and that all the Lords nine Impropriations mentioned p. 817. were
leaſed about 1667, by the Lords of the Iſle to Biſhop Barrow, for the
Benefit of the poor Clergy. At
LICHFIELD. Whatever I have of this Church about the Dignita-
ries, &c. I muſt confefs to have received it almost entirely from the
prefent generous Dean, whoſe Pains in making Extracts from the
Biſhop's and Chapter Regiſters I can never ſufficiently acknowledge,
his Aliſtance being beyond what I have received from any other Gentle-
man;

man: Some valuable Accounts hereof, were alſo ſent me by the Reve-
rend Mr. Prebendary Carte, a moſt knowing Antiquary. At
HEREFORD. Though I took the whole Epitaph Account from the print-
ed Book, (as I did at Worceſter) yet in drawing up the Series of the
Dignitaries, I ſpared for no Pains, as to examining the Biſhops Re-
giſters, and making what Abſtracts I could from the Archives there;
and here I met with extraordinary Favours from the moſt Reverend
Biſhop Ottley, and Dr. Morgan, two of the Canons, Mr. Pyle Regi-
ſtrar, Mr. Trahern Schoolmaſter, ſome of the Prebendaries, Mr. Brome,
&c. zwho peruſed my Account, helped me to what Epitaphs they could,
and examined ſeveral Pariſh Regiſters, I doing thoſe of Ledbury and
Bromyard my ſelf; nor were other Gentlemen lefs follicitous in a lifting
me, in Regard that I had met with an unexpected Adverſary here.
WORCESTER. (In the Account of which, I ſhould have taken No-
tice that in this and the two following Cathedrals, the Gift of the Pre-
bends is in the Crown) I was greatly aliſted by Mr. Archdeacon and
Prebendary Dr. Worth, and the Reverend Mr. Thomas, who with in-
defatigable Labour, extracted many curious Things out of the Church
Regiſters
, enquired after Epitaphs, &c. for me in the Dioceſe, and
inſpected my whole Account of this Church; as did the Reverend Mr.
Furney Archdeacon of Surrey, what I have done of
GLOUCESTER; Who being a Native of that City, and a curious
Searcher into the Antiquities thereof, as well as other Antiquities in
general, very readily alifted me: The ſame likewiſe did Mr. Precen-
tor Gregory, one of the minor Canons, to whom I communicated
what I had drawn up both before and after Printing, which I likewiſe
jewed to Mr. Archdeacon Lye, one of the Prebendaries. At
BRISTOL. I am bound to acknowledge that the Draughts were
kindly taken for me by the ingenious Mr. Ford Prebendary of Wells,
and that I am much indebted to the Reverend Mr. Precentor Rogers,
in helping me to take the Epitaphs ; as alſo to Dr. Harcourt one of the
Prebendaries, for Acceſs to the Chapter-Books, and his Examination
of this Account, which his Lordſhip the preſent Biſhop, (from whom
I have received many Favours,) condeſcended alſo to oblige me in.
Having now thus briefly gone through fome Account of theſe Churches
bere treated of in general, it may be expected I Mould ſay ſome-what
about the Draughts: How well theſe are performed, muſt be left to others
Judgments. The Plans of York, Carliſle, Durham and Cheſter, (com-
mitted near five years ago to Mr. Burghers now deceaſed, who had
been abosit fifty Years Engraver to the Univerſity of Oxford) being done

with more Exa&tneſs, after the form of the Churches, than Nicety of
Work, in my Opinion; when I had got clear of him, to make fome A-
mends, I gave the Uprights of them to Mr. Harris of London, a more
able Workman: And theſe I cannot ſay but he has well performed, ac-
cording to my Judgment, as he has alſo Lichfield and Worceſter, (ex-
cept the Arms in Lichfield) tho' I cannot ſo well approve of his Up-
rights of Hereford, Glouceſter and Briſtol, the firſt of theſe being but
meanly engraven; and the Pinnacle-zvork in Glouceſter Tower, not ſuf-
ficiently expreſive of the Beauty and Tenderneſs of the Original; and
the laſt being not put in good Perſpective; however as there are Plans
to explain all
, the Architecture will be ſufficiently underſtood, and
theſe Draughts being done in a more exašt Manner than any of the
common Prints, which they will be found in ſeveral reſpects to differ
from, and to excel; I hope I may be allowed to have diſcharged my
Part in making them ſo perfet as they appear; for had it been practi-
cable for me to have attended Draughts-Men and Engravers, and to
have governed them, I jould have endeavoured to adapt the Ichno-
graphy and Uprights to the fame Scale, as is aimed at in Worceſter,
Briſtol and Man.
I ſhall conclude all, before I diſmiſs this Subject, in giving fome. Ac-
count of the Method I took in collecting theſe Materials, and plead the
Occaſion for my not oftner citing Authorities, by ſerving from whence. I
collected for the moſt Part what I have not produced Vouchers for.
Where my Correſpondents did not throughly ſatisfy me in the Infor-
mations ſent from the reſpective Churches here deſcribed ; of the Extent
and Diviſion of the Dioceſe, of the Members of Cathedrals, the Series
of the Incumbents in each Stall, Names of Churches and Chapels, of
their Dedications, Patrons of Livings, &c. I laboured to ſupply their
Defe&ts elſewhere, eſpecially in the Lifts of Dignitaries, from the Firſt-
Fruits Office and old Wills; and the Account of Builders of Cathedrals,
Lives of Biſhops, &c. may be fo entirely traced from printed Authors,
as Godwin, Speed, Wood, Wharton, Heylin, Fuller, Strype, Collier,
Newcourt, óc. that on due Examination, it will be found I have ad-
ded little or nothing of my own: In compiling the Series of Deans,
Precentors, Chancellors, Treaſurers, Archdeacons and Prebenda-
ries, Recourſe has been had to the Biſhops and Chapter Regiſters,
and where they have been defe&tive, as I have before hinted, I have la-
boured to fill up the Succeſſions from the Patents, Compoſitions for Firſt
Fruits, as I did their Deaths, &c. Burials, &c. from old Wills
and Pariſh Regiſters, where ſeveral were beneficed: The Endowments
of Bispricks, Anno 1534, was extracted from the Firſt-Fruits Of-
fice, and the Sales of their Lands in the Rebellion Years, from a MS.

been alledged to me that the Inſertion of Epitaphs was needleſs, and homo
ſo many loft Inſcriptions as I have (one Hundred at leaſt out of about fix
Hundred) bere given, prevailed on me to colle&t all I could, and occaſion-

my Friends, who can in theſe Dioceſes teſtify my repeated Endeavours
to make this Account as compleat as poſſible in all its Branches : And
this may in ſome reſpe&t be judged from the Review at the End, where
what has eſcaped their Obſervations and mine, I hope will be overlook-

as to Miſtakes of Patrons, if there are ſome few, I muſt defire Al-

moſt earneſtly invite and entreat all Gentlemen, to tranſmit me what
Improvements and Corrections they can, and hereby fignify my Willing-
nefs in any future Publication, to rectify any wrong Account or Informa-
tion, I doubt not but they will be as ready to overlook Errors, as I am
to own them; who have no greater Ambition than to attempt Diſcove-
ries of forgotten Antiquities, and retrieve the Memory of old Monuments
which have decayed, and are in a good Meaſure vaniſhed away.

Co. Northumberland, being Hexam Peculiar Juriſdi&ion,
viz. Hexam cum Whitby Capella, St. John's-Lees, cum
Bing field & St. Oſwald Capellis, Allerdale cum Nine-
banks Capella, & Tockerington. In this Diſtrict are re-
puted, as our Accounts tell us, 581 Pariſhes, of which 336 are Impro-
priations ; though, including Chapels and Donatives, here are about 903,
Theſe are all, except Hexam Peculiar, and Rippon, and Southwell
Juriſdictions, which are under the Archbiſhop's immediate Juriſdiction,
divided under theſe four Archdeaconries :
1. York, alias WEST-RIDING, which has theſe Deanaries,
Ainfty cum York City, Doncaſter, Craven, Pontfract.
2. EAST-RIDING, which has theſe, Bucroſs, Dickering, Harthill
(cum Deverley, and Howden Peculiars) and Holderneſs.
3. CLEVELAND, which has Bulmere, Cleveland (cum North-Allerton
Peculiar) and Ridalt.
(All the Pariſhes in theſe three Archdeaconries lie Co. York.)
4. NOTTINGHAM, which has thefe Deanaries, viz. Bingham, Not-
tingham, Newark, Retford, (Southwell,) Peculiar, all Go. Nottingham.

2 CATHEDRAL of YORK.
The Clergy's Tenths amount to 1113 I. 17 s. 9 d. in this great Dio-
ceſe, which is the moſt ancient Metropolitical See in England, being, as
fome Authors tell us, made fo in the Time of the Britains : And that
it had greater Extent and Juriſdiction than Canterbury, till within leſs
than an hundred Years before the Reformation, appears from our Hiſto
ries: For though the Archbiſhop of Canterbury was ſtyled Metropolitan
of all England; yet, as the Archbiſhop of York was Metropolitan of all
Scotland, and allowed in his Style to be called Metropolitan of England,
he had certainly the largeſt Province before 1466, at which time Scot.
land was feparated from his Juriſdiction, which is now contracted to con-
tain only the Suffragan Sees of Durham, Carliſle, and Cheſter ; having
but three Biſhopricks left it at preſent, beſides the Biſhoprick of the Iſle
of Man, of which Godwin takes no Notice, it being but of ſmall
Compaſs, containing only ſeventeen Pariſhes.
CATHEDRAL of YORK.
HA
AS a Dean, Precentor, Chancellor, Sub-dean, four Archdea-
cons, (viz. of York, Eaſt-Riding, Cleveland and Nottingham)
twenty-eight Prebendaries, a Sub-chantor, five Vicars Choral in Prieſts
Orders (one of which is ſtyled Succentor of the Vicars) feven Lay
Clerks or Singing Men, fix Choriſters, four Vergers, who take care of
all the Offices of the Church, as Ringing the Bells, Sweeping of it, &c.
The Number of Reſidentiaries are four, beſides the Dean ; which
four are elected out of the Dignitaries and Prebendaries, who, as they
have leaſed out their Prebendal Houſes, are all of them (except the
Dean) obliged, when they are elected Reſidentiaries, to hire Houſes to
inhabit in, to perform their reſpective Reſidences.
In the Lord Hatton's Library is a moſt curious Manuſcript, contain-
ing Draughts of all the Arms and Monuments in this Cathedral, remain-
ing Anno 1641. A Copy of this, very neatly drawn, is in the eralds-
Office, or College of Arms, in London. And alſo among Mir. Dodf-
worth's Manuſcripts, in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, are ſeveral
Collections relating to this Cathedral, which for Magnificence of Struc-
ture, juſtly challenges the Pre-eminence of all in England. It has no
Cloiſters, as may be ſeen by the Ichnography here given, wherein as
the Altitude of the Towers, Lantern, and other Parts of the Building
being expreſſed, I need not repeat it here: Though I ſhall obferve in
general, that it is 497 Foot in Length from Eaſt to Weſt, and 280 Foot
from North to South; and that the Length of the Choir is 136 Foot,
and Breadth of the Body and Side-Illes 102 Foot; the Height of the
middle

middle or Lantern-Tower is 234 Foot, and of thoſe at the Weſt-End
196 Foot; in the Southern one of which hangs a Peal of twelve Bells,
the only one of that Number in England, except one very lately caſt by
by Mr. Rudhall, at Glouceſter, Bell-Founder, put up in St. Bride's
Church, London.
In the Monaſticon Anglicanum, Vol. III. Pag. 128, are Draughts
of this Church by Hollar, given us by Sir William Dugdaler who has
exhibited a curious Collection of its Charters, Statutes, and an Inven-
tory of all the Ornaments and Jewels belonging to it. In the Decem
Scriptores, printed at London Ann. 1652, and in Anglia Sacra, are
Accounts of the Lives of ſeveral of the Archbiſhops : From whence,
and other printed Books, as well as the aforeſaid Manuſcripts, may be
had good Materials for an Hiſtory of this Church, which, 'tis to be
hoped, the World will be obliged with, by my worthy Friend Mr. Sa-
muel Gale, as is noted in the ſecond Volume of Abbies, where is pub-
liſhed ſome Account of this Church, and the Tombs in it.
Beſides the above-mentioned Draughts in the Monaſticon, and what
Daniel King has likewiſe given us, there are ſeveral other Draughts
and Proſpects of it by different Hands; the moſt accurate of which is
done by Mr. Francis Place : And indeed every thing of this Church
ſo very magnificent, that it deſerves a particular Repreſentation; for
Words cannot expreſs the Beauty and Elegance of the Architecture of
each Part.
In the aforeſaid quoted Manuſcripts are Draughts of 273 Coats of
Arms; as there is alſo a Draught of the great Window on the South-
fide, and Delineations of theſe following Monuments, (as I noted) from
thence repreſented to the Life, viz.
1. Archbiſhop SAVAGE's Effigies, lying on an Altar-Tomb.
2. A Man in Armour; his Effigies in white Marble, on the South-
ſide the Choir.
3. Effigies of a Canon ſeemingly, in Free-ſtone, on the South-ſide
the Choir.
4. Tomb of Dr. Swinborn; the Effigies repreſented kneeling, and
praying at a Desk. He died after 1620. See his Epitaph in Anth.
Wood's Athena.
5. A Compartment fixed to the Wall, in Memory of Lionel Ingram.
6. A Compartment of Sir William Ingram, Kt. Obiit 1623.

The Scite of ſeveral of theſe Tombs may be ſeen in the Ichnography,
as may alſo ſeveral other very fine Tombs, erected ſince the great Rebel-
lion, in which, through the Care of the Lord Fairfax, this Church
happened to be very well preſerved, though ſeveral of the Braſſes were
pillaged, which I ſhall endeavour to recover as well as I can, by inſer-
ting here all the Epitaphs (except of the Dignitaries, which ſee in their
proper Places) that I have been able to meet with before 1600.

The Body of Ranulph Hurlſton, Eſq; one of the Honourable Council
of the North Parts, lyeth here in hope of joyful Refurre&tion,
who, adorned with great Gifts of Learning, Gravity, Wiſdom,
joined with rare Godlyneſs, was always careful of advancing the
Tincere Doctrine of Chriſt, and of that Equity which every where
ought to be obſerved, never ceaſing bis faithful Labours to profit the
Church and Commonwealth, until it pleaſed our gratious God merci-
fully in a very Short Moments without any or the leaſt Dolour of
Death, to end all the Labour of bis faithful Servant, and to tranſ-
late his Soul into his eternal Reſt, 13. April Anno Chrifti Incarna-
tionis 1587.
All the Days of bis Perigrination were 62 Years, for whoſe godly Life
the anointed Saviour be bleſed for ever, Amen.
Which Inſcriptions in Number above 100, beſides thoſe of Archbiſhops,
Deans, Precentors, Chancellors, Treaſurers, Subdeans, Archdeacons and
Prebendaries given in the following Hiſtory of them, are all I'find before
1600. And the greateſt part of theſe are as appears now periſhed, as are
abundance of other Stones robbed of their Braffes, óc. even before this
Account taken Anno 1641. Many of theſe defaced Stones were, ase is fiip-
poſed, laid over Chantry-Prieſts and Chaplains at Altars, which were very
fiumerous in this Cathedral, as may be ſeen in Capt. Stevens's Monafticon,
Vol. II. Where is, from Mr. Dodſworth's MSS. a very good Account
of the Chantries, &c. in this Cathedral, printed, and ſome Account of
the Dioceſe, to which I beg leave to refer. s üblot b TGIE
Having done with the Monumental Part, I come to give ſome Deſcri-
ption of this Church and the Time of its Building. On obil os no
Archbiſhop Thomas began temp. Will. Rufi a new Foundation of
this Church, which being decayed with Fire, Archbiſhop Roger built a
new Choir, and made the Vaults, the Archbiſhop's Palace and St. Sepul-
chre's Chapel on the North-fide. Archbiſhop Fohn Romane temp. Edw.I.
built
16
24.1
CATHÉDRAL 16
of YORK,
built the North Croſs Tranſept. and a goodly Steeple in the middle ;
which Work he had in ſome meaſure begun while he was Chanter.
Archbiſhop Melton temp. Edw. II. at the Expence of 700 Marks, fi-
niſhed the Weſt-part of the Body of the Church. Archbiſhop Zouch
temp. Edw. III. begun a new Chapel on the South-ſide of the Church.
Archbiſhop Thornesby temp. Edw. III. on July 20. 1361. began to
build anew the Choir, and beſtowed much Coſt in beautifying the La-
dy's Chapel with Images and Painting, in which he expended 1700 l. of
his own Money, Robert De Percy gave the Stone, and Robert De
Vacalour gave the Timber towards finiſhing the Cathedral, as may be
ſeen in their Charters printed in the Monaſticon. The South Tranſept.
was the Work of Archbiſhop Geffry Plantagenet, and his Succeſſor
Archbiſhop Walter Grey.
This Work was 151 Years in Building, the laſt Hand to it being put
by Walter Skirlaw, Archdeacon of Eaſt-Riding and Prebendary of
Fenton, before his Promotion to the Sees of Lichfield, Wells and Dur-
ham; who, thinking Archbiſhop Romane's Lantern, or middle Steeple,
too low, pulled part of it down, and made a new one as it now conti-
nues. The Roof of this Lantern is adorned with Knots, gilt and car-
ved, as is the Roof of the Nave of the Church, in imitation of arched
Work: The whole Canopy being adorned with large Knots, carved
Between the two Weſt Towers is a ſpacious Window of painted
Glaſs, adorned with the Effigies of Biſhops, and other hiſtorical Nar-
rations.
There are eight Arches in the Nave, and about every one are Coats of
,
Arms cut in Stone, as well as painted in ſeveral of the Windows.
In the Nave and ſide Hes, in ſome of the Knots in the Roof, are
Carvings of the Salutation, Nativity and Epiphany, repreſenting the
Wiſe-Men making their Offerings, with other Sculptures of our Saviour
and his Apoſtles, the Angels adoring him, the Deſcent of the Holy
Ghoſt and Aſſumption of the Bleſſed Virgin.
As the Peircys and Vavalours gave the Timber and Stone, ſo the
Builder of this Part, Archbiſhop William De Melton, fet their Effigies
in Stone on each fide the Arch over the great Weft-Door ; where Vava-
Sour is repreſented holding a Stone, as Peircy is holding a Piece of Tim-
ber. Their Effigies are alfo at the Eaſt-end in Armour.
On each ſide the Choir are two moſt magnificent Windows, reaching
almoſt the Height of the middle Ife, being divided into 108 Partitions,
each Partition repreſenting a ſacred Piece of Hiſtory.
spordium But
and gilt.
CATHEDRAL of YORK. 17
But the moſt celebrate Piece of Building is the Chapter-Houſe, which
ſtands on the North-ſide of the Church. Tis octangular, containing 21
Yards Diameter, raiſed by many Pillars, and finiſhed by an Arch or
Concave on the top, having no Column at all to ſupport it in the mid-
dle: And indeed 'tis fo curious a Piece of Architecture, that it juſtly de-
ferves the Character written on the Roof in golden Letters, Ut roſa
flos florum fic eſt domus ifta domorum. The Workmanſhip of the Win-
dows throughout the whole Church is admirable, and the Panes of Glaſs
exquiſitely well painted, eſpecially the great Eaſt-window, where is
given the Hiſtory of the Bible. This was glaz'd anno
glaz'd Anno 1405. by the
Dean and Chapter, who then contracted with John Thornton of Coven-
try, Glazier, who was to receive for his own Work 4 s. per Week, and
obliged to finiſh it in leſs than three Years.
There are in divers Parts of the Church ſeveral Paintings and Carv-
ings of Angels, Saints and Biſhops.
In the Inſide of the Chapter-Houfe ſtood the Image of our Saviour and
his Twelve Apoſtles of Silver, as 'tis faid. num. 10.00
About the Sides of the Dome are Seats for the Dignitaries and Preben-
daries arched over. Theſe Seats are ſupported by ſmall Marble-Pil-
lars, to every Seat is a Walk, or Gallery, that goes round the Chapter-
Houſe.
There is here a Tradition, which is univerſally credited, that, under
pretence of this being an uſeleſs Building, a certain Perſon obtained it,
in order to pull it down, in the Great Rebellion, and had provided to be-
gin demoliſhing it, but was taken away ſuddenly by Death, a Week be-
fore he thought to begin executing his baſe Purpoſe. And that this
Church eſcaped fo well was, as is obſerved, owing to the Parliament-
General, Sir Thomas Fairfax, who forbid the Soldiers to lay hands on
any thing in the Church; though notwithſtanding this they defaced fe-
veral Images, and ſtole the Brafles from abundance of Grave-Stones.

