Matthew Hutton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Matthew Hutton can refer to two prominent churchmen in the Church of England:
- Matthew Hutton, Archbishop of York, a 17th century Archbishop of York
- Matthew Hutton, Archbishop of Canterbury, an 18th century Archbishop of both York and later Canterbury
The name can also refer to yet a third Matthew Hutton of this same family. He was born in 1597, eldest living son of Sir Timothy Hutton of Marske, and grandson of the Archbishop of York. Known for his support of the Royalist side during the Civil War, he married Barbara Darcy, the eldest daughter of Conyers, Lord Darcy. Matthew Hutton almost lost the family estates as a result of his Royalist activities; he died in 1666.
