Ampleforth Journal 17:2 (1912) 205-219PREBENDARIES DEPRIVED UNDER QUEENELIZABETHPart IJohn B. WainewrightT THE A J FOR J 1911, the present writer contributed a paperentitled ‘Archdeacons deprived under Queen Elizabeth’. As several readers found itinteresting, he now proposes to follow it up by the present list, from which thenames of Bishops, Deans, and Archdeacons, who held prebends or canonries with theirother ecclesiastical promotions, have been omitted.WILLIAM ALLEN, M.A. Oxon 1554, Prebendary of York 1558 (?), Fellow of Oriel 1550,Principal of St. Mary’s Hall, Oxford 1556, if he as a layman had a prebend at York (whichseems doubtful as his name does not occur in Le Neve), probably resigned it together withhis office of Principal in 1559. He crossed to Flanders 1561, but returned in 1562. Heagain crossed the sea in 1565 in which year he was deprived of his Fellowship at Oriel. Hewas ordained priest at Cambrai in the same year. In 1568 he founded the English Collegeat Douay which in 1578 was transferred to Rheims. He was Regius Professor of Divinityat Douay 1570, D.D. 1571, Canon of Cambrai about 1575, Cardinal Priest of the title ofS. Martino 1587; Archbishop-nominate of Mechlin 1589. He died the i6th of October1594. D.N.B. I, 314. Gillow I, 14.THOMAS ARDEN, Prebendary of York (Wighton) 1556, Worcester (14) 1558, andHereford (Bartonsham) 1559, Rector of Hartlebury, Worcestershire, 1554, and Vicar ofSouthstock, Oxon, 1551, was deprived in 1560 or 1561. In S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz. XI, 45, andwherever he is mentioned by Strype he is called John Arden. It is uncertain whether he isthe person of these names, who took his B.A. from Christ Church in 1536/7, and his M.A.in 1537 (Foster Alumni Oxon.), or the man, who according to Cooper (Ath. Cantab. I, 219)was elected from Eton to King’s College, Cambridge, in 1547, but left without taking a probably the latter. He was very likely related to Edward Arden of Park Hall,Warwick, as to whom see D.N.B. II, 74. Gillow 1,57. He ‘lurked’ in Herefordshire withArchdeacon John Blaxton and others.WILLIAM ATKINS, M.A., Prebendary of Lincoln (South Scarle) from 1556 to 1560, maynot improbably be the William Atkins of Sander’s list. He is possibly the William Adkinsfrom Salgrave, Notts., who entered Winchester College in 1534, was Fellow of NewCollege 1540 to 1546 where he became M.A., and Fellow of Winchester College 1546.He died still a Fellow in December 1561, and his brass may still be seen in the Cloistersthere. N. & Q. 2nd S. II, 195. THOMAS BACON, B.D. Cantab, before 1557. If the headingof the document printed Rymer’s Foedera XV, 563, is to be taken as decisive, this person,who was Master of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and Prebendary of Ely (6th P R E B E N D A R I E S D E P R I V E D U N D E R E L I Z A B E T H2 and died the ist or 2nd of January 1558-9 was deprived of his prebend before hisdeath. Cooper Ath. Cantab. I, 191.WILLIAM BARRETT, Prebendary of Hereford (Pratum Majus) 1542 to 1560, maypossibly be identical with the person of this name who was incumbent of Longford,Norwich diocese 1556 to 1561, when he was succeeded after deprivation. If he is, he wasprobably deprived of his prebend at the same time.EDMUND BEDINGFELD, Prebendary of Exeter (St. Endellion) suffered deprivation andhis successor was appointed in 1562. He was probably related to Sir Henry Beding-fieldas to whom, see D.N.B. IV, 133. The names of Humphrey and John Bedingfield occur asrecusants in