In a Book, intitled The Antiquities of York-City, printed An. 1719.
at York, is fome Account of this Cathedral; as in a Book, intitled The
Hiſtoriographer, printed at London An. 1720. there is an Account of
Ulphus's Horn, which with other printed things I ſhall forbear to
make mention of here : And ſo I come to give an Account of the En-
dowment of this See in like manner as other Cathedrals.

But this was nothing in compariſon of what his Suicceffor, Archbiſhop
Robert Holgate, did, who within a Month after his. Tranſlation from
Landaff to this See, Feb. 6. 36. Hen. VIII. Anno 1545. granted away
almoſt all the antient Eſtates of the Archbiſhoprick, namely,
Sbirborne cum Leverton, Bonvill, Hadleſton, Fenton, Brotherton, Berk-

All theſe fifty four Co. York were thus given away by Archbiſhop
Holgate, who likewiſe parted with
Co. NOTTINGHAM, Scroby, Ravenskeld, Laneham, Askham, Sutton,
Northſoke ; and
Co. NORTHUMBERLAND, Hexam, Erington, Walley, Acome, Halliden,
Kepwick, Ereceridge, Kenley, Eſtallvent, Kadden, Ninbank, Weftal-
lan, Newlands : And laſtly,
Go. GLOUCESTER, the Barony of Churchdown, with the Manors, &c.
of Churchdown, Huckylcott, Norton, Shurdington, Wydcomb, Cerney,
Compton, Odington.
In all ſixty ſeven Eſtates and Manors paſſed away by him, as may be
ſeen in our Statute-Books, Anno 37. Hen. VIII. wherein is printed an A&
to empower him to alienate Hexam and Hexamſhire.
However I find King Edw. Vi. Anno Reg. 7. May 27. 1553. re-
granted back Scroby Manor to the See of York,, after the Deceaſe of the
ſaid Robert Holgate, Archbiſhop of York, and Barbara his Wife.
In lieu of thoſe antient Demeſnes, which amount to 1200 l. per Ann.
Holgate had thirty three impropriate Livings by way of Exchange from
Hen. VIII. viz. Doncaſter, Ruiſton, Felkirk, Darington, Neither-po-
pleton, Feliskirk, Sutton, Sherrif-hutton, Braferton Myton, Crawn,
Thirkleby, Marton, Stainton, Ormesby, Lithe, Agnes-burton, Wiftow,
Elingtoni, Kayingham, Nafferton, Gisburgh, Whitby, Skelton, Kirkle-
vington, Garüm, Malton, Kilborne, Hutton on Derwent, Thirke, Mar-
ton in Galtres, all Co. Pork, and Haxey and Ozeſton Co. Lincoln.
This See being thus pillaged and garbled in Hen. VIII's Reigni, King
Edw. VI. had no room to plunder, nor was here any Alienation extort-
ed in Queen Elizabeth's Reign ; but what Injury was done the See in
her Reign, was by fome of the Archbiſhops themſelves, to provide for
their Families.
For, beſides what Archbiſhop Tbomas Young did, in demoliſhing the
Palaces of York, we are informed by Dr. Thoroton, in his Hiſtory of
Nottinghamſhire, pag. 479, 480. that Archbiſhop Sandys, demiſing his
Palace and Manor of Scroby to his Son Sir Samuel Sandys, together with
the Park and Northſoke with many Towns thereabouts, he or his Family
cauſed the ſaid Palace to be pulled down.

In Ma Torr's Collections, made about 1693. we are likewiſe inform-
ed, that in this Reign Achbiſhop Hutton leaſed away ſeveral Eſtates,
which are yet in his Great-Grandſon's Hands.
What Archbiſhop Matthews did in King James the Firſt's Reign,
which was by Act of Parliament, about parting with York-Place, we
ſhall fhew hereafter. It was in this Prince's Time that Biſhops were re-
ftrained from making any, Alienations, elſe our Sees might have been re-
duced to as low à Value as parochial Livingston
In the Reign of Queen Mary, whoſe Memory has been much tra-
duced by the Purit ans and diſaffected Perfons to Biſhops, there were
abundance of Manors reſtored back to this Church ; infomuch as it
may be ſaid to have
been endowed with all its beſt Eſtates by her : For
The gave Biſhop Heath Suffolk-Place in Southwark, which came to the
Crown by the Attainder of the Duke of Suffolk, which, on account of
its Remoteneſs, was exchanged for Norwich-Houſe in the Strand, after-
wards called York-Houſe ; which continued the Parliamentary Houſe of
this Biſhoprick, till King James, to gratify the Duke of Buckingham,
got it exchanged for ſome Lands in the North of England. She in
conſideration, as the Patents expreſs it, that there was in the Crown
I 200 l. per Annum Eſtate of this See) Anno Reg. 3. regranted Feb. 20.
the Manors and Parks of Hexgrave and Norwood, Scroby Lordſhip and
Manor, Laneham, Askham, Sutton, Northſoke and Southwell cum per-
tinenti ; and alſo Rippon: Which Benefactions, as Mr. Torr
. obferves,
amount to near half the preſent Income.
Beſides thefe Revenues, beſtowed by Queen Mary, there remains.
very little of the antient Endowments of this See, except the ſmall
.
Manor of Biſhops-Thorp, and ſome Demefnes adjacent to it in York,
worth about 40 l. per Annum ; and the Manors of Ottly, Cawood, Wi-
ftowe, and ſome Lands in Shirborne Co. York, and in Batterſea and
Wandſworth Co. Surry.
All the other Eſtates have accrued by forced Exchanges, chiefly in the
Reign of Henry VIII. who, on taking away the antient Demeſnes from
Archbiſhop Holgate, gave him in licu thereof thirty three Impropria-
tions, the diſſolved Priory of Marten, with the Demefnes of Kilbourne
and Sutton, and Farms in Thorp, Wildon, Oſgodsby, Baſſez and Ma-
derby, all Parcels of Biland diſſolved Abbey.
The Lands given by King James L. Anno 1622. in lieu of York-
Place in the Strand, London, were the Manor of Beckham, which be-
longed to the Earl of Richmond, the Manor of Accomb, Parcel of the
diffolved Treaſurerſhip of Tork, with the Manors of Santon and
Brighton.

What this See is now poſſeſſed of will be beſt ſeen by the following
Account of the Sale of the Lands in the Great Rebellion ; though I can-
not but here obſerve that King Henry VIII. by granting theſe thirty
three Impropriations, enlarged the Patronage of this See ; for it had
otherwiſe, beſides the Dignities in York, Southwell, Rippon and Beverly
Collegiate Churches, only theſe Rectories, viz. Bolton-peircy, Whel-
drake, Berwick in Elmet, Carleton in Lindrick: This Church left out
Nun-burnholm, Trinity and St. Edward's in York City; and the Vica-
ridges of St. Faith's, Birſtall, Silkſton, Matterſey, Bradeſworth, Kä
nalton, Whenby, skipſea, Kynalton, and St. Mary's Beverly : Where-
as it has now by the Donation of King Henry VIII. about thirty
other Livings in the Dioceſe; which fee in the Account of it; and
the Advowſons of the Vicaridges of Ozfton and Haxby Co. Lincoln.
The Reaſon why this See was ſo ſtripped of its Patronages was,
that the Archbiſhops had, on founding Prebends in the Churches of
York, Southwell, Rippon, Beverly, &c. appropriated the Rectories of
their own Churches to ſupport the ſeveral Prebends; by which means
the Archbiſhops own Churches came to the Crown at the general Diflo-
lution of Monaſteries, and ſo ſome of them reverted back again to him.

HE Lands belonging to the College of Vicars Choral, founded about
the Year 1252. by Archbiſhop Walter Grey, were valued, 26. Hen.
VIII. Anno 1534. at 1361. 55. 3 d. for which they now pay for yearly
Tenths 131. 12 s. 6 d. tho they are now augmented to 2541. 105. 8 d.
Theſe Eſtates ariſe from Rents of Houſes and Lands in York City, Pen-
fons from the thirty five Prebends and Impropriations of Kirkby-Irelith
and Pidey-Burton Rectories, and other Stipends paid them by the
Chapter : But beſides theſe, they enjoy in their own Right the impro-
priated Rectories and Advowſons of Ferry-Frieſton, and Huntington cum
Eerſwick in York County and Dioceſe, and Nether-Wallop in Hamp-
Mire in Wincheſter Dioceſe. But out of this theſe Vicars are obliged to
pay about 60l. per Annum to the Singing-Men, and to take care of read-
ing Prayers in the Cathedral at ſix a-clock in the Morning, though-for
this latter Service the Chapter and Prebendaries pay them about 20 l.
per Annum.
Before the Reformation here were beſides the Vicars Choral ſeveral
Chantry-Prieſts, attending the Cathedral Service. Theſe Chantries
were above forty: But an Account of them and their Endowment being
already printed, in Stevens's Monafticon, and of St. Sepulchre's Chapel,
founded within the Precincts of this Church, I ſhall thither refer. The

ſaid to have been made an Archbiſhop's See, on the firſt
Admittance of the Goſpel, by King Lucius, but the Names of
all the Archbiſhops, as Heylin fays, are loſt except theſe four,
SAMPSON, eſtabliſhed by King Lucius Anno 180. Matthewe of
Weſtminſter mentions his flouriſhing in England, and being Archbithop
here about the Year 507.
TAURINUS is the next mentioned, and after hiin sen
PIR ANNUS, Capellamus Regis Arthuri, wås, as Matthew of Weft-
minſter informs us, pag. 187. of his Hiſtory, made Archbiſhop Anno 522..
The fourth Archbiſhop in the Time of the Britains was, according to
my aforeſaid Author,
THADIACUS. He places his coming in Anno 586. but does not tell
us any thing farther of him.
On the Converſion of the Saxons, St. Gregory the Great appointed

Parts ſhould be converted, and when Auguſtine ſhould, according to his
Orders, ſend a Biſhop : But Auguſtine, being fixed at Canterbury, got
the Metropolical Dignity eſtabliſhed there; and nothing was done at
York till the Year 623. when Ethelburga, Siſter to Eanbald King of
Kent, who was a Chriſtian Lady, being married to Edwin King of
Northumberland, taking Paulinus to attend her, he the ſaid

full of Troubles, he left this Country, and, returning back to Kent, ac-

and was buried there. After his Departure this See remained vacant
above thirty Years, till fuch time as

ARCHBISHOPs of YORK.
CEDDA accepted it An. 663. and held it three Years, though all
that 'Time it was the Right of Wilfrid, who had been nominated to it,
which he being admoniſhed of, by Archbiſhop Theodore of Canterbury,
preſently forſook it ; and became afterwards Biſhop of Lichfield, where
he died March 2. An. 672. and was buried in that Cathedral, ſince de-
dicated to him.
WILFRID, who is placed the third Archbiſhop here in Godwin, and
ſhould have come in before Cedda, became, as Godwin tells us, actually
Archbiſhop here An. 666. He afterwards forſook this See on ſome Dil-
fenfion, and ſettled at Selley Co. Suſſex, becoming firſt Biſhop there An.
680. and continued five Years abſent from theſe Parts. On his abſenting
himſelf, Boſa was appointed by Archbiſhop Theodore An. 677. to take
care of this See, who had diſobliged Wilfrid by dividing his Dioceſe in-
to more Biſhopricks : Infomuch that when he, viz. Wilfrid, returned
back again, he was ſcarce able to get his Biſhoprick reſtored, and was
forced to content himſelf with Hagulſtad or Hexam, and live up and
down in Monaſteries, particularly at Rippon, where he departed this
Life O&t. 12. An. 711. aged ſeventy fix, and was buried with this Epi-
taph to his Memory.
Wilfridus hic magnus requieſcit corpore præſul,
Hanc domino qui aulam, ductus pietatis amore

Cui claves cæli Chriſtus dedit arbiter orbis;
Atque auro tirio devotus veſtiit oſtro.
Quin etiam ſublime crucis radiante metallo

Ac thecam e titulo bis condignam condidit auro:

Quem ſtatuêre patres, dubioque errore remoto,
Certa ſua genti oftendit moderamina ritus,
Inque locis iftis monachorum examina crebra

Jactatus nimium per tempora longa periclis,
Quin decies ternos poftquam egit Epiſcopus annos,

However his Bones reſted not at Rippon, as Godwin tells, they being
'An. 940. removed by Odo, Archbiſhop of Canterbury, to his Church,
on account of Rippon being fallen down. As to
Bosa, all I ſhall here obſerve of him, is, that he is faid, according
to Leland, to have governed this See ten Years, and to die poſſeſſed of
it An. 687. and to lie buried in his own Church at York.
John, called afterwards Saint John of Beverley, ſucceeded An.
687, on the Death of Boſa. He died May 7. An. 721. and was buried
in the Porch at Beverley Church, where was a ſumptuous Collegiate
Church built and dedicated to his Memory, and in honour of him en-
dowed with many Privileges. Growing old and infirm, after having
governed this See above thirty Years, he reſigned it with the Confent of
his Clergy about four Years before his Death, which happened at Bever-
ley, the Place of his Nativity, to
WILFRIDE, his Chaplain, who, as Iſaackſon ſays, came in An. 718.
and died An. 731. Though other Accounts place his coming in An. 72 1.
and Death An. 736.
EGBERT, Brother to King Eadbert, fucceeded 731. or. 736. as
fome Accounts fay. He died Nov. 19. An. 766. and was buried in the
Porch of his own Cathedral at York, near the King his Brother. Of
his procuring the Reſtitution of the Archiepiſcopal Pall to his Church,
which had been diſcontinued ever ſince Paulinus's Time, ſee what is ſaid
in the Decem Scriptores, and other Authors; and alſo what Wharton
and Sir James Ware mention of him, and Spelman in his Book of Coun--
cils and Synodical Conſtitutions.
ALBERT, alias Cæna, ſucceeded him, being conſecrated April 24.
767. He received his Pall from Pope Adrian I. and fate near fourteen
Years, and died at Cheſter An. 871.
EAN BÁLD I. fucceeded him, being confecrated Archbiſhop An. 780.
as ſuppoſed before Cana's Death, who took him for a Coadjutor, or re-
ſigned to him. He died An. 796. in a Monaſtery, called Arlete, and was
buried in his own Cathedral, His Succeſſor was
EAN BALD II. confecrated Nov. 19. 797. He is commended for a
Man of great Learning by divers Authors; though when he died is not
mentioned : However it is certain, that
Wulsius ſucceeded him. Iſaackſon makes his coming in An. 81 2.

were
LEODEWARD, as
called; and of fo little Value was this Archbiſhoprick, by reafon of the
Hayock the Danes made, that it was often in theſe Times augmented
with the Commendam of Worceſter. He died An. 895. as in fome Au-
thors, or rather An. 900. as in others : And was ſucceeded by
ETHELBALD An. 900. or '895. whoſe Succeſſor was
fucceeded by
WULSTANI. He obtained to this See Beverley, Rippon, Biſhops-
Wilton, Ottley, Cawood and the Barony of Shirborne. He died Dec.
26. An. 955. and was buried at Oundle Co. Northamptou.
OSKITELL ſucceeded An. 955. and died 971. having procured to
his See the Manor of Southwell. The next was
ATHELWOLD, confecrated An. 971. who was quickly weary of it,
and religned it the ſame Year to
OSWALD, Biſhop of Worceſter, who held both Sees, continuing
Archbiſhop here twenty one Years, viz. from 971. to the Time of his
Death, which happened Feb. 27, 992, at Worceſter. where he was buried
in that Church which himſelf had built, and where many
Miracles
reported to be done at his Tomb, in that fruitful Age of Saints. His
Succeflor in both Sees was
Ad Uif, Abbot of Peterborongh, confecrated 992. or 993; He died
May 6. 1002, and was buried in Worceſter Cathedral ; and ſucceeded
likewiſe in both Sees by
WULstan II. An. 1002. He died May 28. 1023. and was buried
in Ely Abbey, where is yet a painted Pi&ure of him, againſt the Wall
in the North Tranſept. of the Choir, under the Lantern.
ALFRICUS PUTTOC ſucceeded in the See of York only, An. 1023.
He died at Southwell, and was buried in Peterborough Abbey An. 1050.
And was ſucceeded by
KINsius, or KINSINE, An. 1051. He was a Man of great
Auſterity, and would walk barefoot to viſit his Dioceſe. He died at
York, Dec. 21. 1060. and was buried at Peterborough, where he had
been originally a Monk.
ALDRED, Biſhop of Worceſter, was appointed to ſucceed in this
See An. 1061. and obtained leave from King Edward the Confeſſor to
hold Worceſter with it, as four of his Predeceſſors, viz. Wulfbere; Of-
wald, Adulf, Wulftan II. had done ; but going to Rome for his Pall,
the Pope not only refuſed to grant him Tork, but deprived him of Wor-
ceſter : Wherefore coming homewards much diſcontented, he and his
Companions were robbed upon the Alpes, which neceſſitated them to re-
turn back to Rome, where, after much Importunity, he obtained Ad-

miſſion to this See, on condition he quitted Worceſter: However, the
Pope granted him this Privilege, as may be feen in the Monafticon, that the
Biſhop of Worceſter ſhould be reckoned as one of his Suffragans, and re-
ceive Conſecration from him, which Privilege King Edward alſo con-
firmed, and he accordingly conſecrated Wolltan to that Biſhoprick; but
ordered the Matter fo, that he got twelve Manors from that Church to
his own Uſe, which he and his Succeſſor for fome time enjoyed. While
he fate Archbiſhop he made great Alteration in the Habit and Apparel of
his Clergy, which before differed nothing from Laymen: And indeed the
firſt regular Settlement of our Clergy was ſince the Conqueſt, and their
Inſtitution to Parochial Cures commenced chiefly then ; ſo that what
ſome Authors plead of their Liberty to marry antiently is of very little
Authority, if we conſider the State of the Church in its Infancy, which
is excellently deſcribed in Biſhop Kennet's learned Hiſtory of Impropria-
tions. As to Aldred, he died Sept. 11. 1069. and was, as our Wri-
ters fay, buried in his own Church at York, though I rather conclude
it at Glouceſter, where he built a ſumptuous Abbey, now converted
into a Cathedral, where is yet to be ſeen a Monument erected to his
Memory.
THOMAS fucceeded An. 1070. Godwin ſays he was Son of a mar
ried Prieſt, meaning, I ſuppoſe, that his Father, who had in a Lay-State
contracted Marriage, afterwards took Orders, which was common in
thoſe Times, till the Church became better regulated : At his coming to
the See, he found every thing in great Diſorder, ſo that he had his Dio-
ceſe entirely to new modelize, as well as Church to rebuild, which he
effected. And though at his coming he found only three Canons left,
yet he redreſſed every thing, ſettled a regular College, divided the Eſtate
of the Church into Prebends, appointing a Dean, Precentor, Chancel-
lor, Treaſurer and Archdeacons, as it continues at this Day, faving that
the Treaſurerſhip is diſſolved. Concerning his Controverſy about the
Primacy with the Archbiſhop of Canterbury, ſee what is ſaid in the
Decem Scriptores and other Authors. Beſides ſeveral Lands pro-
cured to his See, he obtained the Barony of Church-Down Co. Glouce-
ſter, with ſeveral Manors in that County, which continued part of the
Demeſnes of this Archbiſhoprick, till Archbiſhop Holgate's Time, temp.
Hen. VIII. At length, having fate Archbiſhop with great Honour the
Space of thirty Years, he died Nov. 18. 1100. at Rippon, and was bu-
ried in his own Cathedral, with this Epitaph falſely aſcribed by fome
Writers to Archbiſhop Thomas II. who was his Nephew.

On his Death
GERARD, Biſhop of Hereford, was tranſlated to this See An. 1100.
He died at Southwell, May 21. 1108. having been a great Benefactor
to his Cathedral by giving the Churches of Laghton and Driffeild for
Prebends, and Lilham, Pocklington and Pickering to the Deanary,
which Churches he obtained of the King. He lies buried in his own
Cathedral, behind the High-Altar, under a Grave-Stone with his Name
on it, as Leland informs us.
Thomas II. elect Biſhop of London, became conſecrated to this See
June 27. 1109. He died Feb. 19. 1113. though ſome Authors make it
Feb. 25. and was buried in his own Cathedral, in which he founded two
Prebends, of which Wighton is ſuppoſed to be one.
THURSTA N fucceeded, being elected at Wincheſter, Aug. 150 1114.
but not confecrated till O&t. 19. 1119. which Favour he obtained from
the Pope; it being deferred ſo long on account of the old Quarrel between
the two Sees of Canterbury and York, which in fome meaſure was com-
promiſed in his Time, as may be ſeen in a Bull in the Monafticon. Grow-
ing very infirm he retired to Pontfratt, and there, profeffing himſelf a
Monk, reſigned his Biſhoprick January 15. 1139. and dying there Feb.
5. following, (Mr. Torr makes it Feb. 11. 1140.) was buried there.
See an Account of him in Newcourt's Repertorium of the Dioceſe of
London, he having been a Canon of St. Paul's on his Reſignation.

