Footnotes

  • 1. Presumably, therefore, the gr. of next pres. made by Bp. Taylor 8 Sept. 1553 to Sir Gervase Clifton of Hodsack, Notts. (CA 1547-59 pp. 98-9), was ineffective.
  • 2. The long delay between coll. and instal. is surprising for a canon resid. It may have been caused by a dispute over the fees paid to the vicars choral and others at an instal. occasioned by an exchange of preb. (cf. A/3/9 f. 47r-v).
