William Booth (archbishop)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Booth (died 12 September 1464) was Bishop of Lichfield, (1447-1452) before being elected Archbishop of York (1452 – 1464).
Before election to Lichfield he was rector of Prescot Parish Church, Lancashire from 1441.
In 1452 he granted leave to Robert Godale, monk of Whitby and prior of Middlesbrough Priory, that, owing to its poverty, the prior or his monk-associate might serve the parish church and minister to the parishioners in place of a secular chaplain, thus saving the expenses of the latter. This leave the archbishop repeated, in 1459 to William Colson, who had then become prior.