Wincheſter ; but, the Pope refuſing to confecrate him, unleſs he would
reſign his Abbacy of Caen in Normandy, he loſt it : And

canonized by Pope Honorius, being accounted a Saint by the good-
natured Superſtition of the People of York, who had him in great Re-
verence; a Table of his Miracles, which were thirty nine in Number,
and were ſaid to be done at his Sepulchre twenty three Years after his
Death, hangs up, as the ſame were regiſtered, in a Table, which is ſtill

North Ifle, that opened into it: He alſo rebuilt the Archiepiſcopal Pa-

Warden of the North Parts, he had the good Fortune, on the Scots in-

Overthrow, and take David Bruce their King Priſoner. He died Fu-

nized Sept. 8. 1354. He was, as Godwin tells us, a very learned Man,
and wrote an Expoſition on the Commandments in the Engliſh Tongue,
with other Divinity Tracts rare in that Age, which Godwin prays
God
be not now too common. He was afterwards made a Cardinal by the
Title of St. Peter ad Vincula, as appears by his Seal, which Mr. Torr

tween two Pillars, where is yet remaining his Tomb, which was much fre-
quented by the common People, who, on account of his thus ſuffering in
Behalf of his injured Patroni, King Rich. II. had a great Eſteem for him.
THOMAS LANGLEY, Dean of this Church, obtained the King's
Aſſent to the Election of him made by the Chapter Aug. 8. 1405. But he
was ſet aſide, and next Ycar became Biſhop of Durham : And
ROBERT HALLOM Was nominated by the Pope, but before Conſe-
cration the Pope thought good to appoint him to the See of Salisbury :
Whereupon
HENRY BOWETT, LL. D. Archdeacon and Prebendary of Lincoln,
firſt Canon and next Biſhop of Bath and Wells, became tranſlated to this
See O&t. 7. 1497. He was, as Mr. Torr ſays, famous for his Houſe-
Keeping, exerciſing fo great Hoſpitality, that he uſually expended eigh-
ty Tons of Claret-Wine yearly. He died at Cawood, Oit. 20. 1423.
the great Hall of which Palace he had built, and was buried in the Ca-
thedral, where yet his Monument remains, which is referred to in the
Ichnography. In his Will, which bears date Sept. 9. 1421. he gives
ſome Veſtments to Wells Cathedral; to Tupholm Abbey Ço. Lincoln,
where his Mother lay buried; and to Penrith Co. Cumberland, where
his Father was interred. On his Death
RICHARD FLEMING, Biſhop of Lincoln, was by the Pope ap
pointed to this See, and had the Temporalities reſtored him Dec. 1. 1424.
But the King and Chapter ſo ſtrongly oppoſed him, that he was content
to go back to Lincoln again : And the Pope tranſlated in his room
JOHN KEMPF, LL. D. Biſhop of London, to this See, to which
he was elected April 8. 1426. He had been Archdeacon of Durham,
Biſhop of Rocheſter and Chicheſter, before he became Biſhop of London,
and was removed thence to this Archbiſhoprick, and from hence to that
of Canterbury, An. 1452. where he died in little more than a Year, and
was buried in that Cathedral. He had alſo been twice dignified with a
Cardinalſhip, as well as with five Biſhopricks, as is expreſſed in this

and on the 4th of Sept. 1453. he was folemniy enthronized at Tork.
He died at Southwell, Sept. 12. 1464. where he beſtowed much Money
on his Palace, and was buried in the Collegiate Church there, where is
yet to be ſeen his Tomb, being a plain, ordinary Altar-Monument. In
his Will, which bears date at Southwell, Aug. 26. 1464. “ He appoint-
ed to be buried in St. John Baptiſt's Chapel in Southwell Collegiate
« Church, if he died at Southwell ; or in York Cathedral, if he died at
“ York; and ordered his Executors to build a Manſion for the Chaplains
to live in, that officiated at Eccles Co. Lancaſter, where he had founded
a Chantry." He alſo gave ſeveral Ornaments to York Minſter.
GEORGE NEVILL, Brother to Richard Nevill the great Earl of
Warwick, ſucceeded. He had been Archdeacon of Northampton, and
Prebendary of Lincoln, York and Rippon, and at length Biſhop of Exe-
ter, from whence he was tranſlated hither Mar. 15. 1464. on Sept. 6.
he received the Pall at Cawood, and the 2 2d of that Month, 1465. made
that prodigious Feaſt, the Bill of Fare of which is given in Godwin and
other printed Authors ; at which were provided three hundred Tons of
Ale, and one hundred Tons of Wine, above a thouſand Sheep, and five
hundred Veniſon-Paſties, with other Proviſion ; to the Dreſſing of which
were appointed ſixty two chief Cooks, beſides five hundred and fifteen
Servants and Turn-Spits. In his Time Pope Sixtus IV. made the Biſhop of
St. Andrew's Primate of all Scotland, which till this time belonged to
this See : He did what he could to hinder it, but in vain. Of his tak-
ing King Edward IV. Priſoner, and the Troubles he met with, fee
what is faid in Godwin and other Authors; though it was at Wolvey in
Warwickſhire, and not at Olney in Northamptonſhire, [i. e. Bucking-
hamſhire] as Godwin has it, that the Fact happened. He died June 8.
1476. and was buried in his own Cathedral: And ſucceeded by
LAURENCE BOOTH, Biſhop of Durham, tranſlated hither Sept. 1.
and enthronized Sept. 8. 1476. the other Preferments he enjoyed, not
mentioned in Godwin, were, the Deanary of St. Paul's, London ; the
Archdeaconries of Richmond and Stow; the Rectory of Cottenham Co.
Cambridge, and Prebends in York, London and Lichfield Cathedrals.
He purchaſed the Manor of Batterſea Co. Surry of one Nicholas Stan-
ley, and gave it to his Succeſſors, appointing that they ſhould pay Sti-
pends to two Chantry Prieſts at Southwell ; which Stipends are now, as
I am informed, given to Guilford Free-School. In his Will, dated
Sept. 28. 1479, he ordered to be buried at Southwell in St. John Bap-
tift's Chapel, next the Wall; and gave 20 l. to York Cathedral. He di-
ed at Southwell, May 19. 1480, where yet is to be ſeen his Tomb, be-

of Braſs, and an Inſcription under it long ſince defaced : So that his be-
ing buried at Cawood, mentioned in the Account of him in Anglia Sa-
cra, Vol. I. is a Miſtake. His Succeſſor was
THOMAS SCOT, alias ROTHER HAM, born at Rotherbam. He
1. ad been Fellow of King's College, and Maſter of Pembroke-Hall,
ward IV. Kceper of his Privy Seal, and Lord Chancellor ; afterwards
Biſhop of Rocheſter, then of Lincolni. The Bull of his Tranſlation from
Lincoln hither bears date July 7, 1480. which was publiſhed at York,
as Mr. Torr tells us, Dec. 12. following. He built the Schools-Gate at
Cambridge, and Library at the end of that Building ; finiſhed Lincoln-
College in Oxon, begun by Biſhop Fleming, and added five Fellow-
ſhips to it; and founded a College at Rotherbam for a Provoſt, five
Prieſts, fix Choiriſters, and three School-Maſters for Grammer, Singing
and Writing ; built the great Kitchen at Whitehall, ſeveral Offices at
Southwell; and at Bijbops-Thorp erected the Hall
, Houfe-Keeper's
Room, Bake-Houſe, Kitchen, Drawing-Room, Dining-Room, Study
and other Chambers above, as Mr. Torr ſays. He died of the Plague at
Cawood, in the ſeventy fixth Year of his Age, May 29. 1500. and was
buried in his own Cathedral, under a Tomb he built for himſelf, yet re-
maining. In his Will, dated Aug. 6. 1498. he bequeathed ſeveral Veſt-
ments to Zuton Church Co. Bedford, where his Mother and Brother were
interred; and a Chalice to Wingham Co. Kent, where he had been Pro-
voſt; and to Ripple, where he had been Rector.
THOMAS SAVAGE, LL. D. Biſhop of London, was elected to this
See April 12. 1501. He died at Cawood. Sept. 3. 1507. (having ſpent
much on his Palace there and at Scrooby) appointing his Heart to be bu-
ried at Macclesfield Co. Cheſter, where he was born, and had founded a
College; and his Body in York Cathedral, in the South Choir, where
his Monument is yet ſtanding. His Succeſſor was
CHRISTOPHER BAIN BRIGGE, LL. D. Provoſt of Queen's Col-
lege, Oxon, Rector of Aller Co. Somerſet, Maſter of the Rolls, Trea-
ſurer of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, Prebendary of Sarum, York,
Lincoln, Dean of Windſor and York, and at length Biſhop of Durham,
from whence he was tranſlated hither Sept. 22. 1508. and received the
Temporalities Dec. 1 2. following. He was An. 1511. made a Cardinal,
as he had been, before he was made a Biſhop, Lord Chancellor of Eng-
land. He died at Rome, July 14. 1514. being poiſoned there by his
own Steward, and was buried in the English College there with this

Church College in Oxford, born in March 1471. for an Account of
whom I need only refer to his Life, publiſhed by the learned Dr. Fiddes,
and to what is faid of him in other numerous Authors. The Bull of
Pope Leo X. for his Tranſlation from Lincoln hither, bears date O&t. 1.
1514. which was publiſhed at York, Dec. 3. and the 17th of the ſaid
Month he was enthronized by Proxy. In the next Year he was made a
Cardinal, and had about two Years after the Abbatſhip of St. Alban's
given him in Commendam, being the only Cardinal Abbat ever in Eng-
land as we find. In the Year 1518. he had the Biſhoprick of Bath and
Wells given him alfo in Commendam, which in four years he reſigned
for that of Durham, which he likewiſe quitted An. 1529. on his Ac-
ceptance of Wincheſter. About the beginning of Nov. 1530. he was
arreſted at Cawood for High-Treafon, from whence as they were con-
ducting him to London, he fill fick by the way, and died Nov. 29.
1530. in Leiceſter Abbey, and was buried in the middle of the Lady's
Chapel of that Monaſtery, which being deſtroyed, and the Church en-
tirely demoliſhed at the Diffolution about twelve Years afterwards ; and
no Foundation of it being at this time poſſible to be diſcovered, prevented
a late pious Deſign of removing his Aſhes to the Cathedral in his own
College at Oxford, and erecting a Monument to his Memory there ; the
Want of which gave occaſion to a Right Reverend Member of his Foun-
dation to complain thus in the laſt Age,

ing was enthronized by Proxy, though not in Perſon till April 1. 1534.
He died Sept. 13. 1544. and was buried in the Cathedral, under the up-
permoft Window on the North Side, with this Inſcription,

In his Time there were in the Cathedral, as Mr. Torr obferves, no leſs
than thirty Altars, and fixty four Chantries richly adorned, and ſeveral
of them well endowed. About two Years before his Death, by Inden-
ture dated Nov. 12. 1542. he alienated his Manors of Beverley, South-
well, Skidby and Biſhops-Burton, in Exchange with the Crown, for the
diffolved Priory of Marton cum membris, and other Manors belonging
to Religious Houſes, as Kilbourne, Sutton under Whitſon-Cliffe, &c. but
this was no ill Bargain, and the Church had little Diſadvantage hereby,
eſpecially in compariſon with what it ſuffered in the Time of his Suc-
ceſſor,
ROBERT HOLGÅTE, S.T. P. tranſlated from Landaff hither Jan.
6. 1544. born at Holmſworth, about eight Miles from Wakefield, in the
Weft-Riding of Yorkſhire, and bred up among the Gilbertine Monks at
Sempringham in Lincolnſhire, and afterwards Prior of Watton in this
his native Country, who ſurrendering his Priory, and being a forward
Man to promote King Henry VIII. Meaſures, he foon found Means to be
removed from Landaff to this See, which, within a Month after his
Tranſlation, he greatly impoveriſhed, by paſſing away to the King and his
Heirs, as already mentioned, thirteen Manors in Northumberland, forty
in Yorkshire, fix in Nottinghamſhire, and eight in Glouceſterſhire ; in
Lieu of which he obtained theſe thirty three Impropriations and Advow-
fons, late Parcels of Abbey-Lands, whoſe Names I ſhall briefly repeat,
viz. Doncaſter, Ruiſton, Felkirk, Darington, Neither-Popleton, Feliſ-
kirk, Sutton, Shirriff-Hutton, Braferton, Myton, Crawm, Thirkleby,

all Co. York, and Haxy and Ozoſton Co. Lincoln And though, by
theſe
ARCHBISHOPS of YORK. 45
$
thefe unworthy Meaſures, he had heaped and amaſſed a great deal of
Wealth, beyond what any other Biſhop in England was Maſter of, yet
it did not profper with him ; for in Edward VI. Reign he met with
his Troubles, one Norman petitioning that King and his Council againſt
him, claiming the Archbiſhop's wife to be his, the faid Norman's
Wife. And in the next Reign, viz. Queen Mary's, he had all his
Riches ſeized on, as may be ſeen in Strype's Life of Archbiſhop Cran-
mer ; where fee, ſub An. 1554. an Inventory of his vaſt Poffeflions that
he had hoarded up at Cawood and Batterſea; and was moreover de
prived and put into the Tower; there being alſo, about the beginning
of March 1554. deprived with him, as Mr. Wharton ſpeaks (who tells
us, that, by his Covetouſneſs and baſe Actions, he was a Blemiſh to the
Reformation) the Biſhops of St. David, Cheſter and Brifrol, who were
likewiſe fet aſide for their Marriages ; on account that having, all three
of them as well as our Archbishop, been brought up in Religious Houſes,
and taken the Vow of Coelibacy upon them, they had broken the
fame, and ſo were more feverely dealt with, than the fecular Clergy,
who were not under ſuch folemn Reſtrictions, and ſo were diſmiſſed with-
out farther Hardſhips and Impriſonment ; which this Archbiſhop having
andergone for above a Year and half, he was, by the Intereſt of King
Philip, releaſed Jan. 18. 1555-6. And ſo, as I prefume, retiring to..
Hemſworth, the Place of his Nativity, where he had founded an Hofpi-
tal and Free-School, died there, and was obſcurely buried. In his Will,
which I have ſeen, dated April 27. 1555. in the Tower, and proved
Dec. 4. 1556. about eleven Months after his Enlargement, he orders to
be buried privately in the Pariſh where he ſhould deceafe, bequeaths his
Soul to Almighty God, St. Mary and all the Company of Heaven, and
gives 40 s. to the Miniſter of the Pariſh where he died to pray for him.
In a Grant of Arms to him, entred in the Herald's Office, he is ſtyled of
Holmſworth Co. York, In the Year 1553. a little before his Deprivation,
I find granted to Barbara his Wife, by King Edward VI. about
fix Weeks before that King's Death, on May 27. the Manor of Scro-
by Co. Nottingham for her Support. She is in the Patent ſtyled, Barba-
ra, Wife of Robert Archbiſhop of York, and ſo I ſuppoſe Norman's
Proſecution of him was made up. After her Death, and the Arch-
biſhop's, it was provided, that this Manor ſhould revert to the See of
York again : Which on his Deprivation lay fome time vacant, till the
Tranſlation of

Surry; where he died, and was buried in the Chancel An. 1570.
21. and O. 3. received the Pall, and Jan. 22. following he was en-
thronized by his Proxy, the Suffragan Biſhop of Hull
. His firſt Pre-
ferments were, the Archdeaconry of Stafford, and Biſhoprick of Roche-
ſter; he was alſo Almoner to King Henry VIII. as he was Lord
Chancellor to Queen Mary, of whom he obtained Suffolk-Houſe in
Southwark, in Recompence for Whiteball, which had been taken from
this See; but that being at too great a Diſtance, he procured inſtead
thereof York-Place in the Strand, which himſelf and Succeffors enjoyed
till King James I. to pleaſure the Duke of Buckingham, exchanged it
with Archbiſhop Matthews for Lands elſewhere. He alſo prevailed
on Queen Mary, to reſtore Rippon Lordſhip with feven Manors, Mem-
bers thereof, alienated by his Predeceſſor Holgate ; and alſo got back
again Southwell, and five other Manors in Nottinghamſhire : Infomuch
that Mr. Torr fays, in Truth the See of York owes to Queen Mary and
this Archbiſhop, more than a third Part of its prefent Revenues. Upon
Queen Elizabeth's Acceffion to the Crown, he was deprived ; and hav-
ing been ever eſteemed a moft excellent Man, endowed with great Piety
and Moderation, he was ſuffered to retire to his Eftate at Chobham in
under
a blue Stone, as our Writers inform us, and the Inhabitants have yet
Tradition : Though when I was there an. 1723. I could ſee no Sign of
any Grave-Stone that was in Memory of him, or any of his Name ; not-
withſtanding his Relations flouriſhed here till very lately. Soon after
his Deprivation An. 1560.
WILLIAM MA y, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, was elected
to this See : But dying before he received Confecration, was buried in St.
Paul's Cathedral, with this Inſcription on his Grave-Stone,

THOMAS YOUNG, LL. B. Biſhop of St. David's, was tranſlated
to this See, being elected Jan. 27. 1560. and confirmed Feb. 25. fol-
lowing; of whom and his Succeſſors there being a particular Account
given, in a Book publiſhed by Mr. Le Neve, An. 1720. entitled, the Lives
of the Proteſtant Archbiſhops of this See, I need only refer thereto for the
Hiſtory of him and the ſucceeding Archbiſhops : However, in carrying on
the Method of this ſhort Account, I ſhall beg leave to inſert fome few
Corrections and Additions to Mr. Le Neve and other Writers; and brief-
ly remark, that this Archbiſhop, who was about 1508. born at Hogeſton,
near Lantfey in Pembrokeſhire, had, beſides the Preferments mentioned
in Le Neve, the Prebends of Trallong and Caron in the Collegiate
Churches of Brecknock and Llandewybrewy. What Le Neve intimates
from Fox, about his asking Farrer Forgiveneſs at his Execution, ſeems
entirely a Miftake : For 'tis certain Younge was gone out of the Land
An. 1554. when Farrer ſuffered. In Stephens's additional Volumes to
the Monafticon, we find ſome Complaints of this Archbiſhop's making
an ill uſe of his Power, by diſpoſing of his Preferments to mercenary
Ends, and ſettling the Eſtates of his beſt Prebends to provide for
his Family: And Sir John Harrington intimates, that he was a very
worldly Man, and ſtuck at nothing to advantage his Son; and that, hav-
ing made a 1000 l. by ſtripping his Palace at Pork of the Lead, and by
other facrilegious Plunder, tells us a merry Story, how he was circum-
vented of the Booty, and loſt it all by a Courtier's Stratagem, who, on
the Archbiſhop's proteſting on his Faith about his Poverty, found Means
to get into his Hands what this Booty yielded. He died at Sheffield,
June 26. 1568. and was buried in the South Idle of the Cathedral, on
one fide the Choir, under a Grave-Stone which had this Inſcription
on it,

lowing, and was next Day inſtalled by Proxy. He was on Feb. 15.

