Before the mid-19th century[edit]

I'm trying to cover 150-odd years before Bentinck. Before that, I have added Widmore's list to the article, though given the age and acknowledged incompleteness of the source, this was perhaps not a good idea. I have found the following sources. Grateful for input from @DBD:, and anyone else who might make a useful contribution. Is this information usable? LookLook36 (talk) 23:52, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1640 - Thomas Wilson
1660 - John Sudbury (resigned prebend 1662)
1664 - Henry Killigrew
1672, 1689 - Richard Busby (†1695)
1701, 1704, 1710 - Peter Birch (†1710)
1710, 1711, 1712 James Sartre (†1713 - Alum.Oxon. Westminster Abbey)
1713, 1716 - Robert South (†1716)
1728 - John Herbert (†1729 - Alum.Oxon.)
1751 - Scawen Kenrick (†1753; I haven't sourced the 1734 given on Dean and Chapter of Westminster)
1807 Samuel Smith (†1808)
1823, 1832 - Joseph Allen (resigned prebend 1836)
1841, 1842 - Thomas Causton (†1842; not Thomas Causton the Tudor composer)
1843, 1846, 1849 - William Bentinck (His tenure as Archdeacon was previously backdated to 1809, when he was appointed to the prebend. I have used 1854, which is supported by sources but otherwise dubious (see his page, note B).

Oh wow. I don't think it occurred to me there were Archdeacons of Westminster before Bentinck. Alas they aren't listed in fasti ecclesiae Anglicanae (though the Canons are! [1]). I wonder if @Bashereyre: can think of a great source. The Clergy List (from 1861) and Crockford (and 1888) might be helpful; but I only have access to most of those in the flesh what Lampeth Palace Library reopens. I'll keep thinking on it. Good work.