Strype Annals II, ii, 343, 676 ; III, ii, 422.ALEXANDER BELSIRE, B.D. Oxon, Prebendary (4th stall) of Christ Church, Oxford,1546, and first President of St. John’s College, Rector of Handborough, Oxon, wasdeprived of the first two preferments in 1559, and Strype seems to imply in his additionsto the list in S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz. XI, 45 (Ann. I, i, 411), that he was deprived of the Rectoryas well. It appears however from Wood’s Annals I, 141, that he was Rector when he died onthe i3th of July, 1567. He was a native of Yate, and entered Winchester College at the ageof eleven in 1513. He ‘ was Fellow of New College from 1521 to 1541, and M.A. 1526-7was Rector of Tingewick, Bucks, from 1540 to 1557. Willis’ Cathedrals III, 454, gives hisepitaph. See D.N.B. XL, 136.RICHARD BERNARD, Prebendary of Wells (Eastharptree) 1551 who vacated his Prebendbefore 1564 may possibly be identified with Richard Bernard, M.A., Fellow of LincolnCollege, Oxford, and also with the Richard Bernard of Sander’s list, who is undoubtedly theRichard Bernard, D.D., who matriculated at the University of Douay in 1578, as to whomsee the Ampleforth Journal for April 1911, at p. 293.JOHN BICKERDYKE, Prebendary of Ely (7th Stall) and, according to Sander, of Wells,was deprived of, or resigned the former preferment in 1559. He was probably also theRector of Shipdam, Norfolk, about 1557, succeeded in 1561.LEONARD BILSON, M.A. Oxon 1546 (whom Gee pp. 285, 296 calls Lawrence and Doddcalls Richard). Prebendary of Winchester (compare Strype Mem. II, ii, 265), Salisbury(Kingsteignton) 1552, and Wells, and Rector of Kingsworthy Hants, 1558, was deprivedof all four F 2 preferments early in Elizabeth’s reign. He had been headmaster of ReadingSchool in 1546. He was uncle to Thomas Bilson afterwards Protestant Bishop ofWinchester (Strype Whitgift II, 350). On the 141)1 June, 1862, he had already been a longtime in the Tower (Cath. Reo. Soc. I, 56. He was still there in April 1570 (S.P. Dom. Eliz.LXVII, 93) and was removed thence to the Marshalsea by order of the Privy Council theI4th of October 1571 where he still remained in July 1580 (C.R.S. 1, 60, 70). In 1579 hewas aged about fifty. (Strype Ann. II, ii, 660.) He was discharged from the Marshalseabetween June 1582 and March 1582/3 (C.R.S. II, 231). P R E B E N D A R I E S D E P R I V E D U N D E R E L I Z A B E T H3 BLITHMAN, M.A. Oxon (Supp. 1560), Prebendary of Wells (Dinder),and Rector of Cossington, Somersetshire, was deprived in 1560. Strype Ann. Ill, i, 39-HENRY BOVEL, B.D. Cantab. 1554, Prebendary of Southwell (Normanton) 1559,Rector of Keggsworth, Leicestershire, 1554, was deprived of his prebend before the 8thof June 1562, and of his rectory in 1560, and as appears from S.P. • Dom. Add. Eliz. XI, 45,fled abroad either in or before that year. According to Bridge-water’s Concertatio, he diedin exile. He became Rector of Ringstead, St. Andrew, Norfolk, in 15.51. Cooper Ath.Cantab. I, 451.GEORGE BULLOCK, D.D. Cantab. 