wards of London, who became elected to this See Jan. 25. 1576.
confirmed March 8. enthronized by Proxy March 13, and had the
Temporalities reſtored the 16th of the ſaid Month. To what Mr. Le
Note fays of him in his Life, I fhall add, that Fuller tells us, he was
born at Conisby in Lancaſhire, and not Furnesfells : And Parker, in
his Skeletos Cantabr.
informs us, the Scholarſhip he had in St. John's,
Cambridge, was of Dr. Felton's, not Dr. Fell's Foundation, as in Le
Neve. He was doubtleſs like his Predeceſſor Young, a very worldly
Man ; and, by the Diſputes he had every-where, I fear of a very con-
tentious Spirit. He had many Children, the youngeſt of which George
Sandys, born, after he was Archbiſhop, at Thorp, was a moft excellent
Poet, and a Man of univerſal Learning and Worth. Concerning the
ſeems to be much wronged: The Tradition is ſtill freſh at Doncaſter.
His Scruples to Queen Élizabeth, in refuſing to leafe Southwell, would
ſcarce have been fo commended by Mr. Le Neve, if he had obſerved
his Son, and his pulling down the Palace there
down the Palace there or if he had ſeen what
Mr. Torr remarks, about his giving his eldeſt Son (though not in Orders)
the golden Prebend of his Church; which Prebend, with ſeveral other
Eftates of the Archbiſhoprick, remained An. 1693. in Mr. Torr's Time,
in his Family. In the fecond Volume of Strype's Hiſtory of the Refor-
mation, we have fad Complaints againſt him by Biſhop Aylmer, his Suc-
ceffor at London, who writes thus of him to the Lord Treaſurer Cecill:
Coloured Covetouſneſs, an envious Heart, covered with the Cloak of
Diffimulation, will when Opportunity ſerveth ſhew itſelf.” Aylmer al-
ſo calleth him, “ An unthankful Man ;” and ſays, “ That as ſoon as he
got himſelf a Rochet, he was transformed, and thewed himſelf in his
Nature.
Strype, ſpeaking of him An. 1577. after he was Arch-
biſhop, tells us, that viſiting the Church of Durham, Whittingham,
the Dean there, oppoſed him, which inſtigated him to write to Court,
that Whittingham was no ordained Miniſter of the Church of England,
but received his Orders at Geneva; and next Year he wrote again to

Court againſt his own Dean, Dr. Hutton, with whom he had alfo
quar-
relled, and ſo on that account follicited, that Hutton might be made Bi-
Thop of Lichfield ; For, ſays he, I cannot live with that-Man. Hut-
ton in Return taxed him, T bat he made no account of his Clergy, and
the Preachers of the Goſpel. He was An. 1579. preſented for Dilapi-
dations at London, which gave handle to a great Courtier to preſs him
more eagerly to part with Southwell and Scroby ; though who this Cour-
tier was, we are not told : But I cannot ſuppoſe him Sir Robert Stapleton,
or that Sir Robert was, as Mr. Le Neve imagines, precipitate to take
the unhandſome Revenge he did, on being denied Southwell. At length,
after this Archbiſhop had lived in perpetual Diſquiet, both at Worceſter,
London and here, having out of the Patrimony of the Church raiſed a
fair Fortune to his Family, he departed this Life at Southwell, Fuly 10.
1588. aged fixty nine, and was buried in the Church there, and not at
Hawkshead, as the Author of the Antiquities of Worceſter would have
it, from his Coenotaph erected there, which is verbatim the ſame as on
his real Monument at Southwell; though 'tis plain, from fome Expref-
ſions in it, that the Character could not relate to Hawkshead, but South-
well. His Will is in Regiſtro Drury, Qu. 30. in the Prerogative-Office,
but has nothing memorable in it of his Charities. What farther relates
to him is given in his Epitaph on his Tomb, in the North Corner of
Southwell Choir, which contains his Effigies lying at length, with a

his Humanity, Chriſtian Behaviour and Generoſity, which, being a ſin-

The other Preferments he had enjoyed were, a Prebend of Canterbury,
the Preſidentſhip of Magdalen College, Ox01, the Rectories of Stan-
lake Co. Oxon, and Warnford Co. Southampton, and Deanary of Glouce-
fter; though he had conſiderable Advantages from Lichfield and York,
and was a ſingle Man, yet being the Son of a Puritanical Miniſter, (as
his Father was reported to have been) I find nothing done by him to either
of his Cathedrals: However, it is certain he laid out conſiderably on his
Palace at Biſhops-Thorp, and was a Benefactor to Magdalen College.
Dr. Chamberlain, as Mr. Le Neve fays, aſſures us in his State of Eng-
land, that his Benefactions, beſides Abatement to Tenants, amounted to
15000 l. but how that was expended he does not account. I cannot in

lowing by Proxy. He was born at Thwing in the Eaſt-Riding of
Yorkſhire, as Mr. Torr informs us; ſo how his Oath, of being a Na-
tive of Carliſle Diocefe, on his being admitted Fellow of Queen's Col-
lege, Oxon, was diſpenſed with, I cannot account. He was, as A. Wood
tells us, (to the new Edition of whoſe Athene I ſhall refer for his Life
and Character, as additional to what Le Neve fays of him) for ſome
time Rector of Binfield Co. Berks, and afterwards of Carlton on Oft-

at Dillops-Thorp, May 5. An. 1691. and was buried in this Cathedral,
(the Altar-Place of which he had paved with black and white Marble,
and added new Rails and Tapeſtry-Hangings) with this Inſcription on an

JOHN SHARP, S. T. P. confecrated 7uly 5. 1691. To the Ac-
count, given of this eminent Prelate in his Epitaph drawn up by Biſhop
Smallridge, whoſe Knowledge of him, and Integrity, will, as Mr. Le
Neve obferves, render every Particular in it to be depended on, I ſhall
only add, That he was a moſt excellent Governour, brought the Preben-
daries in his Cathedral of York, and Colleges of Southwell and Rip
poll
, to ſtriet Reſidence; and, that they might be the better diſpoſed
thereto, he made it his unalterable Practice always to elect them out of
ſuch as lived in his Dioceſe, and had recommended themſelves by doing
their Duties in their reſpective Parochial Cures: By which Mcans no
Cathedral in England was better attended by Clergy, and the Service
more regularly performed than at York, or the Miniſters of ſmall Liv-
ings, in any Diocefe, more encouraged to attend their Charge ; becauſo
this good Bishop would reward their Diligence by ſuch Compenſations,
more eſpecially thoſe in York City, on whoſe Conduct the World had
a more eſpecial Eye. Hoping his Example would influence his Succef-

fors to take the like Courſe: Which certainly if other Biſhops had in
like manner pra&tifed, the Dignities of Cathedrals would have been kept
up as in the primitive Times, and we ſhould not have ſeen ſeveral of
them fo fcandalouſly neglected, nor have Reaſon to complain, as we juſt-
ly may, in relation to one of them, viz. Landaft; where, as there has
ſcarce been in thefe thirty Years laſt paſt one Clergyman in the Dioceſe
preferred to a Prebend therein, we may leſs wonder at the laying aſide
the Organ and Choir-Service, and the ſuffering the Bells, which have
been broke in leſs than that Period, to remain cracked, and the Breaches,
made by fome late Storms in the Towers and other Parts of the Church,
to continue unrepaired: Whereas, on a like Accident to Southwell Col-
legiate Church, a Place of leſs. Note than Landaft, it being only a
Village, this good Archbiſhop inmediately ſet himfelf to work to re-
pair that Church, and not only generouſly gave his own, but obtained fe-
veral large Charities to it, and by his Example and Zeal foon made up
the Breaches. But I come to his Epitaph aforementioned, erected on his
Monument in this Cathedral, which as it ſums up his Preferments, and
gives us fome farther Hiſtory of him, I may thence refer for the remain-
ing Part of his Character:

Biſhoprick of Cheſter; from which he was tranſlated to this See (as 'tis
generally believed) by the Recommendation of his excellent Predeceſſor,
who was no leſs fedulous to profit this Church after his Death, than
he was in his Life-time to take care of it: And ſo very ſoon after his

F Deans, Carons, and other Dignitaries in Cathedrals, ſee
Dugdale's Appendix to his Hiſtory of St. Paul's Cathedral, and
alſo the Icarned Biſhop Stilling fleet's Eccleſiaſtical Caſes; where is
given a particular Account of their Creation, Office, &c. which is like-
wife very amply treated of in Biſhop Kennet's excellent Book of Paro-
chial Antiquities of Ambroſden, Burcheſter, Gr. What I ſhall here
obferve is, That the Dean is the Principal Canon or Prieſt in the
Church, being bound to reſide altogether there, and being obliged to in-
ſpeet the Government of it, and to defend its Liberties, and keep its
laudable Cuftoms, and exerciſe his Authority in cauſing others to obſerve
them, he is alſo bound by Oath to preſerve the Goods and Eſtates of the
Church from being loft, or alienated ; and as he is Chief in the Church
next the Biſhop, ſo in the Chapter he is the greateſt of all; for without
his Concurrence the other Members cannot regularly mect, or act.
The original Eſtabliſhment of this Office, as well here as in other Ca-
thedrals,
was, as all our Writers agree, ſince the Conqueft: For tho
titular Deans (by, which ſeems to be underſtood only rural once) occur
in the Saxon Times; yet 'tis plain all their Juriſdiction and Power was
ſettled after the Norman Invaſion ; ſince which Time Precentors, Cban.
cellor's, Treaſurers, Archdeacons and Prebendaries became firſt conſti-
tured, and introduced into Cathedrals. The Founder of them in this
Church (where doubtleſs they were eſtabliſhed as early as in any other)
was Archbilhop Thomas, who An. 1090. about twenty four Years after
the Conqueſt, divided the Lands of this Cathedral into Prebends, allot-
ing each Member his particular Portion, as it continues to this Day; ex-
cept, that the Treaſurerſhip, with two Prebends annexed to it, being
too well endowed, and four others were diſſolved not long after the Re-
formation,

PRECENTORS of YORK.
HE Precentor is commonly called the Cantor, or Chaunter of the
Church: His Office is to look after the Singing-Men and Choiriſters,
and take care of the Singing-Service in the Choir, where he has the next
Place after the Dean, and is, by the Dean's Directions, to manage and
take care of the Inſtallments, and other Regulations of the Choir ; to put
out and in, the Singing-Men, and determine Diſputes between them. He
has under him a Succentor or Subchantor, whoſe Duty is to ſupply his
Office in his Abfence, which Perſon is ſtill continued.
The Revenues of this Dignity, founded Anno 1090, as already obſerved,
are the Impropriation of Usborne parva in Borough BridgeDeanary, (which
lies now in Cheſter Dioceſe) and Advowſon of the Vicaridge, with fome
Tythes in Tadcaſter and Hellington, valued at 30 l. 145. Which not be-
ing thought fufficient, Archbiſhop Rotherham, Anno 1483. annexed to it
the Prebend of Dritfeild, valued at 62 l. per Ann. to which belongs a Moi-
ety of Haxby Lordſhip Co. Lincol .
Beſides the Advowſons of Usbarne and Driffeild aforeſaid, the Precentor
is alſo Patron of Oddington Co. Glouceſter, which Pariſh belonged to the
See of work, till Archbiſhop Holgate granted away the Manor, though the
Precentor itill kept his Right.
The Value of this Dignity with Driffeild is rated for Firſt-Fruits at 891.

Archbiſhop Thomas, who eſtabliſhed it, as Mr. Torr ſays, a lit-
tle before 1990. when he appointed the Dean, Precentor, Prebends, &c.
This is the third great Dignity in the Church. His Office was to write
the Letters on the Chapter Buſineſs, and to read in the Chapter the Let-
ters ſent to them ; to keep the Seals, and ſet them to the Chapter Acts;
to take care of the Divinity and other Lectures in the Church, and to
licence and appoint Preachers and Readers of Divinity, and to ſee that
the Leſſons and Gofpels were well and diſtinąly read,
and on this ac-
count he was to be a Maſter in Divinity; and had the Care and Charge
of the Grammar-School, and appointed a Perſon to teach it ; he was al-
ſo to make up Chronologies, and regiſter remarkable Occurrences in the
Church ; and fo had an Aſiſtant, who was to be skilled in Divinity,
and was intitled his Subchancellor.
The Revenues belonging to this Dignity are the Impropriations and
Advowſons of Acclam and Waghen, the firſt valued at 131. 6 s. 8 d.

preſents, and pays for Firſt-Fruits for the whole 85 1. 6 s. 8 d.

HIS was the laſt of the four great Dignities, which Archbiſhop
Thomas I. founded Anno 1090. and though it was the loweſt of
them in Precedence, yet it was the moſt conſiderable of them in Profit.
The Office of this Dignitary was to keep the Treaſury of the Church,
as the Reliques, Books, Veſtments, Chalices, G. to find Lights and
Candles to burn in the Choirs and High-Altar, and other Altars, on
fpecial Anniverſaries, and Coals and Salt for the Uſe of the Church
to repair the Copes and Cloaths, and to find new ones in caſe of Need;
to provide Hangings for the Choir, Pulpit, and other Ornaments, and
Bread and Wine for the Communion; to buy Bell-Ropes, and other Ne
ceſſaries about the Bells, as Braſs, Iron, &c. except on new Founding
them, the Cognizance of which belonged to the Chapter.
He was by Oath bound, as were the other Members, to keep and ob
ſerve faithfully the antient Cuſtoms of the Church, and defend its Liber-
ties to the utmoſt of his Power.
He had alſo a Subtreaſurer under him, whoſe Office fell with his, to
whom he paid a Salary of fifty Marks; and to his Management was left
the providing Sacriſts, and other Officers, to do the ſervile Offices of the
Church, as opening the Doors, ringing the Bells, and cleaning it, blow-
ing the Organs, &c. He had alſo the Cuſtody of the Plate, Veſtments,
Charters
, Evidences, &c. fo was bound continually to refide and look
after things, both by himſelf and Deputy.
The Revenues, appropriated for his Maintenance, were the Tythes
and Manor of Accome, the Prebends of Newthorpe and Wiltou, the Im-
propriations or Rectories of Wiverthorp, Lowndesborough, Clere, Stain-
ton and Alne, of all or moſt which Churches he was Patron, as he was

As
ge
Archdeacons of York, alias Weſt-Riding or
:.
As to the Office of Archdeacon, though 'tis of great Antiquity, be-
ing derived even from the primitive Times, yet their Power and Furif
diction in this Kingdom certainly owes its Rife to the Norman Times:
Infomuch that even in London, (the moſt antient Biſhoprick in the
Kingdom) and other Engliſh Dioceſes, (except fome fuppofed Archdea-
cons of Canterbury) we meet with no Name of any Archdeacon till
fome Years after the Conqueſt : And whether thofe of Canterbury, if
we credit the Account of them, had any relation to the Cathedral, does
not appear. Wherefore it is to be preſumed, that theſe, inſtituted by
Archbishop Thomas in this Metropolitical Church An. 1090. were ſome
of the firſt Archdeacons that ever were introduced into Cathedrals.
In Biſhop Kennet's Parochial Antiquities (where ſee a large Account
of their Original) we are told, their firſt Inſtitution was to adminiſter in
fervile Employments under the Rural Dean of Chriſtianity, to whom
they were as much inferior as a Deacon was to a Prieſt : But by the Ad-
vantage of a Perſonal Attendance on the Biſhop, and a Delegation to
viſit Tome remote Parts of the Dioceſe, they by degrees obtained the
Powers they now exerciſe ; which is, to viſit their Diſtrias annually in
the Abſence of the Biſhop, and to enquire into all Crimes and Miſgo-
vernment of the People, and to reform and puniſh whatever they find
heinouſly committed againſt the Laws of God, or Man's Laws. And for
this Vilitation they have Procurations, and at Eaſter, Synodals paid
them; and in ſome Archdeaconries, over above theſe pecuniary Stipends,
are endowed with Impropriations or Demeſnes, as theſe our Archdea-
Cons of York, alias Weſt-Riding, are: Of whom I come now to give
a Series of their Names, who have, as their Corps, the Rectories and
Advowſons of Mexborough and Brayton Churches Co. York annexed to
their Dignity, which is valued at god. 138. d. for Firſt-Fruits. A

PREBEN DARIES of YORK.
OLLEGIATE Churches, being by their Inſtitution, to have
daily Prayers ſaid in them at affixed Hours, appointed by the Canons
or Statutes of their Foundation, thence called Canonical Hours, had on
that account Rents or Revenues appropriated for the Maintenance of
certain Perſons, who were to attend thofe Prayers and Hours; out of
which each of thoſe Perſons had a Portion alligned him, which was
therefore called a Prebend.
Theſe Portions, as they were ſet out in this Cathedral, were for the
molt part the Rectories of divers Parochial Churches, which were impro-
priated to maintain the reſpective Prebendaries, or Incumbents, who
were thence denominated from the Names of the Places fo appropriated.
Theſe were all of them collated to by the Biſhops of the Churches
wherein they were founded, and the Incumbents were admitted into their
reſpective Prebends by Tradition of a Book and Bread, and inveſted by
the Dean in the Chapter-Houſe, and inſtalled by the Precentor in the
Choir, on the Dean's Mandate. They were obliged to give to the
Church a Cope, while they continued poſſeſſed of a Prebend ; and if
they had not performed that Obligation in their Life-Time, during their
Poffefſion, they were bound to bequeath at leaſt 10 l. at their Death, to
the Uſe of the Church, or pay moreover twenty Marks, and their beſt
Palfrey: All which was beſtowed on the Fabrick.
There were anciently in this Cathedral thirty ſix of theſe Prebends,
of which two, viz. Wilton and Newthorp, being about 1240. annexed
to the Treaſurerſhip, were diſſolved with it Anno 1547. A third, viz.
Bramham, was not long after the Foundation annexed to the Priorſhip of
Noſtell; as was a fourth, viz. Salton, annexed to Hexam Priorſhip; and
fo fell Anno 1540. in the general Deſtruction of Religious Houfes, with
thoſe two Monaſteries. But the fifth and ſixth, viz. Maſſam and South-
cave, the former valued at 136 1. and the latter at 87 1. were An. 1547.
on account of their large Endowments, facrificed with the Treaſurer-
Ship to the Avarice of facrilegious Courtiers. And ſo only thirty (of
which two, as aforeſaid, are united to the Precentorſhip and Chancel-
lorſhip) remain at this Day.
Theſe thirty ſix Prebendaries, in like manner as the greater Dignita-
ries, had their reſpective Subſtitutes ; each Prebendary having his Vi-
car, or Deputy, to repreſent him on Occaſions, and officiate for him in
the Choir. Theſe Vicars Places, the Prebendaries were under Engage-
ments

ments to keep fully ſtated; for, on their Default in ſo doing, the Chap-
ter took care to ſupply and fill up the Vacancy. Theſe Vicars were en-
titled from the Stall of the Prebendary they belonged to; and had from
him a Stipend of 40 s. per Annum, which is ſtill paid according to the
antient Number of the Prebendal Stalls by the Chapter ; who, though
they have deduced and leſſened the Vicars to no more than five, accord-
ing to the Number of the Canons reſident, yet they ſtill pay them the
old Revenue of 72 l. being thirty fix times 40 s.
As to the Obſervation of Reſidence, purſuant to the old Statutes, each
Reſidentiary was to attend the Service of the Choir twenty fix Weeks,
and during that Time obliged to keep Hoſpitality, and never to be out
of his Houfe after the ringing of the Corfew-Bell.
By the laſt Statutes, printed in the Monafticon, Vol. III. dated Anno
1542. 33. Hen. VIII. made fince the Reformation, it was ordained,
That every Canon ſhould make his folemn Proteſtation when he began
his Reſidence; and, That there ſhould be always (as it had been pra-
etiſed before the Reformation) one Canon's Share or Dividend reſerved
for the Treaſure of St. Peter; and, if there were no Reſidentiary, the
common Revenue was all of it to be returned and paid into the Treaſury ;
and That, to prevent the Canons purloining or diſpoſing of the Eſtate
of the Church at their will, all the Prebendaries, being at or repairing
to Tork, ſhould be admitted to the Chapter, and vote therein ; and That
the Seal of the Chapter ſhould be locked up under three Keys; That
the Time of Reſidence ſhould be fixed by the Dean and Canons; and
That there ſhould be always preſent two or three Reſidentiaries ; and if
there were but one he ſhould receive the Profits of the reſt, and be obliged
to continual Reſidence and Attendance; That any of the Archdeacons be-
ing chofen Reſidentiaries, they ſhould be allowed, out of the twenty fix
Weeks, thirty Days for their Viſitations; That, though the Reſidentia
ries fhould over-ſtay their twenty fix Weeks, the Overplus of that time
ſhould not be taken into a new Year, and no Canon be reputed a Re-
fident, unleſs he lived in a Prebendal Houſe, and expended an 1col. by
the Yçar ; That the Vicars ſhould, in lieu of their claiming a Right to
eat at the Reſidentiary's Table, have an Allowance of 5 l. per Annum,
and a Stipend of 61. 13 si 4 d. over and above the 40 s. due from the
ſeveral thirty fix Prebendaries.
The Number of Reſidentiaries is now, as already noted, limited to
five, viz. the Dean and four others, which are all elective but the
were de jure Canons, and there were beſides them generálly three or four-
others choſen to that Honour : And though there were ſo many of them.,
whicha

which leſſened their Income, yet they always conſidered the Fabrick,
and conſtantly ſet apart one Dividend to it, beſides the Revenues belonging
to it, as they do at this Day; the Church having always a fifth or fixth
Share of the Reſidence-Money annually divided and ſeparated to its
Ufe.
I have been the longer in deſcribing the ſeveral Offices of this Church,
and enlarging on the Statutes, becauſe the ſame Ufage and Practice was
in other Cathedrals; and the Statutes of Landaff, which is the only
Church in the Kingdom that has been deprived of its antient Cuſtoms,
expreſsly deſcribe theſe very Uſages, which I have here exhibited, and
which are yet kept up in this our Cathedral of York, and to which by
Oath each Prebendary of Landaff ſeems obliged, at his Admittance, to
bind himſelf: And on this account as the Treaſurer of Landaff was to
be held to continual Reſidence, ſo he, by not having appointed him the
Dividend of a Mark a Year (the only Share or Wages the unreſident
Canons of that Church ſeem to have antiently allotted them) was as I con-
ceive entituled to receive the whole of the Chapter-Lands, and be ac-
countable for the Diſtribution of it towards the Fabrick and Hoſpitality,
and other neceſſary Duties of the Church.

