Notizen bei Thomas BOURCHIER

"He was Cardinal, and Archbishop of Canterbury, died in 1486. Thomas was, says Weaver "preferred to the Bishopric of Worcester, from whence he was translated to Ely and lastly enthroned in this chair of Canterbury, where he sat for thirty years, and lived after that time of his first consecration fifty-nine years. I find not that ever an Englishman continued so long a bishop, or that any archbishop either before or after him, in 800 years, enjoyed that place so long." He erected a magnificent monument to himself in Canterbury Cathedral."

1456 Bought the manor of Knole from William Fiennes, and later gave it to the See of Canterbury. He lived there for several years during which (1454-1464) he extended what was a manor house into a great archiepiscopal palace. He may also have provided additions to the parish church of St Nicholas, Sevenoaks.. He remained a trusted councillor of several kings through the difficult years of the Wars of the Roses and after, and remained Archbishop until his death.
