HEATH BECOMES ARCHBISHOP. 331
any record of his interment in the Hemsworth parish
register.
The charitable foundations in Yorkshire associated
with his name were not altogether the outcome of
posthumous liberality. He obtained letters patent
from Henry VIH. for the foundation of three
grammar-schools in the year 1546, at York, Old
Malton, and Hemsworth. Each school was to be
a separate corporation, with statutes and ordinances
to be framed by the archbishop. Lands of the
annual value of ^24 were given to the schoolmaster
of Hemsworth. These schools are still in existence,
under a revised system of government adapted to
the requirements of the present day, and are doing
good and useful work. Hemsworth hospital was
founded under the provisions of his will, in which he
laid down minute provisions for its regulation. The
property bequeathed for its maintenance has much
increased in value. It accommodates ten brethren
and ten sisters, who have each a house and ^^40
a year. The management of the charity is now
vested in trustees, under a scheme drawn up by the
Court of Chancery in 1857.
The vacancy caused by Archbishop Holgate's deprivation
was speedily filled by the appointment of
Nicholas Heath. He had been successively Bishop
of Llandaff, Rochester, and Worcester. Of the latter
see he was deprived by Edward VI. for refusing to
take the oath of supremacy, but was restored by
Mary. The bull of Pope Paul IV. confirming his
election to the see of York bears date the 21st June,
1555, and is the last instrument. of the kind relating
