Early Life and Education

Matthew Hutton was thought to have been born in 1529 at Priest Hutton in Warton, Lancashire, the son of Matthew Hutton.^[1][2][3] He had two brothers: Edmund Hutton, who settled in Lancashire; and Robert Hutton, D.D., who became a Rector of Houghton le Spring and later a Prebendary of Durham.^[4][5]

Early Career

In 1561 Matthew Hutton was appointed chaplain to Edmund Grindal, the bishop of London (whom he succeeded the following year as Master of Pembroke), and also became the Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Cambridge.^[3][13] In 1562 he was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity and a Prebendary of St Paul's Cathedral in London.^[3] He was selected as one of the preachers at Whitehall by Archbishop Matthew Parker and in 1564 he further distinguished himself by presiding over a formal disputation during the Queen's visit to Cambridge.^[3] He was recognized as one of the most eloquent scholars in the university and soon held the additional prebendaries of Ely, Westminster, York, and Southwell.^[2]

In 1566 he was appointed to deliver a sermon before the Queen during the time of Lent, and Bishop Grindal, his mentor, held him in such high esteem that he was also invited to preach at St Paul's Cross several times that same year.^[14] A true disciple of Grindal, Matthew adopted a moderate position and refused to be drawn into the most heated controversies of the time. At Cambridge, that was the vestiarian debate--whether strict conformity should be enforced over the color and style of the gowns worn by those within the university. Matthew was one of six signers of what became a rather infamous letter to Chancellor Burghley^[15] seeking to convince him to moderate the enforcement of such strict policies--not because he felt strongly one way or the other about the issue, but because he saw it as being unnecessarily devisive to the university and the church.^[15] Instead he chose to focus on the threat presented by Rome and the need for all protestants to form a united front against popery.

In 1567, at the age of only 38, Matthew Hutton was elevated to the position of Dean of York.^[3][14]

Dean of York

As Dean of York, Hutton became zealous (and very outspoken) about preserving the rights of the church. In particular, he took great offense to any attempt to award prebendaries to non-ministers as a form of political patronage. One Mr. Hammond, a very rich merchant from Yorkshire, applied to have the prebendary of Riccall (which was considered very valuable) given to his son, "a boy of tender age and little learning or discretion."^[16] The Dean refused to even consider this request, and despite political pressure, the living was given to a preacher. In another instance, John Gibson, LL.D. and Praecentor of York, received a dispensation from the Queen in 1582 allowing him the advantages of a canon residentiary "whether he be present or absent."^[17] Although the dispensation was signed and sealed by the Queen, Hutton refused to honor it. There followed a flurry of correspondence from those who clearly thought he had lost his mind. The clerk of the Council pleaded with him that "Dr. Gibson had great friends whose credit with her majestie might do very much" and even Bishop Grindall tried to persuade him of the wisdom of complying with the Queen's order, but he remained unmoved.^[18] He wrote to the Earl of Huntingdon (Lord President of the North) of his strong oppositon "... that he [Mr Gibson] being absent, and keeping no residence, may have and enjoye all the commodities due to a residentiarie: for the which I am verie sorrie; not onlie because it is contrarie to our statutes, whereunto we are all sworne, and shall be taken out of the livinge of the residenciaries, some being not well able to spare it; but also because it doth open a window, which (if it be not speeedelie shutt) is like utterlie to overthrow the state of our churche."^[19] His outspokeness and refusal to engage in political gamesmanship may have contributed to his remaining the Dean of York for over twenty years before being elevated to Bishop.

The other contributing factor was his ongoing feud with Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York. The two men clashed soon after Sandys arrived in the north. Sandys was said to be of a "restless and contentious disposition" and tried to stir up trouble by exaggerating the extent of the puritan problem in the northern province.^[18] He was jealous of Hutton's close friendship with the Earl of Huntingdon (who was at that time Lord President of the North), and not happy that some of the leases of church properties that Dean Hutton had prevented from going through had been to members of Sandys's own family.^[3] The tension between Sandys and Hutton came to a head during the Archbishop's visitation to Durham in 1578, when he derided William Whittingham (another of Hutton's close friends) for not obtaining his ordination within the Church of England. Whittingham defended his orders (which were from Geneva) as being equivalent to those of Sandys. When Hutton supported his friend, Sandys told him "if you defend and like so well of those orders leave your own orders and take those." To which Hutton responded "No, my Lord, my orders are better than yours....for I was made minister by the order of the Queen's Majesty and laws now established and your grace a priest after the order of popery."^[20] Hutton was forced to submit a formal apology for these remarks several days later but his relationship with Archbishop Sandys remained fraught with tension. Sandys blocked any further promotions for Dean Hutton and at one point attempted to get him transferred outside the province, saying "I cannot live with that man"^[18] but Hutton was able to circumvent these manuevers. Sandys died in 1588, and the following year Matthew Hutton was elevated to Bishop of Durham.^[21]

