| Description | From: Thomas Neville, dean of Canterbury Cathedral; the chapter of Canterbury Cathedral
To: William Somner, notary public; Humphrey Clerck, notary public
The see of Canterbury is vacant by the death of Richard Bancroft, the last archbishop, and the dean and chapter are acting sede vacante. They appoint William and Henry as registrars for the consistory court of the city and diocese of Canterbury during the vacancy. The grant is made for diverse considerations, but especially for their faithful service in the consistory court when the see is full. Examined by Richard Colfe.
Given at the chapter house of Canterbury Cathedral. |
