Lord Treasurer and Chancellor to Edward III [Ref: Beltz KnightsofGarter p45]
heir of his lands in Northamptonshire was his nephew, Sir Walter PAVELEY [Ref:
Beltz KnightsofGarter p94]
HENRY BURGHERSH, Treasurer, and afterwards Chancellor, of England; grandson
[actually maternal uncle] of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, the great Baron of
Leeds Castle, by whose influence he obtained his bishopric. Not long before
his death, which occurred at Ghent, Bishop Burghersh had enclosed a park or
deer chase, at Tinghurst, and in order to do so effectually had seized on
certain lands held by some of his poorer neighbours. Their imprecations on the
Bishop were loud and deep; and Walsingham asserts that after his death he
appeared to one of his friends, dressed in a short coat of Lincoln green, with
a horn slung round his neck, and carrying a bow and arrows. As a punishment
for his wrongs against the poor, he declared that he had been made keeper of
the chase at Tinghurst; and that he was condemned to wander about it until the
fences should be again thrown down and the lands restored to their former
owners. The Canons of Lincoln accordingly, having been duly informed of the
Bishop's distress, proceeded to relieve him in the way he had pointed out.
Bishop Burghersh's tomb remains at the end of the retro-choir. [Ref: John