AVING done with the Prebendaries, I ſhall conclude my Ac-
count of the Incumbents of the Stalls in this Cathedral, with
the Succentors, or Subchanters, which Office (though not fo in Reve-
nues) is eſteemed the loweſt in Rank in all the Cathedral; but, being a
Place of Truſt, it is often and commonly beſtowed by the Archbiſhop on
a Prebendary, and ſo entitles him to two Stalls.
- The Endowment of it is the Rectory of Tunſtall in Holdernefs, va-
lued at 8 l of which the Succentor is Patron.

His: Place in the Church, in the Precentor's Abſence, is to take
care of chanting in the Choir, and to officiate for him, as his Deputy:

Canonicorum, here is alſo a Succentor of the Vicars, which has fome-
times been miſtaken the one Subchanter for the other.**

After whoſe time, An. 821. it was united to Lindisfarne, and ſo be-
came with it tranſlated to Durbam, and continued ſubordinate to thoſe
Biſhops till Henry the Firſt's Reign ; when being, after the Year 1100.
beſtowed on the Church of York, it remained as a Fee or Member of
that Archbiſhoprick, and acquired the Reputation of being a County
Palatine, as Dr. Herlin tells us, till it was by Act of Parliament (as may
be ſeen in our Statute Books, 37 Hen. VIII. C. 16.) An. 1546. united to
the County of Northumberland, in Temporal Matters : However, it yet
belongs to this Dioceſe in Eccleſiaſtical. On its being given to York,
Archbiſhop Thomas placed a Convent of Canons Regular in the Church
of St. Andreww at Hexham, An. 1113. which (tho valued at 122 l. 11 s.
at the Diffolution, An. 1541.) not being thought fufficiently endowed,
occaſioned his Succeſſor Archbiſhop Thurſton, for the better Support of
the Priorſhip, to annex the Prebend of Salton in York Cathedral, to that
Dignity; and fo that Stall was accordingly held by the Priors of Hex-
ham, till the Surrender of it by Edward Jay, the laſt Prior, as I con-
ceive, An. 1541. whom I meet with poſſeſs'd of it An. 1534.
The Priors Church, as may be ſeen by the printed Draughts, is a
large Building, and eſteemid the moſt magnificent in theſe Parts. It is
ſtill ſtanding, tho' in no extraordinary Repair, and uſed as Parochial.

ONTAINS the whole County of Durbam, all Nors
thumberland except eight Churches and Chapels, being
Hexham Peculiar, which belong to York; it has alſo one
Pariſh, viz. Alfton Moor Co. Cumberland, and lays claim
to Crayke, Co. York, to be under its Jurifdiction. It is
divided into theſe two Archdeaconries :
1. DURHAM, which has thefe Deanaries in it, Cheſter, Darlington,
Eaſington, Stockton ; all Co. Durham.
II
. NORTHUMBERLAND, which compriſeth Alnwick, Bamburgh,
Corbridge, Morpeth, and Newcaſtle Deanaries ; all Co. Northum-
berland.
The moſt antient See of this Dioceſe was firſt fix'd at Lindisfarne
Iſland, Co. Northumberland, where it remained near three hundred
Years, and was thence remov'd to Cheſter on the Street, Co. Durham,
where it continued near a hundred Years ; till it was, Anno 995. tranf-

planted to Durham, where it now remains. Its Biſhop enjoys great
Privileges, being reputed a Count Palatine, or temporal Lord, within
the County of Durham, where all Cauſes were try'd in his Name; and
he had the Appointment of the Sheriff, divers of which Prerogatives it
yet retaineth: And the Bishop, by virtue hereof, claimeth Precedence of
all the Biſhops of the Kingdom, except London, and hath accordingly
Place in Parliament, without reſpect to Priority of Conſecration.
Here are in this Dioceſe, as our Authors mention, a hundred and
thirty five Pariſhes, whereof eighty ſeven are impropriate ; tho' in my
Account the number is two hundred and one. The Clergies Tenthş

AS a Dean, twelve Prebendaries, twelve Minor Canons, a Dea-
con, Subdeacon, fixteen Singing-men, a Maſter of the Choriſters,
ten Choriſters, a Divinity Reader, eight Almſmen, two Maſters of the
Grammar-ſchool, eighteen Scholars, two Virgers, two Porters, two Sex-
tons, two Barbers; in all ninety one, by King
Henry the VIIIth's Founda-
tion, who Anno 1541. converting the Priory into a College of Seculars,
aſſigned his new Dean and (Prebendaries their reſpective Apartments out
of the old Monaſtery, within the Precincts of which, the Biſhop, Dean,
Prebendaries, and other Members, have very good Houſes, the beſt of
any Cathedral in England, according to the Dignity of the Prebends,
which are reputed more richly endow'd than any other Church ; owing,
as I hear, to the Members allotting themſelves at firſt their reſpective
Dividends or Shares out of the Chapter-Lands, and not leaſing them in
common, by which Practice (in this fole Church of the new Founda-
tion) fome Prebends are of more Value than others, whereas in the reſt
they are all equal, as they might be here poſſibly at firſt, tho' the Im-
provements of Eſtates have made a Diſproportion, as it now continues.
The antient Valor being given in the firſt Volume of Abbies (where
fee an Account of the Priors) I ſhall thence extract it : Deanary, Va-

pho, who begun it Anno 1093, and left it to his Succeſſor Bishop Flam-
In a curious Hiſtory of this Place, wrote foon after the Diſſolution,
entitled, The Rites of Durham Monaſtery, publiſhed by John Davies,
are ſeveral particular Memorials of this Cathedral; which is a magnifi-
cent Pile of Building, extending itfelf, in Length, from Eaſt to Weſt,
411 Foot ; and in Breadth, about 78 or 80 Foot. In the Middle is a
fpacious croſs Inle, being from North to South 170 Foot. In the Section
of this ſtands the Rood-Tower, or Steeple, in Height, to the Top of the
Lantern, within-ſide, 162 Foot; over which hang the Bells, which are
eight in number. To the Top of this Tower it is reputed 223 Foot, as
may be ſeen in the Ichnography; from whence may be learned the whole
Dimenſions, and Scite of the antient Tombs and Graveſtones before
1600.
The Builders of this noble Structure were Biſhop William de Carile-
bard, who for the moſt part finiſh'd it ; Biſhop Pudſey, who built the
Gallilee at the Weſt End, Temp. Hen. II. Biſhop Farnham, Temp.
Hen. III. who vaulted over the Roof of the Church with Stone , Bi-
shop Skirlaw, Temp. Rich. II. who built the Cloiſters ; Biſhop Lang-
ley, Temp. Hen. VI. who finiſh'd the Gallilee ; Priors Foſfor and Wall-
worth, Temp. Edw. III. made ſeveral new Works, and added much
to the Beauty, of it in ſeveral Parts, as is defcrib'd more at large in Ana
glia Sacra, and the firſt Volume of Abbies. The whole Fabrick, to-
gether with the Cloiſters and Chapter-houſe, is vaulted throughout.
The Nave is ſupported by thick Pillars ; the Wainſcot of the Choir
regular ; the Organ large and good, the Font of Marble , the Win-
dows of exquiſite Workmanſhip, eſpecially the great Eaſt Window,
called St. Katherine's Window, becauſe reſembling a Katherine-Wheel:
near which on the South Side is a Window, called St. Cuthbert's Win-
dow, on account that the Glaſs of it was painted with the Hiſtory of
that Saint ; as was the oppoſite North one with the Hiſtory of St. Joſeph
and ſo called by his Name. At each end of the great croſs Iſle are al-
ſo two other noble Windows: The North one was called the Four
Doctors, becauſe it had pourtray'd in it the Effigies of the Bleſſed Vir-
gin, with four Doctors (or Monks, as the Vulgar fancied; probably the
four Evangeliſts) praying to her ; as had the oppoſite South one the
Myſtery of the Te Deum Hymn painted, and was thence called the Te
Deum Window: As may be more particularly ſeen in the aforefaid Ac-
count of this Church, publiſhed by John Davies of Kidwelly.
In a curious M. S. in the Heralds-Office are beautifully drawn all the
Arms in this Church, compriſing 117 Coats ; and alfo Biſhop Hatfeild's

In the new Edition of Bede, there are Repreſentations of ſome inſide
Views of the Cathedral. And in Dugdale's Hiſtory of St. Paul's,

and Carliſle, drawn up by him.

very good Reafon, in Queen Elizabeth's Time ; who for the beſt part
of her Reign, notwithſtanding what ſhe took away, made all the Bi-
ſhops of this See (who were every one of them married Men) pay and
refund (as fome Authors tell us) 1000l. per Ann. out of their Revenue,
towards keeping a Garriſon in thefe Parts, at Berwick, to awe the
Scots.
In King Edward the Vith's Time, this Biſhoprick was by Act of
Parliament (which ſee in our printed Books) diffolved and annihilated in
the laſt Year of his Reign ; but his Death happening foon after, Queen
Mary reſtored it again, with the whole Revenues of the Church.
What it fuffered in Queen Elizabeth's Reign, I ſhall give at Length,
as I took it from the Patents.
April 24. Ann. s. Edw. VI. 1551. the King granted to his Siſter, the
Lady Elizabeth, for her Life, Durham-Place in Weſtminſter, in St.
Martins Pariſh in the Strand.
[N. 2. This was reſtored, Anno 4. Maria, 1557. and the Rever-
fron,
after her Siſter's the faid Lady Elizabeth's Life, granted to Cuth-
bert Tonſtall, Biſhop of Durham, and his Succeſſors, and fo.it falling
Anno 1602. to the See of Durham again, was, 1661. as I have
heard, granted by Biſhop Coſin on a Building-Leafé, reſerving to him-
ſelf and Succeſſors a Fee-Farm Rent of about 200 l. which is now,

treat of the

pal See
BISHOPS of DURHAM.
N Anglia Sacra, Vol. I. there is a very good Account of the Biſhops
of this See from 635. to 1541. I ſhall briefly extract them, noting
that the ſixteen firſt were ſtyled
BISHOPS of Lindisfarne or Holy Iſland.
HESE were firſt, St. AIDAN, who Anno 635. fettled an epifco-
in a finall Iſland Co. Northumberland, called Lindif-
farne ; and dying Aug. 31. 651. was buried, as is fuppoſed by ſome
Writers, in Glaſtonbury Abby; tho' Wharton gives no Credit to this
Tradition, and mentions his being buried at Lindisfarne.
FINANUS fucceeded 651. and died on the 13th of the Calends of
March 661.
COLMAN ſucceeded 661. and quitted it, 664. to
TUDA, 664. He died next Year, and was ſucceeded by.
EATA, Anno 1665. (tho' he may more properly be ſtyled Biſhop of
Hexham.) He reſigned it Anno 684. and was ſucceeded by
ST. CUTHBERT, who became confecrated on Eaſter-Day 684. He
reſigned it 686. and died in about a Year afterwards, viz. March 20.
687. and was firſt buried at Lindisfarne, and afterwards removed to
Durham, where he had a moſt ſumptuous Shrine erected to his Memory
behind
i
Cathedral of DURHAM. 235
2
behind the High Altar of that Cathedral, which was on his Account
held in fo great Sanctity, that till 1310. no Biſhops durſt preſume to be
buried in the Cathedral, or any Prior lie there till 1374. as is told at
length in a Book entitled, The Rites of Durham.
EAD BERT fucceeded 687. and dying March 6.698. was buried at
Lindisfarne, near his Predeceffor, and fucceeded by
EGFRITH, Anno 698. IJaakſon and Wharton call him Eadfride.
He died 721. and was ſucceeded by
ETHELWOLD, Anno 721. as Heylin fays, or rather Anno 724. as
Iſaakſon and Wharton place it. He died Anno 740. and was fuc-
ceeded by
KENULPH, Anno 1740. He died Anno 781.
HIG BALD fucceeded 781. After him Heylin places one Ethelwine ;
but he being omitted by other Authors, I Mall paſs him by. As to
Higbald, he died May 25.803. and was fucceeded by
EGBERT confecrated June 11. 803. He died 821, and was ſuc-
ceeded by
HEATHOREDUS, Anno 821. He died Anno 828. as Wharton fixes
it, and was ſucceeded by
EGRED, or EG FRID, as Iſaackſon calls him, who places his coming
in, Anno 827. He died Anno 846. and was ſucceeded by
EANBERT, or EGBERT, Anno 846. He died 854. and was fuc-
ceeded by
E ARDUL P H, Anno 854. who fearing the barbarous Incurſions of the
Danes, fled Anno 875. from Lindisfarne for ſome time, and ſettling
at length at Cheſter, Co. Durham, Anno 883. or 884. He died Anno
900. after he had been Bithop forty fix Years. His Succeſſors, the next
eight, are reckoned be
*
BISHOPS of Cheſter on the Street.
T
HE firſt of theſe was CUTĦARD, who ſucceeded Eardulf, An.
900. He died Anno 915. and was ſucceeded by
TILRED, or TULRED, called alfo MILRED, who came in An.915.
and was ſucceeded by
* WIGRED, or WITHRED, Anno 929. He died. Anno 944. and was
fucceeded by
UCHTRED, Anno 944, or 945. To whom ſucceeded
SE XHELM, Anno 947. and to him, on his relinquiſhing it,
OF ALDRED, Anno 948. He died Anno 968. and was ſucceeded by
ALESIGUS
236 Biſhops of DURHAM.
...
E4DMU
,
ALFSIG U S, called alfo ALFius, or ELFSINUS; confecrated at
York, Anno 968. He died Anno 990. and was ſucceeded by
ALDHUN,
Anno 990. who Anno 995. removed the See to Durham,
with the Body of St. Cuthbert, when he had on Sept. 4. dedicated a new
Church. He died Anno 1017. and was buried in the Chapter-Houſe of
his new Church at Durham, the firſt regular Biſhop of which Place,
he, viz. the faid Aldhun, may properly be ſtyled; as his Succeſſors have
ever ſince been named
BISHOPS of DURHAM.
Nd became elected Anno 1020. He died Anno 1041. at Glow
ceſter, upon his Attendance of the King, and was thence convey'd
to Durham, and buried in the Chapter-Houſe, and fucceeded by
EADRED, Anno 1041. He died before he had been Biſhop eleven
Months, and was ſucceeded by
EGELRIC, Anno 1042. He quitted it Anno 1956. and afterwards
died a Prifoner in Weſtminſter Abby, Oet. 15. 1072. and was buried in
St. Chapel .
Egelric, who had reſigned to him. He was expelled this See by Wil-
liam I. ſtyled the Conqueror, King of England, Anno 1070. and dying
next Year, was buried in Abington Monaſtery. On his Expulſion,
Walcher, born in Lorain, became confecrated Biſhop of Durham
at Wincheſter, Anno 1072. He bought of the King the Earldom of
Northumberland; and engaging in temporal Buſineſs, drew on himſelf
for his Covetoufneſs ſo much the Hatred of the People, that he was at
length murdered May 14. 108o. and firſt buried in Farrow Monaſtery,
but afterwards remov'd to Durham Chapter-Houſe, and there interrd.
On his Death,
WILLIAM de Kairlepho, Abbot of St. Vincents in Normandy, was
nominated by the King, Nov. 9. 1080. and confecrated Jan. z. fol-
lowing. This Biſhop began building the preſent Cathedral; and dying
Fan. 2. 1095. was buried in the Chapter-Houſe, and ſucceeded, after
a Vacancy of near four Years by
RALPH FLAMBARD, nominated by the King of Whitſunday, May
29. 1099. and confecrated June 5. following, on Trinity-Sunday. He
carried on the Building of the Cathedral begun by his Predeceſſor, built
Norham Caſtle, Kepyre Hoſpital, and a Bridge over Durham River,
founded Motisfont Priory in Hampſhire, and was a great Benefactor to
Chrift-Church College in that County, of which, as Godwin fays, he
had

gave it to his See
had been Dean. He died Sept. 4, or 5: 1128. and was buried in the
Chapter-Houſe by his Predeceffor, and ſucceeded by
GEOFRY RUFUS, Chancellor of England, conſecrated Aug. 6. 1129:
as faith Godwin ; tho' in Anglia Sacra, Vol
. I. p.709. his Conſecra-
is placed Aug. 6. 1133. He died May 6. 1140. was buried in the Chap-
ter-Houſe, and fucceeded by
WILLIAM de St. Barbara, Dean of York, elected March 14. and
confecrated June 20. 1143. He died Nov. 14. 1152. was buried by
his Predeceffors, and ſucceeded by
HUGH PUDSEY, Treaſurer of York, and Archdeacon of Wincheſter,
confecrated Dec. 20. 1153. He built divers Houſes belonging to his
See from the Ground, made a fair Church and Houſe at Darlington,
founded Finchale Priory, purchaſed the rich Manour of Sedburgh, and
Durbam, and made the Gallilee at'the Weſt End of the Cathedral, and
tranſlated the Bones of Venerable Bede thither, founded Shirborn and
Allerton Hoſpitals, and purchaſed of King Richard I. the Earldom of
Northumberland, An. 1192. about two Years before his Death, which
happened March 3. 1194. in the ſeventieth Year of his Age; where-
upon his Body was convey'd to Durham, and buried in the Chapter-
Houſe. His Succeſſor was
and more
PHILIP of Poittiers, elected in November, 1195, and confecrated
May 12. 1197. He obtained leave to ſet up a Mint at Durham, and
coined Money there, ſome of which I have feen. Taking part wirh
King 7ohn againſt the Pope, he was on that account excommunicated, and
fo is ſaid by ſome Authors to have been buried without the Church by the
Hands of Laymen ; however, I find he was interred in the Chapter-Houſe.
He died April 22. 1207, and was ſucceeded, after ten Years Vacancy, by
RICHARD de Mariſco, Dean of Salisbury, and Archdeacon of
Northumberland, conſecrated at Gloceſter, July 2. 1217. He died
May 1. 1226.
1 2 26. having been a great Waſter of the Revenues of his
Church, which he left much in Debt, and was buried in the Chapter-
Houſe, and had this jingling Epitaph beſtowed on him by a Monk of this
Convent.

RICHARD POOR, Biſhop of Salisbury, in his ſtead, who obtain'd
the Royal Aſſent Fuly 22. 1228. He was a Man of rare Learning and
Integrity, and a great Benefactor to every Place he had relation to. Be-
ing 1215, made Biſhop of Chicheſter, he purchaſed unto that Church
Amport in Hampſhire ; and being thence, An. 1217. removed to Salif
bury, began An. 1219. the ſtately Cathedral there, now in Being,
eſteemed, for its elegant Architecture, one of the Wonders of the King-
dom, and founded a College in that City. At Durham he had much
to do to clear off a vaſt Debt of fourty thouſand Marks that his Prede-
ceffor Richard de Mariſco had left upon the See. He died April 15.
1237, at Tarrant Monaſtery in Dorfetfire, which he founded, and
was buried there, as Godwin tells : Tho' in Anglia Sacra it is exprefly
faid he was buried in Durham Chapter-Houſe, as it is alſo in the follow-
ing Infcription, remaining on a Tablet in Leland's Time in Salisbury
Cathedral, where is a Tomb erected to his Memory.