1557 (ordained ostiary in London Dec. 1553),Prebendary of Durham (loth Stall) 1554, Master of St. John’s College, Cambridge, 1554,Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity 1556, and Rector of Much Munden, Herts., about1556, was deprived of all four preferments and fled over seas, but was captured by pirateswho robbed him of all he possessed. He was at Antwerp in 1567 where he died in 1580.D.N.B. VII, 254. Gillow I, 338.GILBERT BOURNFORD, or BURFORD, B.D. Oxon 1554, Ch. Ch. Oxon B.A. 1540-1,M.A. 1545 (ordained Acolyte March 1553-4 at Oxford), Prebendary of Wells(Hazel-beare) 1555, Rector of Hazelbury Pluncknet 1555, and of Clotworthy 1556, bothin Somerset, was deprived in 1560 (Strype Ann. Ill, i, 39). He was also appointed to theChancellorship (Wood says in 1554 but this must be wrong), which owing to the accessionof Elizabeth he was unable to obtain (Fasti, I, 135). He went to Louvain at once. In the listof fugitives beyond the sea, printed Strype Ann. II, ii, 596-7, and dated agth of January,1576, he is called ‘ Gilford Barford, Clerk of Somerset.’ In Frere’s Marian Reaction hissurname is given as Benford. In October 1579 he was still living in great poverty at Louvain.S.P. Dom. Eliz. CXXXII, 47. C..R.S. I, 19, 23, 42, 46.ROBERT BORLAND. Prebendary of York (Stillington) 1558, was deprived in 1559, if wemay trust Rymer’s Foedera XV, 563.THOMAS BYAM. Prebendary of St. Paul’s (Brondesbury) 1560 was succeeded afterdeprivation in 1562. Cf. Strype Grindal, 87.GILES CAPEL, M.A. Oxon 1545, Prebendary of Wells (White Lakington) 1554, andRector of Yeovilton, Somerset, 1554, was succeeded after deprivation in 1560. He hadbeen Fellow of All Souls, Oxon 1540, Rector of Duloe, Cornwall, 1541, Rector of HowCaple, Herefordshire, 1549. He went abroad to Louvain early. His name occurs in Sander’slist, and in the list of fugitives beyond the sea dated 2gth January 1576 transcribed StrypeAnn. II, ii, 596-7. He was still living at Louvaia in 1572 (Phillips Ancient Hierarchy, pp.359-62). He was no doubt a member of the Herefordshire family of that name. Accordingto the Concertatio died abroad before 1588. Cf. C.R.S. 19, 23, 42, 46. P R E B E N D A R I E S D E P R I V E D U N D E R E L I Z A B E T H4 CARRE, M.A. Cantab, before 1546 ( ? LL.D.). Prebendary of Exeter(Chulmleigh) and Master of Magdalene, Cambridge, 1546, was deprived at any rate of hisMastership in 1559. His later history is unknown. Cooper Ath. Cantab. I, 209.EDWARD CHAMBER or CHAMBERS, Prebendary of Chichester: see the AmpleforthJournal for April 1911 at p. 295.THOMAS CHEDULTON or CHYDDALTON, Prebendary of Lich-neld (Pipa Parva) 1552,and� Vicar of Worfield, Salop, ?S47 resigned his prebend and was deprived of his vicarage,being succeeded in the former in 1563 and in the latter in 1562. He was absent from thevisitation of 1559- In November 1577 his name occurs among the 110 or so Staffordshirerecusants as residing at Castle-church (S.P. Dom. Eliz. CXVIII, 17 [i]).WILLIAM CHELL, Mus. Bac. Oxon 1524, Precentor of Hereford 1554, and Prebendaryof Hereford (Ewithington) 1545, was deprived of his precentorship and resigned his otherprebend in 1559. His later history is unknown. D.N.B. X, 183.THOMAS CLEMENT, Prebendary of York (Absthorpe) 1554, was absent from thevisitation of 1559, and his prebend was sequestrated. He was succeeded in it in 1564. Heis probably the Clement, priest, of Sander’s list. No doubt he was related to John Clement,M.A., M.D., also in Sander’s list as to whom see D.N.B. XI, 33, Gillow I, 498-MAURICE CLENOCK, B.C.L. Oxon 1548 (D.C.L. and D.D. according to Gillow),Prebendary of York, Chancellor of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and Rector ofOrpington, Kent, and Bishop-nominate of Bangor was deprived very early in Elizabeth’sreign, though he was not succeeded at Orpington till 1566. He went with Dr. Goldwell,Bishop of St/Asaph’s, to Rome, here we find both in Jan. 1564 (C.R.S. II, p. 3). He becameCamerarius 1567 and Custos 1578 of the English Hospital. On the 6th of