DR. MATTHEW HUTTON, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. A MORE particular account of the late DR. MATTHEW HUTTON, successively Bishop of Bangor, Archbishop of York, and Archbishop of Canterbury.12 The great and good man of whom we are now going to treat was born at Marske, January the 3rd, 1692-3. In the year 1701, he was sent to school at Kirby Hill, near Richmond, under the care of the Rev. Mr. Loyd, who had been educated at Jesus College in Cambridge. At Whitsuntide 1704, he removed to Rippon, with Mr. Loyd, newly elected Master of the Free School in that town. He continued there till Whitsuntide 1710. On the 22nd of June, 1710, Mr. Hutton was admitted in Jesus College in Cambridge, where he took the degree of Batchelor of Arts in 1713, and that of Master in 1717.13 On the 8th of July, 1717, he was elected Fellow of Christ's College; and, when arrived to a proper age, entered into Deacon's and Priest's orders. Shortly after, Charles, Duke of Somerset, appointed him one of his domestic Chaplains, in the room of Dr. Grigg; whom his Grace, as Chancellor of the University, had put in Master of Clare Hall, because the Fellows had not chosen a Master within the time limited; and, upon the death of Dr. Grigg, in 1726, Mr. Hutton succeeded him in the Rectory of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, at the presentation of the said Duke. In 1728, he was created Doctor in Divinity, at the Royal Commencement; 14 and, in 1729, he succeeded Dr Darwin in the great living of Spofforth, near Wetherby in Yorkshire, at the presentation of the same noble Duke, his patron. Abp. Blackbourne 12 This is such an instance as cannot be matched in the whole catalogue of our English Bishops, nor perhaps of any other, that two persons of the same name and surname should be raised to the same dignity of Archbishop of York. 13 From the University Registers. 14 From the same. gave him also a Prebend in the Cathedral of York. Being made one of the King's Chaplains in ordinary, he attended his present Majesty K. George to Hanover in 1736; soon after which, he had a Canonry of Windsor given him, 15 which he exchanged, 18th May 1739, for a Prebend of Westminster, vacant by the resignation, or flight of R. Thistlethwait.16 Upon the translation of Bp. Herring to the Archbishopric of York, Dr. Hutton was nominated to succeed him in the Bishopric of Bangor, and was consecrated in Lambeth Palace, 13th November, 1743, by commission from Abp. Potter (then indisposed) directed to the Bishops of Rochester, Exeter, Worcester, and Bristol.17 And, upon the removal of Abp. Herring from York to Canterbury, Bishop Hutton succeeded him in the Primacy of York. Accordingly, he was confirmed Archbishop of York, 10th December, 1747, in the parish Church of St. Martin's in the Fields, by Thomas, Archbishop of Canterbury; the Bishops of Rochester, Lichfield and Coventry, Bristol, and Chichester, being present and assisting.18 As he had followed Abp. Herring in all his other removes, so he followed him to Canterbury. For, upon the death of that Prelate, 19 in the beginning of the year 1757, our most worthy Primate, Abp. Hutton, was named his successor; and on Friday, the 29th of April, 1757, was confirmed Archbishop of Canterbury, in the parish Church of St. Mary Le Bow, London, by Richard Lord Bishop of Durham, his colleagues, the Bishops of Oxford, Worcester, Ely, Bath and Wells, Lincoln, and Hereford, being then present and consenting.20 Shortly after, he was elected President of the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy, and of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts; and one of the Governors of the Charter House; and also appointed one of the Lords of his Majesty's most Honorable Privy Council. On the 24th of May, 1757, he confirmed, in 15 He was installed, 26 March, 1737. 16 Widmore's History of Westminster Abbey. 17 Upon this he resigned his stall at Westminster. 18 Register Herring. 19 Abp. Herring dyed, March 13, 1757, at his palace in Croydon. 20 Regist. Hutton. 21 On Wednesday, the 18th of May 1757, he consecrated a piece of ground adjoining to the Churchyard of the parish of Saint Mary, Newington, in the county of Surrey, as an additional burying-ground for ever: the inhabitants the Church of St. George's, Hanover Square, his successor in the See of York, Dr. John Gilbert, late Bishop of Sarum; and, September the 3rd, consecrated, in Lambeth Chapel, Dr. Richard Terrick, Bishop of Peterburgh. A dispute having arisen between his Grace and his predecessor's executors about the dilapidations at Lambeth Palace, he never had an opportunity of going to live there, which he could not well do till they were settled. But he resided two or three months in the summer at Croydon Palace; and, when in town, lived at his own house in Duke Street, Westminster. His short, too short indeed, enjoyment of his dignity, did not permit him to settle properly in any of his Archiepiscopal Palaces. For, within less than a year after his translation to Canterbury, he was unhappily snatched away from his friends, and from the Church of England, to which he might have been much longer (considering his years) a great advantage, protection, and ornament. He had been for some time remarkably well. On the 16th of March, 1758, he heard a sermon preached before the Governors of the London Hospital; from whence he went to the House of Lords, where he stay'd till near nine o'clock at night. He supped heartily; rested well; and went the next day, Friday, 17th of March, to the House of Lords, where he stayed till past eight o'clock at night. When he went to bed, he complained of being fatigued. The next morning early, Saturday, March the 18th, he was taken extremely ill of an inflammation in the bowels, occasioned, in all probability, by a rupture which he had been afflicted with for some years. All possible methods were used to save his life: but he grew worse in the evening, and continued so all the next day, March 19, till towards ten o'clock at night, when he expired at his house in Duke Street, Westminster, aged 65. His Grace having always desired to be buried as privately as possible, either in the Churches of Lambeth or Croydon, his lady and daughters, whom he had appointed his executrixes, caused him to be brought from his house in Duke Street, to Lambeth Palace; and to be buried privately in the Chancel of Lambeth Church, on Easter Monday, March 27, in the evening having previously obtained an Act of Parliament for that purpose.- Register Hutton. |
