owne, D.D.# (1510-1514). #William Malverne# or #Parker# (1514-1539). Parker wrote a Rhythmical History of St. Peter's Abbey, which was reprinted in the appendix of Hearne's "Robert of Gloucester's Chronicle." It was compiled from local records extending up to the time of Abbot Horton. He subscribed in 1534 to the King's supremacy, and remained Abbot till the dissolution of the greater monasteries. Different traditions are current as to his behaviour. Willis (in "Mitred Abbeys") describes him as losing his pension and the chance of preferment on the score of contumacy. Another tradition asserts that the king promised him the bishopric, but that he died before the appointment was made. The place of his burial is not known, and it is hoped that his tomb will escape desecration for the sake of gratifying mere idle curiosity. BISHOPS OF GLOUCESTER. #John Wakeman# (1541-1549) was the last abbot of Tewkesbury, and chaplain to Henry VIII. #John Hooper# (1550-1554) was originally a monk at Cleeve; afterwards became a Lutheran. He could not comply with the statute of the Six Articles, and left Oxford in 1539 and went abroad. In Edward VI.'s reign he preached the reformed doctrine in London. He was instrumental in procuring the deprivation of Bishop Bonner in 1549, and was extremely hostile to Gardiner. He was consecrated Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester by Archbishop Cranmer. He was summoned to London in 1553, and imprisoned. In 1554 his bishopric was declared void. He refused to recant, and was burnt as an obstinate heretic in Gloucester in 1555. #James Brookes# (1554-1558). Formerly chaplain or almoner to Bishop Gardiner, and a very zealous Papist. He was delegated by the Pope for the examination and trial of Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer. #Richard Cheiney# or #Cheyney# (1561-1579). #John Bullingham# (1581-1598). #Godfrey Goldsborough# (1598-1604). #Thomas Ravis# (1604-1607), previous to his institution, had been Dean of Christ Church, Oxford. He was one of the translators of the Authorised Version. He was translated to London. #Henry Parry# (1607-1610) was translated from Rochester in 1607, and from Gloucester went to Worcester. #Giles Thompson# (1611-1612). #Miles Smith# (1612-1624). He was one of the translators of the Authorised Version, and is said to have written the preface. #Godfrey Goodman# (1624-1640). #William Nicholson# (1660-1671). #John Prickett# or #Prichard# (1672-1680).