February 1570he gave evidence against Queen Elizabeth at Rome (Laderchius III, p. 301). He was firstRector of the English College there 1578-9 and was drowned soon after on a voyage fromRouen to Spain. Gillow I, 500. D.N.B. XI, 37. C.R.S. I, 23, 48. Though it has been doubted,Dom Norbert Birt has shown that Sander was quite right in calling him a prebendary ofYork, see Elizabethan Religious Settlement, p. 152.ANTHONY CLERKE, B.D. Oxon 1536, Prebendary of Chichester (Firle) 1550, andIncumbent of East Dean 1558, and Vicar of Cowfold 1554, both in Sussex, formerly a was deprived and succeeded in his prebeTid in 1563, and in the other two livingsin 1560. He had been Vicar of Oving, Sussex, 1547.ARTHUR COLE, D.D. Oxon. Though it would appear from Le Neve, Hennessy, and Gee,that he was deprived of his prebend at St. Paul’s and from Rymer’s Foedera XV, 563 thathe was also deprived of his canonry at Windsor, it is clear that, if this were so, it was noton theological grounds, for he died the i8th of July 1558- See Wood’s Colleges and Halls,ed. Gutch P- 33?- P R E B E N D A R I E S D E P R I V E D U N D E R E L I Z A B E T H5� COLUNS, Prebendary of Canterbury (6th Stall) I554 was deprived in 1559-He was formerly Cardinal Pole’s Commissary for Canterbury and Calais. He may be theOxford man who was B.A. 1512, M.A. 1515-6, B.C.L. 1522, B. Can. L. 1522, Rector ofChignal St. James, Essex, 1534. Cf. Strype Parker I, 103, Cranmer 24, 472, Mem. Ill, i,211, 474, 476, 478, 481, ii, 120, 123. One Robert Collyn was sent to the Queen’s Benchfor religion 6th Feb. 1578, and discharged on the i8th Feb. following.WILLIAM COLLINGWOOD, Prebendary of Chester 1556, is said by Sander to have beendeprived, though Boase says he died in 1558. He however compounded for the first fruitsof the Rectory of Cristleton, Cheshire, the ?5th of June ?559, in which he was succeededbefore the 2oth of February 1560-1. He is therefore another proof of Sander’s accuracy.He was possibly the incumbent of Ford in the diocese of Durham who was absent from thevisitation of 1559. Another of this name was Rector of St. Mary Moses, London, 1555, andRector of St. Nicholas, Olave, 1565 to his death in 1569. For HENRY COMBERFORD,Prebendary of Coventry and Lichfield, see Downside Review for Dec. 1910, pp. 301-2.ROBERT COSYN, M.A. Oxon 1537, Treasurer 1558, and Prebendary (Mora) 1559, of St.Paul’s, and Rector of Great Greenford, Middlesex, was deprived in 1559. He had formerlybeen Fellow of Balliol 1547, Vicar of St. Lawrence Jewry 1545, Rector of Beckenham,Kent, 1547, Rector of Crick, Northants, 1548.EDWARD CRATFORD, M.A. Oxon 1544, Prebendary of Wells, and Rector of Lydeard,Somersetshire, was deprived in 1560 (Strype, Ann. Ill, i, 39). He was a native ofHerefordshire, and received the first tonsure in London in December 1554 (Frere, MarianReaction, 258). He was Fellow of All Souls and B.A. in 1540, but had migrated to ChristChurch by 1547. He became second master at St. Peter’s College, Westminster, in 1551,and Chaplain to Philip and Mary in 1555. From 1554 to 1557 he was Vicar of NorthPetherton, Somerset. He seems to have gone abroad early in Elizabeth’s reign. He is called‘ Crockford ‘ in the list of fugitives of 29 January, 1576. According to the Concertatio hedied abroad, apparently in Spain (see C.R.S., I, 19, 42).WILLIAM DALBY or DAWBER, M.A. Oxon before 1556, Chancellor and Prebendary(ist Stall) of Bristol 1558 ; Rector of Littleton, Gloucestershire, 1556 ; of Lower Heyford,Oxon, 1557 ; and of Tingewick, Bucks, 