The only SON Of butcher who be-

whose father was butcher at Ipswich.
In 1914 he was appointed 70 the sec Of

archbishopric Of York. Unsuitable in the
pursuit Of emolument, he obtained the
administration OF the zee Of Bath and
Wells and the temporalities Of the abbey
Of st. Adams. Soon after which he Ell
joyed in succession the rich bishoprics
OF Durham and Winchester. By these
means his revenues nearly equaled those
of the king. The parents Of three arch
