Thomas Wynterburn. The date of his appointment is not certain. Le Neve says, he was styled archdeacon 1st Sept. 1448[1]; but that must be a mistake, as Chichley was archdeacon at his death in 1466; and Wynterburn, who was present in 1468 in the chapter house when John Oxney was elected prior of Christ Church, expressly declared that he was not present as archdeacon, but as chancellor to the archbishop[2]. A MS. in the British Museum states that he became archdeacon 1st Sept. 1468, and died 7th Sept. 1478.
John Bourchier was collated in February 1479, and died 6th Nov. 1495.
Hugh Penthwin was collated 26th Nov. 1495[3], and died 6th Aug. 1504[4], and was buried in Lambeth church.
William Warham. The time of his appointment uncertain; but he seems to have been collated about the year 1513. He resigned 10th Feb. 1534[5].
Edmund Cranmer was collated to this archdeaconry 9th March 1534[6], and deprived in 1554.
Nicholas Harpsfield, admitted 31st March 1554, and deprived in 1559.
Edmund Gest or Gheast was nominated to this archdeaconry 13th Oct. 1559[7], and in the same year was made bishop of Rochester ; but he held the archdeaconry in commendam.
Edmund Freak was constituted archdeacon of Canterbury about the year 1564; he was consecrated bishop of Rochester in 1571, and had a dispensation to hold