1559, was deprived of all his preferments, exceptthe rectory of Lower Heyford, in 1559. His name occurs in Sander’s list. He enteredWinchester College in 1535 at the age of eleven from Milcombe, Oxfordshire, and was atNew College, Oxford, as Scholar and Fellow from 1542 to 1558. He was ordainedsub-deacon at Oxford, being then M.A. in May 1556 (Frere, p. 258). According to Sanderhe was in prison in 1561 (C.R.S. I, 19, 42). He appears to have retained the rectory ofLower Heyford till he died in 1587, and must therefore have conformed to some extent.ROBERT DALTON, D.D., Prebendary (yth Stall) of Durham 1541, and Incumbent ofBillingham 1544, and Vicar of Norton 1556, both in the Durham diocese, having beendeprived of all three preferments, was succeeded in all in 1560. He is probably theBenedictine who took his B.D. at Oxford on gth of May 1538. In S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz. XI, P R E B E N D A R I E S D E P R I V E D U N D E R E L I Z A B E T H6 he is described as ‘ unlearned, wealthy and stiff,’ and we are told he was sentenced ‘ toremain with the Lord Dakers of the North.’RICHARD DOMINICK, Prebendary of Salisbury (Warminster) 1558, and Rector ofStratford Toney, Wilts., 1554, was deprived of both these preferments soon after QueenElizabeth’s accession. His name occurs in Sander’s list. In S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz. XI, 45, heis described as ‘ an unlearned priest but very stubborn.’ He is probably to be identified withthe Richard Dominick who compounded for Long Critchell Rectory, Dorset, on the igth ofJune, 1559, and vacated it before the 23rd of February, 1560/1, and also with the RichardDominick who entered Winchester College in 1527 from Chilmark, Wilts, who wasafterwards Fellow of New College and M.A. and Rector of Witchingham and Sahum Toney,both in Norfolk (res. 1557). See N. &• Q. gth S. XI. 350. He with Harding refused to assentto Jewel’s election to the see of Salisbury and was imprisoned (Harding’s Detection, p.232). DOWNES, D.D. Cantab. 1526, Chancellor of York 1537, and Prebendary ofGloucester (Morton), was deprived of these preferments and succeeded in 1561. Heappears to have died soon after. He was Fellow of Jesus, Cambridge, 1515, and ordained1516. Cooper, I, 210. Wood’s Fasti I, 190.RICHARD DRURY, Prebendary of York (North Newbald [date unknown] and Barnby1558), was deprived in 1559. He appears to have died in 1561. (Compare Rymer’s FoederaXV, 563.) He may be the Dr. Drury mentioned (Dasent, Acts of Privy Council, VII, 402)as in the Tower for religion.JOHN DURSTON, M.A. Oxon, Prebendary of Chichester (Bursalis) 1554, Fellow ofWinchester 1553 and of Eton 1555, was ejected from Chichester in 1560, from Eton thenth of September 1561, and probably had already resigned his Winchester Fellowship. Hehad been Fellow of Oriel 1534.JOHN ERLE, formerly a monk at Winchester, and one of the original Prebendaries,compounded for the first-fruits of the Rectory of Compton, Hants, 15 Jan., 1550/1. He wasdeprived of both of these preferments in 1559, and on the and Nov. of that year was a in the Marshalsea with Peter Langridge and in bad health. He was afterwardsenlarged on his own bail but restricted to Hampshire and restrained from coming to theCathedral or Winchester College. (S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz. XI, 45. Birt’s ElizabethanReligious Settlement, p. 169). One of this name was in prison in the Gatehouse Nov. 1595(C.R.S. II, 287).ROGER EDGEWORTH, D.D. Oxon 1526; Chancellor of Wells 1554, and Prebendary ofBristol 1542, died in 1559, but if we can take Rymer’s Foedera XV, 563, as conclusive, wasdeprived of his Bristol prebend before his death. D.N.B. XVI, 385.RICHARD FAWCETT, D.D. Cantab. 