Under a faire marble stone in the martyrdome, inlaid with brasse, lieth interred the body Henry Deane, an Oxford man, Doctor of Divinitie, sometimes Abbot of Lanthony, Chancellour of Ireland, Bishop of Bangor, translated to Salisbury; and within two yeares after, advanced to this gracious seate of Canterbury. He was a very wise industrious man, by whose care and diligence, during his abode in Ireland, Perkin Warbeck, who counterfeited himfelfe to bee Richard the young Duke of Yorke, was forced to flie from thence into Scotland; He recouvered divers parcels of land to his See of Bangor, which were left by his predecessours, for want of good looking to; amongst other, a certain Island betweene Holy-head and Anglesey, called or the Island of Seales. Hee bestowed much money in repairing his Church and pallace at Bangor, which had beene burned and destroyed long before by Owen Glendowr, that famous rebel: j during the time he sate here Archbishop (which was scarce two ycares) he built the most part of Oxford house, and made the iron worke upon the coping of Rocheker Bridge. He bequeathed to his Church a silver image, of one and fiftie ounces waight, and appointed five hundred pounds to bee bestowed upon his funeralls. Hee died, Februar. the fifteenth, at Lambith.
In a little Chappell built by himslfe, lieth William Warham (deceased), Archbishop of this See. A gentleman of an ancient house in Hampshire, brought up in the Colledge of Winchester, and chosen thence to the new Colledge in Oxford, where he proceeded Doctor of Law. Presently upon which, he practised as an Advocate in the Arches, then hee was Parson of Barley in Hertfordshire as I finde in that Church-windowes, and Master of the Rolls. He was sent Embassadour by Henry the Seventh, to the Duke of Burgundy, concerning the two counterfeits, Lambert, and Perkin Warbeck, which the Duchesse his wife had set up against him. In which businesse hee behaved himselfe fo wisely, as the King highly commended him, and preferred him upon his returne, to the Bishopricke of London; and upon the death of Henry Deane to this of Canterbury. He was also made Lord Chancellour of England by the same King; in which office he continued, untill hee was wrung out by Wolsey, the seventh of Henry the eight. The ceremony of his inthronization to Canterbury was performed in a most magnificent manner: the Duke of Buckingham, and many other great men of the kingdome being that day his officers. In his solemne and sumptuous feast, all his honours and offices were drawne, depicted,or delineated, after a strange manner, in gilded Marchpaine upon the banqueting dishes: and first because he was brought up in the University of Oxford, the Vicechancelour with the Bedels before him, and a multitude of Schollars following him, were described to present to the King and the Nobilitie, fitting in Parliament, this William Warham with this laudatorie Tetrafticon.
