Thomas Lamplugh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Lamplugh (1615 – May 5, 1691) was the son of Thomas Lamplugh Sr., an MP for Cumberland, whose family had been seated at Dovenby in that county for a number of generations. In 1676, he succeeded Anthony Sparrow as Bishop of Exeter.

On receiving the news of the arrival of William of Orange in Tor Bay, Bishop Lamplugh delivered a public address, in which he exhorted the people of his diocese to remain faithful to King James II. He fled to London, together with Dr. Annesley, the Dean. As a reward for Lamplugh's loyalty, James procured him the Archbishopric of York, which had been kept vacant for two years. He was confirmed in his new see before William's arrival in London, but his Jacobitism was of no very profound character and did not prevent him from assisting at William's coronation. He died at York in 1691.