1554, Prebendary of Canterbury (i2th Stall) 1554,and Lincoln (St. Martin’s) 1558, and Parson of Lyminge, Kent, 1559, was probably deprived P R E B E N D A R I E S D E P R I V E D U N D E R E L I Z A B E T H7 all these preferments in 1559 or 1560, though he was not succeeded at Lincoln till1564. His name occurs in Sander’s list. He had been Fellow of St. John’s, Cambridge, in1540. One of this name was Vicar of Orton, Cumberland, in 1554. Cooper, I, 209. Strype,Parker, I, 103. Mem. Ill, i, 476, 478; ii, 120. FOWLER or FAULER, Prebendary of Salisbury, is mentioned by Sander as deprived, butis otherwise unknown. EDWARD GODSALVE, B.D. Cantab. 1554, ordained sub-deacon in London Dec.1553, Prebendary of Chichester (Ferring), and Rector of Fulbourn St. Vigors, Cambridgeshire, 1554, was deprived of his Rectory in 1559/60 (Rymer’s Foedera, XV,563), but in 1561 obtained the living of Stoke Dawborn in the Winchester diocese. In1563 he was succeeded after deprivation in his prebend. He fled abroad and becameProfessor of Divinity in St. Michael’s Monastery. Antwerp. He was alive in 1568, butthe date and place of his death are unknown. He was at one time a Fellow of TrinityCollege, Cambridge. D.N.B. XXII, 49. Gillow ii, 506. WILLIAM GOOD, M.A. Oxori 1552, ordained acolyte at Oxford Dec. 1554,Prebendary of Wells (Combe VIII) 25th Nov. 1556, Rector of Middle Chinnock, Somerset,24th Sept. 1556, resigned these benefices and went to Tournay where in 1562 he enteredthe Society of Jesus. He was professed at Rome 1577, and died at Naples the 5th of July1586. Sometime Fellow C.C.C. Oxon. D.N.B. XXII, 13. Gillow II, 1522.RICHARD HALL, M.A. Cantab. 1559, Prebendary of Worcester (7th Stall) 1557, Fellowof Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, 1556, resigned his preferments soon after Elizabeth’saccession, and went abroad. He gave evidence against the Queen in Rome on the gth ofFebruary, 1570 (Lad-erchius III, 206, where he is described as a Priest of York diocese).He took his degree of D.D. in Rome. His name occurs in Sander’s list. He was living atLouvain in 1572 and at the English College, Douay, in 1576- He became Canon of St.Gery’s, Cambrai, and Canon and Official ofJSt. Omer. He died at St. Omer the z6th ofFebruary 1603/4. Gillow III, 92. Cooper II, 386.RICHARD HALSE, M.A. Oxon 1527, Prebendary of Exeter, and Vicar of Broad Clyst1536, and Rector of Thurle-stone, 1547, both in Devonshire, having been deprived wassucceeded in all his preferments in 1560. In S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz. XI, 45, he is called ‘ anunlearned priest,’ and we read he was ordered ‘ to remain in the Counties of Devon orCornwall, the City of Exeter and within three miles of either of his late benefices alwaysexcepted.’ Sander mentions a Harcourt Prebendarv of Norwich who has not beenidentified. HARDING, M.A. Oxon 1542, D.D. 1554, Treasurer of Salisbury 1555,Prebendary of Winchester, and Rector of Bishopstone, Wiltshire, was deprived in 1559.As his name occurs in S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz. XI, 45, he was evidently not then known to have P R E B E N D A R I E S D E P R I V E D U N D E R E L I Z A B E T H8 abroad, but must have done so before 1562. He died at Louvain in 1572, and wasburied on the i6th of September in