Footnotes

  • 1. Le Neve-Hardy gives Robert Skerton, who, it is said, 'seems to have succeeded Cretyng'. No evidence has been found for him. There may be some confusion with Robert Shorton, archdcn. of Bath, who d. in 1535.
  • 2. Dr. - Gosling is said to d. as archdcn. of Wells 12 Jan. 1743 (Gent. Mag. 1743, xiii 51), whereas Le Neve-Hardy gives him as archdcn. of Bath. He was in fact neither.
