Accepted Frewen

ARCHBISHOP,

Though the son of the rector of Northiam, in Sussex, is declared by Wood to have been born in Kent, in 1589, and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford. He became chaplain to Charles II., in 1631, and subsequently Dean of Gloucester. He was made Bishop of Lichfield in 1643, whence he was translated to the Archbishopric of York in 1660, which office he held till his death, four years later, in 1664.
