68. Thomas Kemp.

THe Pope of his absolute authoritie bestowed the Bi∣shopricke [ 1449] of London vpon T. Kemp, the yéere 1449. He was consecrate at Yorke place (now called White Hall) February 8. 1449. by the handes of his vncle Iohn Kemp then Archbishop of Yorke. This man sate Bishop al∣most 40. yéeres. He died March 28. 1489. and was buried in the vpper end of the body of his church betwéene two pillers, where he caused to be built ouer his tombe a sumptuous chappell, and erected (as I take it) a Chauntry in the same. He built Paules crosse in forme as now it standeth, & was a benefactor of our Uniuersity of Oxford, the particularity how farre foorth I know not.
