Note: William Lovelace's parents died while he was still a minor and his father's will specified that he was not to inherit until the age of twenty-six. He studied law at Grey's Inn beginning in 1548 and was called to the bar in 1551. He was a reader at Grey's Inn in 1562 and 1567.

He was named counsel to the Cinque Ports in 1557, a very active legal position, and to Canterbury in 1559. He was named to an ecclesiastical commission that year that visited the dioceses of south-western England and covered in all some seven hundred miles.

He was counsel to Faversham by 1564. That year or the next he was given a dinner "for his aid given by his counsel unto the town." In addition to his two-pound annual salary the town also gave him presents of food and wine.

He was named Justice of the Peace for Kent in 1561. He was named a serjeant-at-law before 1567 and was a justice of assize by 1572.

He served in the parliaments of 1563, 1571, and 1572, taking a very active role and serving on numerous committees, usually involved in legal matters.

He was a considerable landowner in Kent, holding the manor of Lydden Court near Sandwich and property in Bethersden, Chartham, Smarden and Newnham. In Canterbury he owned the house and site of the Grey Friars and a large house in the parish of St. Alphage. He bought the hospital of St. Lawrence outside of Canterbury, a property whose title was long in dispute.

His death appears not to have been of natural causes, for in May 1577 Henry Binneman obtained a license to print a book called The Brief Course of the Accidents of the Death of Mr. Serjeant Lovelace. Unfortunately, no copy of this book is known to exist.

Barne, George (b. ABT 1525, d. 2 JAN 1593)

Note: Sir George Barne, like his father and grandfather before him, was a citizen of London and a haberdasher. He was Master of the Haberdashers' Company in 1586-87. He was elected to represent London in the Parliament of 1589. He was president of St. Thomas's Hospital from 1592 until his death the following year.

He served as alderman and auditor of London in 1574. He served as Sheriff of London in 1576. Thoroughly anti-Catholic, he was responsible for a serious breach of diplomatic etiquette during his term as Sheriff. Hearing that a mass was being said at the house of the Portuguese ambassador, he forcibly entered the property in order to put a stop to it. Queen Elizabeth immediately apologized and reprimanded him, but the Ambassador demanded that he be imprisoned, which he was, briefly, in the Fleet.

The incident was soon forgotten, however, and Barne became Lord Mayor of London in 1586 and was knighted by the Lord Chamberlain on Jun 11 1587.

He was a governor of the Muscovy Company in 1580.

Sandys, Edwin (b. ABT 1516, d. 1588)

Note: The Most Reverend Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York, was probably educated at Furness Abbey, where the martyr John Bland is said to have been one of his teachers. He afterwards went to St. John's College at Cambridge, receiving an A.B. in 1539, and M.A. in 1541, a B.D. in 1547, and a D.D. in 1549.

He held a number of minor ecclesiastical offices, becoming canon of Peterborough in 1549. He also served as Master of Catherine Hall from 1547. In 1553 he was Vice Chancellor of Cambridge University and when the Duke of Northumberland came to Cambridge to gain support for denying the throne to the Catholic Mary Tudor, Sandys preached a sermon before him, upholding the claims of Lady Jane Grey to the throne. The movement quickly collapsed, and Northumberland ordered Sandys to proclaim Queen Mary, which he did in the marketplace. (At the same time, he made the safe prophecy that Northumberland would not go unpunished; he didn't: he was beheaded.)

Sandys resigned as vice chancellor and was brought to London, where he was imprisoned in the Tower and later Marshalsea prison, from which he managed with the help of Sir Thomas Holcraft to escape and make his way to the continent. He lived abroad until the end of Queen Mary's reign in 1558, and his first wife and his son died in that exile.

Edwin Sandys returned to England shortly after Queen Elizabeth I came to the throne and quickly received preferment. He was named to several commissions dealing with the liturgy and other ecclesiastical matters. On an ecclesiastical visitation to the North of England, he preached a sermon on Queen Elizabeth that was highly flattering and he was offered the see of Carlisle. He refused it, however, and was rewarded with Worcester instead.

Sandys was a quarrelsome man, often involved in squabbles both high and low, and one contemporary author described his "Germanical nature." The Dictionary of National Biography describes him as "an obstinate and conscientious puritan."

His learning, however, was not in doubt. In 1567 he was one of the translators of the so-called Bishop's Bible. In 1570 he was translated to the See of London. In 1572 he helped in another translation of the Bible and was responsible for the Books of Hosea, Joel, and Amos through Malachi.

On Mar 8 1576, Sandys was translated to the Archbishopric of York. There, again, his quarrels were many in a time of gathering religious disputes. He died on Jul 10 1588 and was buried in Southwell Minster, where his tomb is still to be found. He endowed a grammar school in his native Hawkswood.

His biography is in the Dictionary of National Biography.
