rick, anno 11753 as did John Delabere,. 
bifhop of St. David, who died about 
1462, as I judge, two years after his 
quitting St David’s, in the Blackfriars, in 
London, where, by the beft. information 
¥ can get, he fpent the remainder of his 
days, and lies buried. I am thus parti- 
cular about the ancient province of St, 
David’s, becaufe I have been writing 
of all the Welth fees. 
«* In Canterbury province T can add 
little to what I fent you, unlefs that I find 
bifhop Ralph Bayne buried 1559, ac- 
cording to Wharton, 1n Ilington Church; 
or, as other authors tell us, in St. Dun- 
ftan’s inthe Weft. In the Temple church 
is an ancient effigics of a bifhop, which 
I fhould judge to ‘be of Marmaduke Lum- 
ley, bifhop of Lincoln, who died in Lon- 
don in 1451, at his palace, no doubt, be- 
longing to his fee, called the Old Temple. 
In Weltminfter Abbey lies Richard 
Courtney, bifhop of Norwich, who died in 
1415. Sothat yeu have imitances of bifhops 
of every fee buried in London, except of 
the new erected bifhoprick of Briftol. 
“© In York province I can only add the 
‘burial of Robert Holgate, firft bifhop of 
Landaff, and afterwards archbifhop of 
York, who died in the Tower, anno 15565 
and, by the direction of his will, which 
I have feen, appoints his body to be bu- 
ried in that parifh wherein he dies. I am 
apt to think, that he was doubtlefs buried 
in the Tower chapel; as were, about this 
time, moft of the flate prifoners, and, al- 
moft all thofe beheaded in Henry VIIT.’s 
reign, Sede his two queens, If what 
I have wrote is of any fatisfaction, you may 
make what ufe you pleafe of it. From