THOMAS Wolsey, Archbiſhop of York, Commendatory Biſhop of
Wells, reſigning that Biſhoprick, took this in lieu thereof, and had the

in Exchange for Wincheſter, which he retained till his Death, together
with the Archbiſhoprick of York, and Abbotſhip of St. Albans ; ſo that
what ſome people mention of his being depriv'd of St. Albans by the
Premunire, An. 1530. ſeems a Miſtake : for in a Book of Inſtitutions of
St. Albans I have peruſed, I find he gave in September, about two
Months before his Death, Inſtitution to St. Peter's Vicaridge in the
Town of St. Albans, by his Title of Commendatory Abbot. On his
Profits of it for one Year, till ſuch time as
CUTHBERT TONSTALL, Biſhop of London, became tranſlated hi-

Preferments were the Rectory of Harrow Co. Middleſex, Maſterſhip of
the Rolls, Archdeaconry of Cheſter, Deanary of Sarum, and a Pre-
bend in the Cathedrals of Lincoln and Sarum. He was a Man of in-
comparable good Learning, and endowed with rare Virtues, which the
Brevity of my Deſign does not allow me to expatiate upon, ſo muſt re-
fer to printed Authors for an Account of him; and ſhall only remark
here, that while he fate Biſhop, he built a fair Chapel and Gatehouſe at
his Palace at Durham, into which by leaden Pipes he brought Spring
or Conduit Water. In King Edward VIth's Reign, he was depriv'd's
that Prince's Courtiers, who coveted the Revenues of this See, having
prevailed to diffolve the Biſhoprick by Act of Parliament, in order to
get it for Dudley Duke of Northumberland, in like manner as Seymour
Duke of Somerſet, had got the Eſtate of the Biſhoprick of Wells. But,
as a certain Author remarks, the viſible Hand that wrote on the Wali
while Belthaſar was quaffing in the holy Veſſels, would not ſuffer this
Morſel to be ſwallow'd, and ſo the two Biſhopricks became reſtor'd,
whilſt the two Dukes were cut ſhorter by the Head. In ſome Accounts

in Nov. 1552. to have nominated Robert Horne, Dean of this Church,
to the Biſhoprick ; but he miſliking the Conditions, Nicholas Ridley,
Biſhop of London, was deſigned to be removed hither, if the King's
Death had not prevented it, which made way for Queen Mary's Accef-
fion to the Crown, who forthwith repealed all that had been done in
Prejudice to Biſhop Tonſtal and this Church, and reſtored back again
all the Poſſeſſions, except Durham-Houſe in the Strand, which was
given to her Sifter the Lady Elizabeth for Life, and came, as already
mention'd, again to the See, on her Death, An. 1602. ſhe holding it all
the forty four years of her Reign ; at the beginning of which, An. 1558.
Biſhop Tonſtall was a ſecond time depriv'd, and committed Priſoner to
Lambeth-Houſe, where he ended his Days in great Peace of Mind and
Conſcience, in the eighty fifth Year of his Age, Nov. 18.1559. and was
buried in Lambeth Pariſh-Church, with this Epitaph on his Graves
ſtone,

In his Will, proved Jan. 30. 1559. he order'd to be buried before the
Crucifix, or Rood Loft, of Durham Cathedral, if he died in his Dio-
ceſe ; or, if he died at London, in St. Paul's Cathedral, where he had
been Biſhop, near Thomas Linacre.
JAMES PILKINGTON, S.T. B. after the Deprivation of Tonſtall,
when the Church had been kept vacant ſome time, had the Royal Aſſent
to his Election Feb. 20. 1560. and became confecrated March 2. and
had the Temporalities reſtored March 25. 1561. But in the Patent for
the Reſtitution there was left out of it the Manours of Norbam and
,
again on certain Terms. While he fate here, he was, as may be ſeen
in a Book already cited, entitled, The Rites of Durham, too complying
with Whittingham, the Puritanical Dean of his Church, in ſuffering
him to deface the antient Monuments in the Cathedral. He died 7a-
nuary 23. 1575. as A. Wood tells us, at Biſhops-Aukland, leaving be-
hind him feveral Children, and was for a time buried there, but after-

Conteſt with Biſhop Pilkington's Widow for Dilapidations, and began
rectifying fome Abuſes, complaining much of his Predeceſſor Pilkington's
Remiffneſs, and ill Government, and that the Dioceſe hated him for ba-
nifhing Superſtition. But being a little ſettled, he fell to plundering his
See, alienating all he could from it, granting to Queen Elizabeth ſeve-
ral Manours ; among which, as Gardiner tells us in his Account of
Newcaſtle, was Gatefide, which he leaſed to the Queen April 28. 1582.

His Will, and thoſe of his Predeceſſors Ibo. Moreton and William
James, are in the Prerogative-Office at London ; as are the Wills of
Biſhops Richard de Kellaw, Tho. Hatfeild, Walter Skirlaw, and Tho.
Langley, in the Archives at Lambeth. After his Death the Duke of
Monmouth is ſaid to have receiv'd the Rents of this Biſhoprick, in the
Vacancy, for near three Years; during which time the City and County
of Durham were by Act of Parliament enabled to fend four Reprefen-
tatives to Parliament, which they never had done, unleſs in Cromwell's
Ufurpation, when Stockton Caſtle, one of the Biſhop's Palaces, was de-
moliſh'd. This having been endeavoured in Biſhop Cofin's Time, and
oppoſed by him, Care was taken to eſtabliſh it before the Translation
of his Succeſſor took place, who was

that Dioceſe from 1671. This generous Biſhop became, by the Death
of his elder Brother, who died without Iſſue Male, alſo a temporal Baron,

1559 and committed Priſoner to Wisbich Caſtle, Co. Cambridge, where

RALPH SKINNER, A. M. became inſtalled Dean, March 5. 1560.
He died Anno 1563. and was, as I judge, buried at Sedgfeild, where he
was Rector. On his Death,
WILLIAM WHITTINGHAM had this Dignity conferred upon him
July 19. 1563. of whom fee an Account in A. Wood, and the Hiſtory
of Durham, wherein he and Dean Horne are accufed of making violent
havock of all the antient Tombs, &c. in the Church, converting the
Stone Coffins to divers profane Uſes, for their Wives, &c. to falt Meat
in them in the Deanary-Houſe. He died June 10. 1579. having been,
as 'tis faid by fome Writers, never ordained a Miniſter of the Church of
England, and was buried in the Cathedral, where his Monument, foon
after the erecting it, met with the ſame Fate as he had treated others.
On it was this Inſcription :

tharine's Hoſpital, London, where no doubt he lies buried, tho'without
any Inſcription; for his Funeral was celebrated there June 17. 1581.

WILLIAM LE SCROOP was 1437. promoted to it, and held it
twenty fix Years, which is very probable. He died, and was buried in
York Cathedral, with this Epitaph:

His Succeſſor, as I judge, was
RALPH BOOTH, An. 1463. and that Laurence Booth, made Biſhop
here An. 1457. before his Tranſlation to York, collated him to it; as he
afterwards collated him about 1480. to York Archdeaconry, and that he
held both till his Death, An. 1497. when
ROGER LEYBORNE ſeems to have ſucceeded; for I find him
ſeſs’d of it 1499. In 1504. he was made Biſhop of Carliſle, and, as I
judge,
JOHN BOERNIUS, or Boerius Genenfis, a Foreigner, was intru-
ded on this Dignity by the Pope. On whoſe quitting it An. 1515.
WILLIAM FRANKLIN, B. D. ſucceeded An. 1515. He was An.

pyer, he furrender'd that Hoſpital to the King's Hands, as he did good
Part of the Revenues of Windſor Deanary; for which being complained
of An. 1553. he was forced to quit his Deanary, but kept his other
Preferments ; and dying about 1555. was probably buried obfcurely at

teen Miles about it, by Egfride King of Northumberland, on St. Cuth-
bert, Biſhop of Lindisfarne, and ſo became one part of it fubordinate
to the See of Durham, and the other to York; from which Diocefes it
was taken An. 1133. and fevered from the Archdeacons of Durham and

AS a Dean, four Prebendaries, who have all Houſes near the Cathe-

ing-Men, a Maſter of the Grammar School, fix Choritters, a Maſter of the
Choriſters, fix Almſimen, a Virger, two Sextons, a Porter, Barber, Cook,
Under-Cook, Divinity Reader, a Court-keeper, and Clerk of the
Court, in all forty four, by King Henry the VÎIIth's Foundation-Char,
ter, Anno 1542. at which time he converted the old Priory, or Convent,
into a College of Seculars, allotting his new Dean and Prebendaries
Apartments out of the Monks Habitations.
By an old Valor made on the firſt Endowment, or foon after, I find
the Deanary rated at reol, and each Prebend at 22h 5 2010
The firſt Builder of this Church was Walter, Deputy of theſe Parts
under King William Rufus, who dedicated it to the Bleſſed Virgin.
But it being a mean Fabrick in reſpect to other Cathedrals, Bihop Gil
dert de Welton, with the Affutance of ſome of the Priors, and help of
Money, as I prefume, left by Robert Ecclesfeild, Founder of Queen's
College, Oxon, began the Foundation of a new Choir about the Year
1354. which was perfected by his Succeffors, Bifhops Tho.de Appleby and
William Strickland, and the Contributions of the Nobility and Gentry
in thefe Parts, as may be judged by their Arms on the Roof, which is of
Wood neatly vaulted, and has theſe Coats painted on it, viz. Peircy,
Warren, Montague, Mortimer, Clifford, Greyſtock, Beuchamp, Dacre,
Muſgravé, Fitzhugh, Nevill, Vance, Curwen, Lamplugh, Lowther.
The other Parts of the Church, as the Croſs Ille, Tower in the Mid
dle, and Weſt End, are very meanly built, with ſmall Windows,
darkiſh and narrow ; and the Roof lies low, like a common Pariſh-
Church; as may be feen in Mr. Kyp's Draught, which is bere alſo gi-
ven, foraſmuch as it is the only triie Repreſention of it, the Draught in
the Monafticon by Daniel King, which is printed alſo on a Sheet of
imperial Paper, and in a leffer Size, being in no reſpect like it, and may
pals as well for my other Church as this. This Church contains iu
Length from Eaſt to Weſt now only 219 Foot tho' when the whole
Weſtern Part was ſtanding, it was 81 Foot longer : But this, with the
Square of the Cloiſters, being given in the Ichnography, as it ſtood

before it was demolith about 1646. I need only refer the Reader there-
The Breadth of the Body, and Side-Ifles of the Choir Part, is 71
Foot; equal to which is the Height of the Vaulting or Roof The
Length of the Croſs Ille from North to South is 124 Foot; being an-
fwerable to the Height of the Tower, which is 123 Foot; in it hang
five Bells, the only Peal of fo great a number in the Diocefe, except at
Penreth. Here are no Inſcriptions, or one Brafs, except Biſhop Bell's
and Biſhop Robinſon's, before 1660. neither can I find mention of any
that remained here an hundred Years ago, except this one, painted on the
Wall on the South Side, for one Skelton, who died An. 1420, and is
called here Sir John Skelton 2001

In a MSS. notat c. 39. in the College of Arms, or Heralds-Office,
London, is a Delineation of this Inſcription of Skelton, and of
Biſhops
Bell and Robinſon's Epitaphs, and Draughts of thirty one Coats of
Arms in the Choir, Roof, and Windows, and alſo a Proſpect of the
City, which makes but an indifferat Appearance, here being only one
ſmall Pariſh-Church without a Steeple, beſides the Cathedral, the We-
ftern Part or Nave of which is alſo Parochial, as I have already obſerved
in my Account of this Church and its Priors in the firft Volume of Ab-
bies; to which I beg leave to add, that Tbonas Barnaby occurs Prior
An. 1433. to whom fucceeded Tho. Hathwaite, about 1445. who built
the Bishop's Throne at the upper End of the Choir ; and to him, as I
judge, Thomas Goudibour, who held the Priorſhip An. 1484.
The clear Value of the Lands at the Diffolution, fettled on the Dean
and Chapter on the new Foundation, An. 1541. was 418 l. per An.
They then came into all the Priory's civil Rights, and lived, as the Con-
vent did, in a regular Diſcipline, dining in the Fratry, or Refectory,
and allotting the Dortry, or Dormitory, to the Choriſters and others,
till the great Rebellion ; ſoon after which, about 1646. all the Buildings
of the College, except the Refectory, or Fratry, and ſome few Offices,
with eighty one foot of the Cathedral, together with the whole Cloiſters,
were entirely pulled down, under a Pretext of employing the Materials
to build Guard-Houſes to ſecure the City. How ill this Sacrilege thrived
I have elſewhere told from my learned Friend Dr. Todd's Informations

Robert Ecclesfeild, Founder of Queen's College, Oxon. On the South
Side was painted the Legend of St. Auſtin, as was that of St. Cubbern
on the North. Over the Stalls were in Niches ſeveral ſmall Images of
Wood ; but theſe were taken away about 1649. as has been a finall
Spire of Lead, of about thirty Foot in Height, pulled off the Top of
the Tower. All the publick Buildings, as the Deanarys and four Pre
bendal Houſes, and two Houſes of Minor Canons within the Precincts,
were rebuilt for the moſt part fince 166o. The two Iles oir each Side
of the Choir are arched with Stone; and againſt the Biſhop's Throne, on
the Outſide, is a Veftry lately built. The decanal Stall is here on the

Alienations of LANDs of the Biſhoprick.
IN
N the Year 1551. in May, a Letter was wrote by King Edward
VI. with an order to the Biſhop of Carliſle, to make the Lord
Clinton a Leaſe of 60 Years of his Manour of Horncaſtle, after the ac-
cuſtomed yearly Rent, which was no doubt complied with ; for, on
Nov. 1. 1552. Biſhop Aldrich leaſed the fame to him, on a Reſervation
of 28 l. per An. to the Biſhoprick.
And in this Reign (viz. Edward VI.) the Rents of Carliſle Houſe in
the Strand, were made to the Marqueſs of Worceſter, on a reſerved
Rent of 16 l. per An. Thoſe are, as I conceive, now known by the
name of Beauford-Buildings; and by it, as Dr. Todd writes me, this
See fuffered a Diminution, tho' otherwife it eſcaped, Horncaſtle revert-
ing again to the See An. 1558. on Queen Mary's acceſſion to the Crown.
However, we are told in Carleton's Life of Bernard Gilpin, on his men-
tioning Biſhop Sandes of Worceſter's tempting him to accept of Carliſle
Biſhoprick, that he uſes this Argument - Intelliges interea epiſcopa-
tum illum inta&tum tibi relinquendum, nihil enim abfcinditur ex
ficut in aliis nonnullis fieri folet, fed & integrum epiſcopatum accipies.
And Dr. Heylin, ſpeaking of the ſaid Bernard Gilpin, fays, he would
not take it on the Terms Biſhop Beſt did, viz. ſtripping it of moſt of

its Feathers. But what he ſays, I judge was rather his Belief, or Opku
nion, than any real Grounds he had for it; becauſe I cannot diſcover
any thing done in Prejudice to this See, but what is before-mentioned :
For tho Biſhop Mey, to provide for his Family, would have leafed le-
veral things to his Wife and Children, yet the Dean and Chapter wor-
thily oppoſing him, they were all ſet aſide.
In the great Rebellion theſe Sales were made of the Lands of this

if he would accept thereof, yet he refuſed it, as did two others to whom
it was likewiſe offered, and ſo it lay vacant thirty two Years, no one

who, to make him amends, preferred him to Norwich, and gave this

and Canon of that Cathedral, Son of Robert Lord Roſs, or Roos, of

our Writers mention of his bold Speech in behalf of his Patron and de-

I ſhall not enlarge upon here, but refer to our many Hiſtories, who ſpeak
much in his Praiſes for it. As to his dying Heart-broken, which they
tell us) prevented his Execution, foon after his Deprivation, An. 1399.
it is plainly a Miſtake ; for he ſurvived it ten Years, and had, for his Sup
port, fome Preferment beſtowed on him ; as the Vicaridge of Starmier
was given him by the Crown, and the other by the Convent of Weſtmin.

for I find in an old MSS. Chronicle this: Epiſcopus Carliol. ad mag-
nam Inftantiam Amicorum ad Monaſterium ſuum de Weſtminſter redire

and dying poffefs'd thereof, I ſhall exhibit my Authority from the Re-

Archbiſhop of York, on the King's Recommendation of him to the Pope.
He was a great Benefactor to his Cathedral, as his Predeceſſor had been
to the Biſhoprick, by new building the Belfry, and furniſhing it with
four Bells, new roofing the Choir, and making handſom Stalls in it; as
Leland informs us, in his Collectanea, in theſe Words : Fecit magnum

fol. 353. in the Archives at Lambeth, dated Jan. 25. 1421. he gives
feveral Books to the Univerſity of Oxford, and particularly to Baliol-
College, and 201. to the Univerſity, and orders 361. 135. 4 d. to be
depolited in a Cheſt at Queen's-College, for the Benefit of poor
Scholars. Soon after which he departed this Life at London, in his
Palace there, Feb. 4. 1422. and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral
in that City. Among other Charitics, he is ſaid to give 200l. for found-
ing a Charity in his own Cathedral at Carliſle for one Skelton and Mr.
Iſle, where is yet to be ſeen the Tomb of the firſt; and probably the
unknown Monument on the oppoſite Side, referred to in the Ichnogra-
phy, may be in Memory of Glafton. His Succeffor in this See was
WILLIAM BARROW, LL. D. Biſhop of Bangor. He had been,
before he was made a Biſhop, Canon of Lincoln, Rector of St. Laud's
Church at Skirrington Co. Bucks, and of Helmdon Co. Northampton,
in that Dioceſe, Chancellor of the Univerſity of Oxon, and became
tranſlated from Bangor hither, An. 1423. and received the Temporalities
June 16. that Year. He died at Roſecaſtle Sept. 4. 1429. and was
buried in his own Cathedral, in a Chapel on the right Side the South
Iſle of the Choir, where yet remains his Effigies neatly. cut, in his Epif-
copal Habit. In his Will, dated Sept. 1. 1429. three Days before his
Death, he gives fome Plate to his Cathedral, and 20 l. to a Prieſt to ſing
for him in St. Catherine's Chantry within his own Church ; and be
queaths fome Lands and Tenements at Skirrington (where he ſeems to
have contributed towards the building the preſent Church) to his Kinſ-

who had the Temporalities reſtored OE. 1452. He died 1462. and was

and was confecrated at York, June 24. 1464. In his Will, dated in
May, 1468. on the 22d of which Month he died, he appointed to be
buried in his own Cathedral, before the high Altar ; which was accord-
ingly perform'd : Tho' I find no Memorial of him remaining. His Suc-
ceffor was
EDWARD STORY, S. T. P. Maſter of Pembroke-Hall, Cambridge,
Rector of Alhallows the Great, London, who had the Temporalities
reſtored him Seft. 1. 1468. He was An. 1478. tranſlated to Chicheſter,

Years (during which time he built a Tower at his Palace at Roſecaſtle,
which yet bears his Name) he betook himſelf again to a monaſtick
Life ; but whether he retired to Durham, or ended his Days in this
Convent, I know not : Tho' 'tis probable, as he lies buried, fo he de-
ceaſed here. In the Middle of the Choir, near the Litany-Desk, is a
large Marble, having his Effigies upon it in Brafs, and this Inſcription
round the Verge, being the only one whatſoever, except Skelton's, as a-,
foreſaid, before 1600.

dated July 17. 1507. he appointed to be buried in St. James's Hoſpi-
tal, near Charing-croſs, Weſtminſter, which I find was performed, by a
MSS. Note I have ſeen of his Death, which happened about the End of the
ſame Year, or Beginning of 1508. On his Death,
JOHN PENNY, LL. D. Abbat of Leiceſter, and Biſhop of Bangor,
was tranſlated to this See, June 20. 1509. He died An. 1520. and was
buried at St. Margaret's Church in Leiceſter, under a fine Alabaſter
Tomb, at the End of the North Ifie, having his Effigies curiouſly carved,
lying upon it in his epiſcopal Habit. I prefume his Burial here was oc-

