Notes
131 The mediæval College of Canons had no official head, but the Prebendary of Stanwick, as Ruler of the Choir, was generally in residence, and was in some sense the most important of the Canons. He did not, however, preside, at least not if any other Canon was in residence. Thus Christopher Dragley (Prebendary of Monkton) was often Praesidens Capituli from 1533 to 1539, and Marmaduke Bradley (Prebendary of Thorp) from 1544 to 1546.
132 Afterwards the celebrated Bishop of Durham, one of the most prominent personages at the court of Edward I.
133 A brass to him is preserved in the Cathedral. The inscription was probably cut in his lifetime, for the space for the date of his death is left blank. He helped to found the chantry of St. Wilfrid, and is buried in the Choir.
134 Deprived by the Parliament when they suppressed the Chapter.
[135] One of the founders of the Royal Society: married Oliver Cromwell’s sister: became Bishop of Chester.
136 Buried near the vestry door.
137 Became Bishop of Chester, and was a strong supporter of James II.
138 Buried within the Altar-rails (brass).
139 Buried in the north choir-aisle (tablet).
140 Buried in the Cathedral (formerly there was a tablet in the south aisle of the nave).
141 Tablet in the Chapter-house.
142 Buried within the Altar-rails.
143 Buried in the graveyard near the north-east corner of the choir (tomb by Sir Gilbert Scott).
144 Afterwards Bishop of Durham, then Archbishop of York, and finally Archbishop of Canterbury. The modern diocese of Ripon does not correspond in area with that over which Eadhead presided (see Chap. I.)
