  • 6. Formerly a monk of Ramsey, Hunts., with name of Richard Ramsey or Hawling (L. & P. XIV ii no. 565; Faculty Office Reg. 1534-49 pp. 207, 273).
  • 7. A possible successor is Thomas Prior (see below).
  • 8. His probable successor, by process of elimination, is John Robinson (see below).
  • 9. His probable predecessor, by process of elimination, is Antony Heywood (see above).
  • 10. A possible successor is Peter Cox (see below).
  • 11. Said by Wood to have been succ. by Hugh Nashe (Athenae Oxon. III 184), although Nashe's pres. by king 6 Sept. 1660 was said to be in succ. to Thomas Washborne. It is possible that Washborne was pres. to this preb. by the king during the Civil War period (ibid. IV 211).
  • 12. A possible predecessor is Edmund Bracegirdle and a possible successor is Thomas Anyan.
  • 13. A possible predecessor is Thomas Perry (see above). Willis says, without giving evidence, that Prior was instal. c. 21 Sept. 1612 in succession to him (Survey of Cath. I 735).
  • 14. A possible predecessor is Peter Cox (see above).
  • 15. A possible successor in 1660 is Walter Blandford.
  • 16. Said by Wood to have been pres. by king during the Civil War (Wood, Athenae Oxon. IV 211). If so, he may have succ. William Loe. for whom no successor is otherwise known, Washborne's m.i. in Gloucester cath. says that he was canon for 44 years (Survey of Cath. 1 740): this would fit better with succession to Loe than to Osborne.
  • 17. By process of elimination, a possible predecessor is George Palmer.
  • 18. Said by Wood to have succ. William Loe (Athenae Oxon. III 184). See above, notes to Loe and Washborne.

  • 20. Through the influence of his school-fellow, Lord Chancellor Camden (Gent. Mag. 1788, lviii (2) 180).