Armagh in Ireland, who became confecrated to this See An. 1520. and

In his Will, dated June 18. and proved June 21. 1537. he ordered
to be buried near his Father's Grave in St. Margaret's Church Weſtmin-
ſter; tho' probably he altered his Mind, and appointed to be buried here,
According to Newcourt, he ſeems to have been Rector of Harlington
in Middleſex. While he fate Biſhop, he built alſo a Tower at Role-
caſtle, on the Weſt Side, which yet bears his Name. His Succef-
?
for was
ROBERT ALDRICH, S. T. P. Archdeacon of Colcheſter, Canon of
Windſor, firſt Schoolmaſter, and afterwards Provoſt of Eaton Guidabiles
Co. Bucks, nominated to this See by the King Jul. 18. 1537. On Aug. 7.
he had the Royal Aſſent, and had the Temporalities reſtored Aug. 24.
the ſame Month. He ſeems to have been a Man of the Times, a Com-
plier with all the Changes of Religion, to keep his Preferments, and ſo
I preſume was eaſily prevailed on, at the End of Edward the VIth's
Reign, to leaſe Horncaſtle; tho' that King's Death happening foon af-
ter, it was regain'd. He deceaſed there March 5. 1555. in his Palace
at Horncaſtle, and was buried in that Pariſh-Church, tho, there is no
Memorial of him, as I could diſcover in the Church. In his Will, in Re-
giftr. Kitchen. 231. 23. he ordered, if he died in his Dioceſe, to be bu-
ried in Carliſle Cathedral, and gave thereunto his Chapel Furniture.
On his Death,
OWEN OGLETHORPE, S.T. P. Preſident of Magdalen-College Oxon,
firſt Canon then Dean of Windſor, Rector of Newington, and Hafely Co.
Oxon, and St. Olave's Southwark, had the Temporalities delivered him
Oft. 27. 1556. and was conſecrated Aug. 15. 1557. By his Intereſt with
Q.Mary he procured the Collation to the Prebends, and in his Church the
Advowfons of thefe Livings in this Dioceſe, and in Cumberland, viz.

wards took away by Queen Elizabeth, who made him an ill Return
for his crowning her Queen (when all the other Biſhops had refuſed it)
by depriving him foon after, which is ſuppoſed to have ſhortened his
Days ; for he died Dec. 31. 1559, and was buried 7an. 4. 1559. in
St. Dunftan's Church in Fleetſtreet, London, without any Memorial.
In his Will, dated Nov. 10, and proved Jan. 13. 1559. he gives fome
ſmall Legacies in Charity. After his Deprivation, Bernard Gilpin, as I
have already mentioned, was offered this Bithoprick; but he refuſed to
accept hereof, ſo it was conferred upon
JOHN BEST, S.T. P. Prebendary of Wells, who became confecra-
ted March 2. 1560. and had the Temporalities reſtored April 18. 1561.
He died May 21. 1570, and was buried in the Cathedral, without any
Memorial, leaving behind him the Character of a learned and pious Man.
His Succeffor was
RICHARD BARNES, S. T. B. Suffragan Biſhop of Nottingham,
Chancellor and Prebendary of York, elected June 25. had the Royal
Affent July 15. and received the Temporalities Fuly 26. 1570. On
account, as was pretended, of the Exility of the Biſhoprick, he had
Licence granted him to hold his Chancellorſhip of York, with the Recto-
ries of Stokelley, Stangratt, Romaldkirk, all in Yorkſhire, in Commen-
dam. But I ſuppoſe it was rather to advance his Fortune, which he
was intent on, as a very worthy Member of this Church writes me,
and fo try'd all he could with the Chapter to alienate ſome of the Reve-
nues, being the firſt married Biſhop of this See, but was worthily op-
poſed by them; tho' on his Tranſlation, An. 1577. to Durham, he ef
fected it there, and granted away good Part of the Endowment of that
rich See, being a Perfon that had little Regard to the Hierarchy of the
Church, and a great Favourer of Puritans, as a learned Author calls
him. On his Promotion to Darbam
JOHN MEY, S. T. P. Maſter of Catherine-Hall, Cambridge, Pre-
bendary of Ely, Archdeacon of Eaft-Riding, and Rector of Darfeild,
ſucceeded, had the Royal Afſent Auguſt 9. 1577. was conſecrated Sept.
29. and had the Temporalities reſtored O&t. 8. following. By what I
learn from Carliſle, he much prefs'd the Chapter to confirm fome Leaſes
he had made of the Patrimony of this Biſhoprick to his Family ; but they
ever oppoſing him, the Revenues of this See were preſerved entire all Queen
Elizabeth's Reign; and on King James's Acceſſion to the Crown, an
Aet of Parliament made by that Prince, reſtraining thoſe Practices in
Bishops, hath preſerved this Church from Alienations, ſo that I find no-
thing diminiſhed of its antientEndowment, but the leaſing of Carliſle-

Rents in London. As to Biſhop Mey, he died Feb. 15. 1597. at Roſe-
caſtle, and was buried in the Cathedral, without any Memorial, leav-
ing behind him a Widow and ſeveral Children ; which Widow dying at
her Son-in-Law's Houſe, Richard Pilkington, Rector of Hambledon
Co. Bucks, was there buried, as I find by that Pariſh-Regiſter, Dec.
20. 1620. which ſtyles her Amey Mey, Widow to the Biſhop of Car-
lille. On Biſhop Mey's Death,
HENRY ROBINSON, S.T. P. Provoſt of Queen's-College Oxon.
was elected May 27. 1598. confirmed July 22. and confecrated July
23. following. This pious and charitable good Man, of whoſe Bene-
factions to Queen's-College fee an Account in A. Wood, died June 19.
1616. and was buried in the Cathedral, on the North Side the high
Altar, where was put up over his Grave an Inſcription on a Brafs Plate,
much the ſame with that in Queen's-College Chapel, printed in A. Wood,
tho' without the Verſes on it, which are on the real Monument in Car-
liſle Cathedral, which bears this Inſcription :

RICHARD SNOWDEN, S. T. P. (Prebendary of Southwell in his
native County of Nottingham ) ſucceeded, being elected Sept. 1 2.' and
confecrated Nov. 24. 1616. A. Wood ſays, he deceafed at London in
Parliament-time; but by what I am inform'd from Tradition of his Re-
lations in theſe Parts, he died at Roſecaſtle, and was buried in the
Cathedral without any Monument ; his Son, to whom he left a good
Eſtate, not affording him any. His Succeffor was
RICHARD MILBOURNE, S. T. P. tranſlated from St. David's
to this See ; Conge d' Lire dated June 21. 1621. He had been, be-
fore he was Biſhop, Dean of Rocheſter, Rector of Cheam Co. Surrey,
and Vicar of Sevenoke in Kent. He was defcended from a good Family
of his Name, and born at Hellerbeck, in Gilleſland Co. Cumberland,
and

and not in London, nor of Welch Parentage, as A. Wood tells us. Af-
ter he had ſcarce fate here three Years, he died, and was buried in
the Cathedral Cemitery, leaving what he had to charitable Uſes.
RICHARD SENHOUSE, S. T, P. born at Alneburgh-Hall, Co.
Cumberland, Dean of Glouceſter, ſucceeded, being confecrated Sept. 16.
1624. He died about May 1626. by a Fall from an Horſe, as we are
told in his Funeral-Sermon, preached in the Cathedral of Carliſle, where
he lies buried without any Inſcription. On his Death,
FRANCIS WHITE, S. T. P. Rector of Broughton-Aſhley, Dean
of this Church, became confecrated Biſhop Dec. 3. 1626.
He was
1628. tranſlated to Norwich, and thence removed to Ely; and dy-
ing at London 1637. was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral, London,
without any Memorial. His Succeſſor in this Church was
BARNABAS POTTER, S. T. P. Provoſt of Queen's-College, Ox011,
confecrated March 15. 1628. He died in January 1641. and was bu-
ried in St. Paul's Content Garden Church, Weſtminſter, without any
Memorial. On his Death, the moſt learned
JAMES U S'H ER, S. T. P. Archbiſhop of Armagh in Ireland, re-
ceived Adminiſtration of the Temporalities Febr. 16. 1641, and held it
to his Death, which happened March 21. 1655. at Ryegate in Surry.
He was buried in Weſtminſter Abby, as we are inform'd in his printed
Life;. Wliere is given the following Epitaph, deſigned to be put up on

Benefactor to his Epifcopal Palace at Roſecaſtle, the Chapel of which
he rebuilt ; and deceaſing there in the 76th Year of his Age, was buried
in the Churchyard of Great Dalſton, in which Pariſh Roſecaſtle

but beſtowing a new Organ on the Choir, and furniſhing the Commu-
nion-Table with a Set of Plate doubly gilt, building the Regiſters-of-
fice, and erecting a Library. Beſides what he did at his Epiſcopal Palace,
and in other Parts of the Dioceſe, which daily partook of his Charities :
At Appleby, near where he was born, he contributed liberally to the Free-
School, and made a Piazza for the Market-People, and gave an Organ to
St. Laurence Church in that Town; at Penrith he gave 500 l. to aug-
ment the Vicaridge. Not to mention his Benefactions to Queen's College,
Oxon, where he had been Fellow, or his building entirely his Preben-
dal Houſe at Durham, or his leſſer Works of Piety, he may be faid
every Day of his Life to be beſtowing ſomewhat on the Publick, having
no Family to provide for. He died An. 1702. in the eighty eighth Year
of his Age, and was buried in the Cathedral, within the Communion-
Rails, with an Infcription on his Graveſtone, being the only Epitaph of

HIS Dignity, with its Corpſe, viz. the Rectory of Salkeld an-
nexed, was rated An. 1534. 26 Hen. VIII. at 221. 1os. 10d.
* ROBERT was doubtleſs the firſt that held this Dignity ; for we
meet with him ſtyled Archdeacon An. 113 3. on the erecting this See.
* WILLIAM Archdeacon of Carliſle, was 1150. Witneſs to a Char,
ter of Wedderal Priory. After him I find one

AUMERIC de Tailboys, Rector of Dalfton, Nephew to Biſhop Poi-

GERVASE de Lowther, An. 1230. and

WALTER de Ulceby about 1 245.
H- I ſuppoſe Henry, was poffefs'd of it 1260. as was

GILBERT de Halton fucceeded, and held it 1311. as did
THOMAS de Caldbeck, An. 1318. and
HENRY de Carliol, An. 1320. to whom fucceeded
WILLIAM de Kendale, An. 13 23. And after him I find
RICHÁRD de Arthuret preferred to it 1354. to whom fucceeded
WILLIAM de Rothbury about 1356. In his Will, dated 1363. he
appointed to be buried in Salkeld Churchyard. On his Death,
John de Appleby occurs poſſeſs’d of it 1364. as does
* HUMPHREY de Tbirland, An. 1373. as Dr. Todd informs me.
However I find
JOHN
.
306
Archdeacons of CARLISLE
*
* JOHN de Appleby, Archdeacon An. 1380. I prefume he died An.
1389. Dean of St. Paul's, Landon. The next is
* THOMAS STRICKLAND, he occurs An. 1406. His Will bears
Date An. 1419. foon after which I fuppoſe he died, and was ſuc-
ceeded by
* ALEXANDER COKx, for I find him poffeffed of it 1427, and 1432.
His Succeſſor was
* STEPHEN CLOSE, preferred, as I judge, by Biſhop Cloſe, who
died 1453. He was alſo Prebendary of Lincoln, and dying 1470. was
buried at Salkeld, in the Chancel, with this Inſcription on his Grave-
ſtone:
Ozate pro Aninia Stephani Cloſe, Ketonis * Archidiaconi, qui moza

As he is ſtyled Prebendary of this Church, I conceive Mr. Le Neve's
mention of
RICHARD SYBSON, S. T. P. of Glaſgow Univerſity in Scotland,
his being collated to this Stall An. 1602. is a Miſtake; for
RICHARD SNODEN, who was certainly collated to it An. 1617.
and, as I ſuppoſe, ſucceeded on Brunny's Death. He was alſo Vicar of
St. Oſwald's Durham, and reſigning this Prebend, was ſucceeded by

preſume he did not accept of, and that Edw.VI. might on that account

Chapels and Donatives, neither of which are in the Valor Beneficiorum,

Peter, who continucd Biſhop but about twenty Years, and died, and
was buried in St. John's Church in this City, which was the antient
Cathedral; yet ſeveral of his Succeſſors in the See denominated themſelves
Bishops of Cheſter inſtead of Lichfeild, and choſe rather that Style, as
is apparent from our Records : Tho' the proper Biſhops of Cheſter may
be accounted only thoſe who were ſettied after 1541. in St. Werburgb's
Abby, and have continued ever lince as I ſhall deſcribe them.

Biſhop, Dean, fix Prebendaries, od all of them Houſes out of the Build-

or Prebendaries, he eſtabliſhed fix Minor-Canons or Prieſts-Vicars, a
Deacon, fix Singing-Men or Conducts, fix Choriſters, two Maſters of
the Grammar-School, twenty four Scholars, fix Almſmen, a Virger, two
Sextons, two Porters, of which one to be a Barber, à Cook, and Un-

Aug. 4. 1541.
In King's Vale Royal (á Folio Book fo entitled) are feveral curious
before 1641. given us ; which are, together with the Arms in the Win-
dows, &c. preſerved in Digdale's and Aſhmole's MSS. at the Heralds-
Office, London, and the Malaum in Oxford, as well as the Lord Hat-
ton's Library ; but theſe are very inconfiderable, it being plain, that be-
fides Biſhop Downham's Inſcription on his Graveſtone, there were an
hundred Years ago only theſe four following Epitaphs before 1600.
And as thoſe are in the South Croſs-Ide ſeparated from the Cathedral, and
appropriated to the Uſe of St. Oſwald's Pariſh, tho' I might be excuſed

Proh dolor! in muro jacet hic lub marmoze duro

In Mr. Dodſworth's MSS. in the publick Library at Oxon, is exhibited
fome Account of what Antiquities remained in St. John's Church,
which was reputed the antient Cathedral, and was truly a magnificent
Fabrick, and extended itſelf Eaſt, Weſt, North, and South, conſidera-
bly farther than the preſent Church; as may be difcerned by any Perfon
that obfèrves where it has been ſhorten'd in every Part, and contracted at
the End of the Croſs every where ; as has been the Tower or Steeple
removed from the Middle, on account of its falling down in Queen Eli-
zabeth's time, An. 1574. and ſet at the Weſt End thereof. An. 1581. as
my Author tells us, the Pariſhioners having obtained the Church of the
Queen, began to build up Part of it again, and cut off all the Chapels
above the Choir : Before which it ſeemeth to me to have been at firſt no
ways

Cathedral of Chester. 321
و
Ways inferior to that of St. Werburgh's for Largeneſs, where Hen. VIII.
fixed the Cathedral Church : Which I ſhall fomewhat briefly deſcribe,
by informing my Reader, That the ſaid Cathedral (is a large Pile of
Building, and for the moſt part very regular and uniform, tho' built
at ſeveral times ; the Side-Iles, Nave, and South Tranſept being all
of a piece. The only old Part of the whole Structure ſeems to be
the North Tranſept and Chapter-Houſe, which appear to be very
antient. Theſe new Parts of the Church (which compriſe all but the
faid New Tranfept) ſeem to have been erected and re-edified tempore
Edw. IV. and Hen. VII. by the Abbats Oldham, Ripley, and Birchen-
fhaw; who, as I judge by the Foundation of Arches ſpringing from the
Walls, intended to vault the whole Nave, or middle Ifle, which being
left unfiniſhed, has remained fo ever ſince; there being no part of this
Church vaulted but the Lady-Chapel and Side-Iſles of the Choir Part,
the reſt being left open, with the Beams, &c. appearing under the Lead,
like a Pariſh Church ; tho' the Choir Roof being newly plank'd with Mo-
ney rais'd by a Brief, An. 1708. is moulded with ſome Bolection-Work.
The Stalls of the Choir are very neat, being excellently well wrought
with Tabernacle-Work : They are forty eight in number, viz. twenty four
on each Side. At the upper End of them, on the South Side, is the Biſhop's
Throne ; and oppoſite to it, on the North Side, the Pulpit, cloſe to which
is the Archdeacon of Richmond's Stall, as is the Archdeacon of Cheſter's
adjoining to the Bithop's Throne. Over the Rood-Loft, or Choir-En-
trance, is the Organ, which is a new one, and facing the Nave of the
Church and high Altar, makes a good Appearance. On the North Side is
the old Organ-Loft, the Pipes of which being handſomly painted are ſtill
remaining. In the Weſt Part of the Church, opening into the North
Ille, was one Way into the Abbacy. It is now the Biſhop's Palace. This
adjoined to the Cloiſters on the Weſt Side ; which Cloiſters were ſquare,
and extended a hundred Foot every way, and opened by two Doors in-
to the North Iſle of the Cathedral. Over the Weſt Part was a noble
Hall, belonging to the Abby, or rather Abbat ; for the Monks had their
Hall or Fratry on the North Side the Cloiſters, and adjoining thereto,
part of which is now the Free-ſchool. The Abbat's Hall, ſince part of the
the Biſhop's Palace, being An.1649. ſtrip'dof its Lead, has, with Part of the
Cloiſters, gone to great Decay; as has alſo, for the ſame reaſon, the Chapter-
houfe, which opens into the North Tranſept by a Paſſage cut thro', the old
grand Entrance was into the Eaſt Cloiſter. This being a large venerable
Building, (not improbably ſuppoſed to have been originally an Oratory to
a Convent, before Hagh Lupas's Foundation] was deſigned by the preſent
worthy, Biſhop to be repaired and fitted up again, and converted into a Li-
brary :
322 Abbats of CHESTER.
brary: Which good Work the Biſhop kaving begun, and liberally con-
tributed to, there is no doubt but his Example will be followed. Moſt
of the Offices of the Abby have had the good Fortune to be tolera-
bly preſerved, tho' built with a red mouldering Stone, and ſeem to look
much older than really they are. The Tower of the Church, which ſtands
on four Pillars in the Middle, was deſigned, as they have a Tradition here,
to ſupport a lofty Spiré : Tis only 127 Foot in Height, and has in it five
large Bells, recaſt An. 1604. and 1605. in Biſhop Lloyd's time; in whole
Predeceſſor's time, An. 1599. the whole Nave of the Church was flag-
ged, and paved throughout. The Length of the whole Fabrick is
348 Foot from Eaſt to Weit; the Breadth of the Body and Side-Illes
are agreeable to the Height of the Roof, which is 73 Foot: But theſe Di-
menſions will be beft diſtinguished and underſtood by the Ichnography here
annex’d, which has References not only to all the old Tombs before 1600.
but even to thofe erected fince. And as to the antient Graveſtones,
they being but few, and thofe moſtly of Abbats, I fhall crave leave
to inſert an entire Catalogue of the Abbats, notwithſtanding the Series
of them already publiſhed in my firft Vol. of Abbies ; forafmuch as I have
lately received from the Rev. Mr. Stanes, Minor-Canoni of this Church,
a very
ry curious Account of their Succellion and Place of Burial, which
I hope may not be unacceptable, fince I have hereby the Opportunity
(which I am always glad of) to correct and improve what I have before
printed. 10

As to Lay-Perſons interred here, I find John Arnway, who had
been ten times ſucceſſively Mayor of Cheſter, and died 1278. is faid to
be buried before St. Leonard's Altar, in the South Part of the Church,
where he founded two Chantry-Chaplains. As is Richard de Capen-
hurſt, ſaid to be buried before the high Altar ; he died An. 1349. And
Richard de Manlegh, who died An. 1366. They were doubtleſs Bene-
factors to the Abby. The antient Earls of Cheſter were interred in the
Chapter-houſe, as appears by our Hiſtories; but there remain no Tombs
or Inſcriptions for them. And as to the ſuppoſed Monument of Hen-
ry IV. Emperor of Germany, in this Church, it is plainly a Miſtake and
vulgar Error : He deceaſed at Spires at Germany, being buried there,
as our Authors tell us.

