[A.D. 1364, translated to Canterbury 1368.] WILLIAM WHITTLESEY, translated to Worcester from Rochester. (See Canterbury, Pt. II.). [A.D. 1368-1373.] WILLIAM DE LYNN, translated from Chichester. [A.D. 1375-1395.] HENRY WAKEFIELD, Treasurer of England. It was this Bishop who altered the west front of his cathedral, and added the north porch. (Pt. I. §§ III., IV.) [A.D. 1395-1401.] TIDEMAN DE WINCHCOMB, translated from Llandaff. A Cistercian, and the physician of Richard II. [A.D. 1401, translated to London 1407.] RICHARD CLIFFORD, had been nominated by the Pope to the see of Bath and Wells, but the King (Henry IV.) refused to confirm the nomination, and subsequently made Clifford Bishop of Worcester. He had been one of the “clerks,” and a special favourite, of Richard II. [A.D. 1407-1419.] THOMAS PEVERELL, translated from Llandaff. A Carmelite of much learning. Peverell had been made Bishop of Ossory by Richard II. in 1397, and in the following year was translated to Llandaff. [A.D. 1419, translated to Ely 1426.] PHILIP MORGAN, had been Chancellor of Normandy. (See ELY, Pt. II.) [A.D. 1426-1433.] THOMAS POLTON, translated from Chichester. Bishop Polton died whilst attending the Council of Basle, (Aug. 13, 1433,) and was interred in that city. [A.D. 1435, translated to Ely 1443, and thence to Canterbury 1454.] THOMAS BOURCHIER. (See CANTERBURY, Pt. II.) It is there stated that Archbishop Bourchier’s episcopate, of fifty-one years, is the longest on record in the English Church. This is only true so far as his predecessors are concerned. Bishop Wilson’s (fifty-seven years) is the longest English episcopate. (See ELY, Pt. II.) [A.D. 1444-1476.] JOHN CARPENTER, Provost of Oriel, and Chancellor of Oxford. He was born at Westbury, in Gloucestershire, and had so great a favour toward his native place that he restored and richly endowed the collegiate church there, of which the first Dean, under Bishop Carpenter’s foundation, was William Canynges, the great Bristol merchant, one of the principal contributors toward the building of St. Mary Redcliffe. Carpenter intended that the bishops of his see should henceforth bear the double title “of Worcester and Westbury;” “but,” says Fuller, “though running cleverly on the tongue’s end, it never came in request, because therein _impar conjunctio_, the matching of a cathedral and collegiate church together[119].” Bishop Carpenter was buried at Westbury. The collegiate buildings were destroyed during the civil war. [A.D. 1476, translated to Ely 1486.] JOHN ALCOCK. (See ELY, Pt. II.) [A.D. 1487-1497.] ROBERT MORTON, Archdeacon of Winchester, and nephew of Cardinal Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury. The next four bishops were Italian intruders.
