#Nicholas Heath# (1555-1559) had been Bishop of Landaff, Rochester, and
Worcester, and, under Mary, Lord President of Wales and Lord Chancellor.
The Bull of Pope Paul IV. appointing him to York is the last
acknowledged in England. He obtained much of the property from the Queen
which Henry VIII. had alienated from the see. On the accession of
Elizabeth, Heath was deprived, though he had proclaimed her Queen. He
retired to Cobham in Surrey. The queen appears to have punished him only
for his opinions, since he remained a firm Papist. Elizabeth even
visited him at Cobham. He died in 1579.

#Thomas Young# (1561-1568) had been Bishop of St. David's, and was
president of the Council of the North. It is said he provided for his
family by settling the best estates of the prebends upon them. Late in
life he married, and, it is said, pulled down the great hall in the
palace at York that he might give the lead to his son. He died at
Sheffield Manor.

#Edward Grindal# (1570-1576) had been Bishop of London. He was a
Puritan, and afterwards was translated to Canterbury.

#Edwin Sandys# (1577-1588), when vice-chancellor of Cambridge
University, supported the cause of Lady Jane Grey. For this he was
thrown into prison, and afterwards fled to Germany. He returned on the

#John Piers# (1588-1594) had been Dean of Christchurch, Oxford, Bishop
of Rochester, and Bishop of Salisbury.

#Matthew Hutton# (1595-1606) was translated from Durham. His monument is
in the south aisle of the choir.

#Tobias Matthew# (1606-1628) was also translated from Durham. His
monument is in the south aisle of the choir.

#George Monteign# (1628) had been Bishop of Lincoln, London, and Durham.
He died within a month of his enthronement.

#Samuel Harsnett# (1628-1631) was translated from Norwich. He had been
master of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, where he was ejected for scandalous
practices. He died unmarried, and on his tomb described himself as
_Indignus Episcopus Cicestriensis, indignior Norvicencis, indignissimus
Archiepiscopus Eboracensis_.

#Richard Neile# (1632-1640) was Dean of Westminster in 1605. Lord
Burghley was his patron, and he became Bishop of Rochester, Lichfield,
Lincoln, Durham, and Winchester; more sees than any other English bishop