OHN BIRD, S.T. P. who had, on account of fome Sermons he preach'd
againſt the Pope's Supremacy, recommended himſelf ſo much to King
Henry the VIIIth's Favour, as to be made Bishop of Bangor, was by
that Prince tranſlated hither, on his founding this Biſhoprick, Aug. 5.
1541. At which time it was made Suffragan to Canterbury; but April
13. following, An. 1542. it was ſubjected to York, and Biſhop Bird
made his Profeflion of Obedience to that Archbiſhop. Having in the
Hiſtory of Bangor. Cathedral given an Account of this Biſhop, I ſhall
ſay the leſs of him here. I have already noted, that A1 1546, he
granted away all the Manours and Demeſnes of this Biſhoprick, and ac-
cepted of Impropriations in lieu thereof. But notwithſtanding this
Grant, in which no doubt he got conſiderably from the Courtiers, he
was, An. 1553. on Queen Mary's Acceſſion to the Crown, ſo overrun
with Debt, that he owed 10871. 18 s. for Tenths and Subſidies, which
was a great Sum in thoſe times, and would poſſibly have been
remitted him, but thro' his Interelt with Biſhop Banners with whom her
complied in every reſpect, as he had done in all Changes of Government
and Religion, and fo would doubtlefs have been ſuffered to keep his.

there, being very aged, viz. about 81. and was buried in the Church of
Dunmor (as I learn from a MSS. Note of Pale) without any Memo-

After his Death,
GERRARD MASSIE, S. T: P. Rector of Wigan, was nominated by
King James to this See, who going up to London to ſettle Matters in
order to his Confecration, died there Fan. 16. 1615. and was buried in
St. Mary le Savoy Church in Weſtminſter, without any Memorial. Le
Neve tells us he was nominated Biſhop An. 1618. after Biſhop Moreton ;
whereas it is evident he was deceaſed long before the Election of
THOMAS MORETON, S. T. P. Dean of Wincheſter, Rector of
Stockport in this Dioceſe, which bears Date May 22. 1616. as does his
Confírmation July 5. and Confecration Fuly 7. following. He was A11.

other Writers, are all miſtaken as to his Death An. 1648, or 1649. and
Burial at Cheſter ; whereas he did not die till 1652. as A. Wood tells us,
or rather, as I have lately been informed, till 1657, or 1658. When
Shropſhire, he was buried at Kinnerſley Church, near Moreton aforeſaid,
with this Inſcription on a blue Stone in the Chancel, without

In the Cathedral of Cheſter is erected alſo this Infcription verbatim

real Body lies in Wigan Chancel; where alſo his Wife was buried, who
deceaſed the Year after him. She gave a Benefaction to Wigan Town
and has on that account her Name put upon a Tablet, where ſhe is callid

JOHN WILKINS, S.T. P. (Warden of Wadham-College, Oxon, in
Oliver Cromwell's time, whoſe Siſter he had married, and after the Re-
ftauration, Dean of Rippon, and Prebendary of York) conſecrated Nov.
15. 1668. He died Nov. 19, and was buried Dec. 12. 1672. in the
Church of St. Laurence Jewry, London, of which he had been Mini-
fter, without any Memorial, leaving behind him the Character of having
been an univerſal Scholar. His Succeſſor was

Prebendary of Sarim and Ely, and Archdeacon of Surry (which latt
he held in commendam with the Rectory of Wigan in Lancaſhire,
as his two Predeceſſors had done Wigan Rectory) confecrated Feb. 9.
1672. This excellent Biſhop, whoſe Memory will live by his learned
Expoſition on the Creed, died July 16. 1686. and was buried with-
out the leaſt Inſcription or Graveſtone, within the Communion Rails
of his own Cathedral. In his Will, dated Jan. 2. 1677. which has a
Codicil added to it, dated June 18. 1685. he gave twenty Pounds to
the Poor of St. Oſwald's in Cheſter City, twenty Pounds to Great Sno-

Barking in Eſſex, Prebendary of London, Wells, and Durham, was
conſecrated to this See, with Licence to hold Wigan Rectory in commen-

PREBENDARIES of CHESTER.
Teixe a Series
o give a Series of the Prebendaries in this Cathedral digeſted into
Stalls, as in the preceding ones of Tork, Durham, and Carliſle,
is not ſo very practicable; for, on a Vacancy, the new Prebendary is in-
ſtalled into the loweſt Stall, and not into that of his Predeceſſor How
ever, as my Authorities furniſh me with almoſt all the Accounts how
each Vacancy was filled, I can particularly thereby conjecture, with pret-
ty good Authority, except in one or two, that had the vacant Stalls been
aſcertain’d from the Beginning, as in the other Churches, the Succeſſion
would probably have ſtood as follows:

the Walls of Peel-Caſtle, to which there is no acceſs but at low Water,
and even then no good coming; which being alſo the Caſe of Kirk Pa-

Church for the Pariſhioners in a more commodious Place, the Inconve-
nience attending St. German's Pariſh being provided for by the Chapel
at Peel Town.

1656. may be ſeen a Draught of this Cathedral, and Kirk Patrick
Church, the Abby of Rzylber, and Nunnery of Douglaſs, which, with
the Houſe of Friars in Kirk Arbory, founded Am. 1373. were the only
religious Houſes in this Iſland. The firſt of theſe, viz. Rufhen, reputed
the uſual Burial-Place of the Kings of Man, appears by the Ruins to
have been an elegant Structure. Here is alſo, among other Buildings,
given a Draught or Proſpect of the Epiſcopal Palace, which ſtands in
Kirk Michael Pariſh.
But beſides the Draught in King, there is publiſhed in Steven's Eng-
liſh Monafticon, a South-Weſt Proſpect of the Cathedral; and in the
new Edition of Cambden's Britannia, by Biſhop Gibſon, we have ſome
Account how the Biſhops of this Iſle came to be entitled Biſhops of Sodor.
of which all I need add, is, that about 1098. when Maguus King of
Norway had conquer'd Man and the Iſles, the two Sees of Sodor and
Man were ſaid to be united into one, which having continued fo for
235 Years, viz. till Edward IIId's time, about 1333. has occaſioned the
Bithops of this Ille, even to this Day, to retain both Titles, notwith-
ſtanding Sodor itſelf which is ſaid to be an obfcure Village in St. Columb's
Ile in Scotland, where Pope Gregory IV. planted a Biſhop's See An. 840.
has, after its Separation from Man many Ages ago, been long ſince ſwal-
lowed up in the Sees of Orkney and the Iles, while Scotland had Bi-
Thops. And, laſtly, as to the Juriſdiction of the Archbiſhop of Dron-
theim in Norway, ſpoken of by our Writers, and their confecrating the
Biſhop of Man, I cannot find any good Authority confirming their exer-
ciſing Juriſdiction here, or diſcover that any Bithop received Conſecra-
tion in Norway, except Laurence, and that was by a particular Acci-
dent. And this I am the better enabled to ſpeak to, foraſmuch as the
preſent moſt primitive Bilhop, who has generouſly communicated to me
an Account of this See, has not been able to meet with any Information
about it, and on his fending to Norway, could only be informed that
their Regiſters at Drontheim (if any) were burnt. But I haſten to treat
of the Biſhops ; in difcourſing of whom I ſhall beg leave to include

Bishops of MAN.
HIS INand became very early the Seat of a Biſhop,
AMPHIBALUS being reported to have preſided as ſuch abont
the Year 360. Tho' better Authorities inform us, that St. Patrick, the
Iriſh Apoſtle, founded this See, and appointed
GERMANUS firſt Biſhop here An. 447. and after him confecrated
CONINDRIUS, and
ROMULUS, Biſhops of this Ifle; and that five Years after the faid
Patrick's Death,
MACHUTUS, called alſo Machilla and Maughold, fate Biſhop here
An. 498, and 518. He veiled St. Bridget a Nun, to whom a Church
is dedicated, as well as one to himſelf, in this Iſland. The next Bishop
that occurs, is
CONANUS, Tutor to Eugenius King of Scotland, who died Jan. 26
An.648. He had the Tuition of histhree Sons in this Ille, which was antiéntly
in ſuch Repute, that the Scotch Hiſtories mention an Ordinance to be
made for the Education of the Heirs of that Crown by the Biſhops herok
Who ſucceeded him we have no account, for our Hiſtories only furnilir
the bare Names of
* St. CONTENTUS,
* St. BLA DU'S,
St. MALCHU s, and
TORKINU , who lived An. 889. and is ſtyled Bihop of Sodor, as
are the preceding Biſhops.
* ROOLWER, faid to be buried at St. Maughold's ;
* WILLIAM; and
BRENDINU S, to whom a Church in this Iand is dedicated. Nor do
we meet with any mention of this See till the Year 1998. when Matthéra
Paris tells us, that the two Sees of Sodor and Man were united into one..
WYMUNDUS, or R EYMUNDUS, (called alfo Hamundus Son of
Fole in the Manks Chronicle) a Monk of Sais in Normandy, was cons.
fecrated the firſt Bifhop by Thomas Archbiſhop of York, who died An.
1113, Mr. Le Neve fuppofes his calling him the firſt Billiop, was it
regard that he became the firſt Biſhop of Sodor and Man after this See
was appointed one of the Suffragans to the Province of Pork. This Bi-
Shop was deprived An. 1151. and had, as Sacheverell tells us, his Eyes
put out. His Succeffor, as we learn from Mattbew Paris, was

He is ſaid to have been confecrated by Roger Archbiſhop of York, who
cording to Sacheverell,
REGINALD, a Norwegian, was Biſhop here, who obtained a Grant
of the third Part of the Tythes of this Illand. To him ſucceeded
CHRISTIAN Archadienfis, (i, e. a Scot, a Native of Orkney, as
I take it) who lies buried in Benchor Monaſtery in Ireland, and had to
his Succeſſori
MICHAEL, a Mankſman, who dying An. 1203. was buried in
Fountains Abby Co. Tork, and fucceeded by
NICHOLAS de Meaux, Abbat of Furneſs in Lancaſhire, An. 1203.
in King John's time ; in whoſe Reign Prynn intimates this See was fub-
jected to York. He is reported to go into Ireland to viſit Benchor Mo-
naſtery, and that dying there An. 1 217. he was buried in that Priory;
tho' I preſume he then only reſigned his Biſhoprick, for in the Monaſti-
con, Vol. I. p. 506. he occurs An. 1227. by the Name of N. quondam
Manniæ & infularum Epifcopus, as Witneſs to a Charter of Stainfeild
Priory. His Succeſſor was
REGINALD, & Perſon of royal Extraction, Nephew to King Olave
conſecrated An. 1217. He was a moſt exemplary Governour, and dying
about the Year 1226. was buried in Ruben Abby with his Anceſtors,
and ſucceeded by
JOHN, Son of Hefare, or Harfere, An. 1226. who by the Negli-
gence of his Servants was unfortunately burnt. He was buried at Jere-
was (I prefume Jervaulx Abby, called alfo Ferwas, Co. Pork.)
After him
SIMON Archadienſis, an Orkney Man, occurs Biſhop An. 1229. He
was a Man of great Learning and Prudence, held a Synod An. 1239.
made thirteen Canons, which ſee in the Monaſticon Anglicanum. He
died in his Palace in Kirk Michael An. 1249, and was buried in St. Ger-
man's Cathedral at Peel, which he had begun to build. On his Death,
LAURENCE, Archdeacon of Man, was elected Biſhop An. 1249.
who being at the fame time on Attendance upon Harold King of this ifle
in Norway, received Confecration at the Hands of the Metropolitan of
that Kingdom ; which is the only Inſtance I find of the Archbiſhop of
Drontheim's confecrating any Biſhop here. He had the Misfortune to
be ſhipwreck d, and drowned the ſame Year, fo he never came home to
take poſſeffion of this Dignity, which was, after ſome Vacancy, next

times callid Mauritius, promoted by Alexander the IIId King of Scot-
land An. 1275. according to ſome Accounts, or, as in others, An. 1280.
He was on ſome Difference, as Sacheverall intimates, banith'd by the
Natives; but they being interdięted for it, were glad to recal him, and
lay a Smoke-Penny, by Way of Commutation on every Houſe,
which is I think yet paid. He held a Synod at Kirk Brad.
dan in March, An. 1291, and made there thirty nine Canons. He died
A. 1303. having been ſometime blind, and was buried in St. German's
Cathedral in Peel. After him

THOMAS, who was alſo a Scotſman, about 1334. In this Biſhop's
Time this Ifand was entirely recovered and taken away from Scotland,
and ſo he was the laſt Biſhop made by them. He died Sept. 20. 1348.
and was buried at Scoon in Scotland,
WILLIAM Russel, a Mankſman, Abbat of Reken, fucceeded,
being confecrated at Avignion, by Pope Clement, An. 1348. He is faid
to have reſiſted ſome Encroachments which the See of Drontbeim wou'd
have impoſed, and to have entirely ſhook off that Biſhop. He held a
Synod at St. Michael's, in which five additional Canons were made.
He died April 21. 1374, and was buried in Furneſs Abby. His Succef-
JOHN DUNKAN, a Native of Man, elected May 21, 1374. and

JOHN GRENE, called alfo Sprotton, (as I prefume, from the Place of
bis Birth, not far from Dunchurch, Co. Warwick; of which he became
Vicar An. 1414.) occurs poſſeſſed of Dunchurch and this See An. 1448.
which he likewiſe held An. 1454. and was not long after, ſucceeded by
THOMAS BURTON, who dying in March 1457. one
* THOMAS is faid to be elected Biſhop here June 21. 1458. on the
Death of Ibomas Burton. I take him to be the ſame with
9 THOMAS, Abbat of Vale Royal in Cheſhire, who occurs Biſhop here,
in Mr. Wharton's Collections, in July 1466. and that on his Death,
which no doubt happen'd at Vale Royal, and Burial there, An. 1480.
RICHARD OLDHAM, Abbat of Cheſter, was promoted to this See
An. 1481. He died Sept. 19. 1486. and was buried in Cheſter Abby,
as I learn, without any Monument now remaining, and fucceeded by.
HUAN HESKETH, called in Sacheverell, Hugh Hesketh; and in
Le Neve, Huan Blackleach; confecrated An. 1487. In his time Tho.
Stanley, King of Man, and Earl of Derby, by his Charter, dated
March 28. 1505. confirmed to him and his Succeſſors the Tythes and
Poffeffions which his Predeceſſors Kings of Man had given to former Bi-
fhops ; and particularly granted the Cathedral Church in the Iſland
Holm, Sodor, or Peel, with St. Patrick's Church there, and other
Churches in Man, as may be ſeen in the Charter in the Monaſticon,
Vol. I. pag. 718. He died An. 1510. and was buried in his Cathedral
of St. German's in Peel.
In a glaſs Window of the Chapel in his Houſe at Blackleach Hall,
and alfo in other Parts of that Houſe, in Latham Lordſhip Co. Lança-

He was, as I find in the aforeſaid MSS. born at Blackleach-Hall, and
eldeſt Brother of that Houſe, and built the Chapel at Blackleach; and
that on his Death, as we are inform'd in the ſame Account,
THOMAS STANLEY, a Bafe Son of Stanley Lord Montegle, of Horn-
by-Caſtle Co. Lancaſter, was made Biſhop, and, on account of his Ba-
Stardy, obtained leave from the Pope to hold his Preferments, eſpecially
the Rectory of Wigan, which I ſuppoſe he had firſt given him. He was
alfo Parfon of Nerth-Meales, and at length of Berwick-in-Elmer, and
Badſworth Co. York. In his time, viz. 1542. as we learn in our Sta-
tute-Books, Att An. 33. Hen. VIII. Ch. 31. an Act of Parliament was
made for diſſevering the new erected Sce of Cheſter, and Biſhoprick of
the Idle of Man from the Juriſdiction of Canterbury, and annexing theor
to York: which I ſuppoſe was done to prevent all future Diſputes ; for
I do not find that Canterbury ever laid any clain to Juriſdiction here, or
even that York much intereſted it felf, no more than the Crown of Eng-
land, in this Iſland. As to Biſhop Stanley, he was deprived for not
complying with Henry VIIIth's Meaſures, as I am informed, in the
Year 1546. tho' I rather judge it was in the preceding Year, for we
meet with
ROBERT FERRAR fübfcribing as Biſhop of Sodor, An. 1545. He
was afterwards preferred to the antient metropolitical Sce of St. David,
An. 1548. having I preſume fcarce took poffeffion of this ; for it is cer-
tain that
HENRY MAN, Dean of Cheſter, had the Royal Aſſent to his Ele-
etion to this Biſhoprick 7an. 22 1546. on the King's Nomination. He
died, and was buried in St. Andrew's Underſhaft Church in London,
with this Epitaph :
Henry Man, Doctor in Divinity, in the otniverſity of Oxford, and
fometime Bithop of Man; which Henry departed this-ILife Oct. 17.
1556. and Iyeth buried under this Stone.
On his Death,
THOMAS STANLEY, A.M. was reſtored by Queen Mary A12 1556
and dy'd 1568. being then alſo Rector of Winwick as well as Berwick.
His Succeſſor was
JOHN SALISBURY, LL. B. Suffragan Biſhop of Thetford, Dean of
Norwich, Chancellor of Lincoln Cathedral,
and Archdeacon of Angle-
Jedi,

ſea, nominated to this See March 27. 1569. Being a Native of Wales,
he had a Hand in tranſlating the Bible into Welch, which, with the
lofs of his Preferments (for Marriage, as it feems to me, in Queen Ma-
ry's Reign, he having been of a religious Order, and vowed Celibacy)
probably recommended him on Queen Elizabeth's Acceſſion to the
Crown. He died in Sept. 1573. and was buried in Norwich Cathedral,
without any Memorial. On his Death, hart
JAMES STANLE Y, Son to the Lord Montegle, is ſaid to have been
appointed Biſhop, by fome Accounts, An. 1573. tho' in others we are
informºd that after Salisbury's Deceaſe this See continued vacant about
three Years, till
John MERICK, A. M. Vicar of Hornchurch in Eſſex, became no-
minated hereunto by Henry Earl of Derby, and was admitted by the
King April 13. and confecrated at Lambeth April 15. 1576. the Year
after which he was inſtalled Biſhop, viz. An. 1577. He died Nov.
1599
in Yorkſhire, where I ſuppoſe he was beneficed, and ſo was bu-
ried no doubt in that County. His Succeſſor was
GEORGE LLOYD, S.T. P. Rector of Heſwall Co. Lancaſter, con-
fecrated An. 1599. On whoſe Tranſlation to Cheſter, where ſee more
of him, pag. 333.
JOHN PHILIPS, A. M. Rector of Hawarden Co. Flint, Archdeacon
of Cleveland and Man, and Parſon of Slingsby and Thorp Co. York, was
nominated by the King to this See Jan. 29. 1604. and confecrated Feb. 10.
following. He got the Common-Prayer-Book of the Church of Eng-
land tranſlated into the Language of the Natives of his Dioceſe, the
Original whereof is yet extant; and was, as Sacheverell fays, famous
for his Charity and Hoſpitality. He died Aug. 7. 1633. and was pro-
bably buried at St. Germans in Peel. His Succeſſor was
WILLIAM FORSTER, S.T.P. Prebendary of Cheſter, preſented by
the Earl of Derby 26. Dec. who obtained the Royal Affent Feb. 26. and
was confecrated March 9.1633. He held a Court at Douglas in Oft. 1634.
and dying about four Months after, was buried at Barrow Co. Chefter
Feb. 26. where he was Rector, without any Menorial, and ſucceeded by
RICHARD PARR, S. T. P. Rector of Eccleſton Co. Lancaſter, con-
ſecrated June 10. 1635. He was an excellent Biſhop, rebuilt Ramſey
Chapel, and was eminent for his preaching, and inſtructing the Natives
of his Dioceſe. He died An. 1643. and was buried in the Cathedral of St.
German's in Peel, in the unhappy times of the Rebellion ; which gave
an Occaſion to a Vacancy of about eighteen Years, till ſuch time as
SAMUEL RUTTER, A. M. Archdeacon (who, upon Biſhop Parr's
Death, as chief ſpiritual Magiſtrate, had the ecclefiaftical Government
of this Ide) was confirmed Biſhop Oat. 8. 1661. He had An. 1660.

On his Death, the moſt Primitive
ISAAC BARROW, S.T. P. became Confecrated Biſhop Juli
1663. Befides the Benefactions already hinted, he procured the Sum

6007 the Intereſt of which, he ſettled to maintain an Academick Ma-
fter ; as he did alſo 20 l. per Ann. for the Encouragement of ſuch Per-
fons as fhould be delign’d for the Sacred Miniſtry. He was in ſhort, as
Sacheverel tells us, a Man of fo publick a Spirit and generous Deſigns, for
the good of his Church, that to him is owing, the Learning among the
Natives; as is the Bread the Clergy eat, to his Charity: He was, as the
fame Author tells us, to the great loſs of the Inand, removed to St. A-
Saph, An. 1669. However, he was permitted to keep this See till 1671.
when
HENRY BRIDGMA N, S. T. P. Dean of Cheſter, Prebendary of
York, and Rector of Bangor, Co Flint, and Lanwrſt Sie Cure in St.

Having thus gone through
the account of the Biſhops, there remains
nothing further for me to treat of in the compaſs of my Deſign, Ence
there are no other Members belonging to this Cathedral ; and the Series
of the Archdeacons not being to be procur'd, as I learn from York and
elfewhere, I can only inform my Reader, tnat except LAURENCE, made
Biihop 1249. and GILBERT, who occurs 1482. as does GILBERT de
Latham, 1546. beſides Biſhops Philips and RUTTER, I have only met
with Archdeacons here, WILLIAM URQUART, S. T. P. An. 1678, and
1682. John LOMAX, on whoſe Death ARCHIPPUS Kippax was made
Archdeacon in July 1696. to whom, as I judge, ſucceeded SAMUEL
