YORK.
Archbishop Lamplugh of York was amongst the
prelates who swore allegiance to William and Mary,
notwithstanding the part he had taken in opposition
to the landing of the former (ante, p. 403). A few of
his clergy remained steadfast in their allegiance to
James. From a list given in the Appendix to Hickes'
" Life of Kettlewell," it appears that there were thirtyone
Non-jurors in the diocese of York. The most
eminent in point of position was Dr. Crowbrough,
Archdeacon of Nottingham and Canon of York and
Southwell.
The names just mentioned of "Hickes" and
" Kettlewell," although neither were beneficed in the
northern province, cannot be passed over in any
notice, however brief, of the Non-jurors connected with
Yorkshire. Both were born within a few miles of North
Allerton, both educated at the grammar-school of
that town, both fellows of Lincoln College, O.xford,
and each occupied no inconspicuous place amongst
those who, at this particular juncture, submitted to
deprivation rather than forego their conscientious
convictions. Dr. George Hickes was Dean of Worcester,
and his life-long friend, John Ketdewell, was
Vicar of Coleshill in Warwickshire. The former was
one of the most eminent scholars of his day 1 the
;
latter held no mean place as a man of learning, but
was still more honourably distinguished for the singular
simplicity and sanctity of his life.
All attempts to conciliate the Non-jurors failed.

Dr. Hickes wrote many controversial works, but is now
chiefly remembered by his books on the Northern Languages,
especially his "Thesaurus Linguarum Vet. Septentrionalium."
