Footnotes

  • 1. Despite the protest of Nicholas Bullingham, archdcn. of Lincoln, that he had a gr. of next pres. made 4 Aug. 1551 by Bp. Holbeche (CA 1547-59 p. 65), and that Bp. Taylor had refused to instit. his presentee.
  • 2. Unlikely to have been pres. by Sir Francis Ayscough, John Tourney, esquire, or their assigns, to whom Bp. Taylor gr. next pres. 4 Oct. 1553 (A/3/6 ff. 378v-379).
  • 3. A layman, and a member of parliament (cf. Commons' Journals I 357b, 420a, 1001 a; Cal. S.P. Dom. 1603-10 p. 154).

Stow, Survey of London (1618) p. 380).