St. Gertrude’s Church. D.N.B. XXIV, 339. Gillow III,124. C.R.S. I, 18, 41. He was ordained acolyte and sub-deacon at Oxford May 1554, andpriest in London June 1554, being then Sub-warden of New College (Frere, p. 261).JOHN HEMING, Prebendary of Wells (probably Combe IV or VI), occurs in Sander’s list,and in Dodd’s is called John Henning. He is probably to be identified with John Hemming,M.A. 1555, Fellow of Oriel 1551 from Worcestershire, who was summoned to return intoresidence in 1561 (Boase, p. 228), and with John Henning who was admitted, already a into the Professed House of the Society of Jesus at Rome the 24th of November,1562 (Foley VII, 1434), except that the latter describes himself as ‘ Provinciae Wintoniae.’Fr. Pollen informs us that he was born about 1542 and that he is also called John Cox. Hewould thus be identifiable with John Devon alias Cox sent to the Marshalsea t5th April,1561, ‘for saying of Mass and conjorynge ‘ (C.R.S. I, 53).THOMAS HESKYNS, D.D. Cantab, 1557, Chancellor of Sarum 1558, and Vicar ofBrixworth, Northants, was deprived in August 1559. He fled abroad and entered theDominican order in Flanders, and became Confessor to the English Dominican Nuns fromKing’s Langley, Herts, who had established themselves at Bergen-on-Zoom. The date andplace of his death are unknown. He was sometimes Fellow of Clare. See D.N.3. XXVI, 297.Gillow III, 292. Dr. Sander calls him Hopkins in C.R.S. I, 19, 42.ELIZEUS or ELLIS HEYWOOD, B.C.L. Oxon 1552, Prebendary of Lichfield (Eccleshall)1554, was deprived and succeeded in 1564. He was probably abroad when Queen Elizabethascended the throne. He entered the Society of Jesus at Dillengen in Bavaria December1566, and afterwards removed to Antwerp. He died at Louvain in October 1578, or as Foleysays the gth of January, 1598.

Ill, i, 39, and Gee p. - 259). He was very likely atthe same time deprived of the Rectory of Ilchester, Somerset, 1543, and the Rectory ofEast Mersey, Essex, 1555.LAWRENCE HUGHES, Prebendary of Sarum (Bishopstone) 1554, was succeeded 1560,probably on resignation.

INDOLEN, Prebendary of Chichester (Fittleworth), was succeeded after deprivation in1561. Possibly to be identified with John Iguldon, Fellow of Queen’s, Cambridge, ordainedpriest June 1557.ROBERT ISHAM, M.A., resigned his Prebend (the 6th) at Peterborough before the 3oth ofSeptember, 1559, and his Canonry at Windsor before June 1560.RALPH JACKSON, B.D., Prebendary of Canterbury, Rector of . St. Clement Danes,London, and Master of the Savoy, was deprived of his Rectory in 1559 (Newcourt I, 592)and most probably of his prebend (see Strype, Parker I, 103) and Mastership. He howeversigned in 1559. Compare Strype, Mem. II, ii, 297 ; III, i, 478. ROBERT JOHNSON, LL.B.Cantab. 1531, incorporated at Oxon 1551, Prebendary of Southwell, and Hereford (PatstonMajor) 1551, and Rector of Bolton Percy, Yorks, was possibly deprived of thesepreferments in 1559 before his death the same year. He had been Prebendary of Rochester,Worcester (ist Stall) and York, and Rector of Clum, Shropshire. Le Neve is, it seems, inerror in stating (as he does in speaking of his York and Hereford prebends) that he died in1557 or 1558. (His account varies). He is probably confusing him with another RobertJohnson, LL.B., a layman and married man who died the aoth of November, 1558. (SeeCooper I, 185, 551). For our Robert Johnson see D.N.B. XXX, 26. Gillow III, 638. CooperI, 203. He was probably Fellow of All Souls ordained exorcist at Oxford Sept. 1556-(To be continued.)