Bishop of Durham

As Bishop of Durham, Matthew Hutton continued to support the monarch's supreme authority in all religious matters, and although he remained hostile to Catholicism he believed that papists should be won over by persuasion rather than by force.^[3] This is illustrated most clearly by the letters he sent to Burghley advocating for the Lady Margaret Neville. Margaret's father Charles (6th earl of Westmoreland) had been condemned to death for his part in the rebellion. Margaret herself was caught providing shelter to a priest, whereon both Margaret and the priest were sentenced to die. He wrote that "[Margaret] is wholly reformed in religion. She sore lamenteth with tears that she hath offended so gracious a Sovereign and her laws....I do assure myself that, if her Highness were truly informed of her lamentable state and true repentance, she would take pity and compassion on her....she hath confessed unto me, and I verily believe it to be true, that partly want did cause her to wade to woe [her mother had died shortly after her father was put to death and Margaret had no financial means by which to support herself]....and so little by little did [she] forsake both her religion to God and her loyalty to her Sovereign: for both the which she is heartily sorry and most humbly craveth one drop of her Majesty's mercy."^[22] Hutton wrote a series of these letters urging clemency for Lady Margaret and succeeded not only in saving her life, but in arranging for her to receive a small pension so that she would not be forced to live in poverty.^[1]

After serving as Bishop of Durham for approximately five years, Matthew Hutton was elevated to the position of Archbishop of York. It is worth noting that, as a condition of this promotion, Robert Cecil tried to obtain the prebendary of Morton Priory for his brother-in-law, George Brooke. Still refusing to bend on the issue of not allowing prebendaries to become political appointments, Hutton refused. He told Cecil that "I never hurt any ecclesiastical living in my life and I am loth to begin now when one of my feet is almost in the grave."^[3] Cecil relented, and Matthew was translated from Durham to the Archbishopric of York.^[2]

Archbishop of York

One of Matthew's first acts as Archbishop was to establish a grammer school and an almshouse in Warton, Lancashire, the place where he was born.^[23] The importance of education remained a focus for him throughout his life. Near the end of his time as Archbishop, he took inordinate pride in the fact that two thirds of the young men he had ordained were either graduates or had at least spent time studying at a university. Raising the educational standards of the clergy was important to him.^[3]

Matthew had been back in York less than a year when his good friend Henry Hastings, Earl of Huntingdon, died. The Queen appointed Matthew to replace him as President of the North and he did so, while objecting that he would much rather her majesty send "some fit nobleman" to fill the postion.^[24] He continued to serve in this postion (and trying to convince the Queen to send someone else up to do it) for the next five years.^[1]

During his years as Archbishop of York, Matthew continued his tradition of being outspoken to the point of bluntness and he did not hestitate to speak the truth (as he saw it) to any person, including the Queen. When summoned in 1596 to give a sermon at court before the Queen, he spoke on the importance of establishing a royal succession and specifically named the king of Scots.^[3] To say the Queen was offended by this speech would be a gross understatement. Hutton later told a friend that he left "scarcely knowing whether he were a prisoner or a free man."^[3]

Matthew continued up until his death to urge for a relaxation in the persecution of the puritans.^[1]He died 16 January 1606 at Bishopthorpe, and was buried in the south choir aisle at York Minster.^[25][26] He left behind a landed estate valued at £500 per annum.^[27]

Marriages and Children

Matthew married (first) around 1564 Catherine Fulmesby, a niece of Bishop Thomas Goodrich of Ely. Catherine died within a short time of their marriage although the exact date of her death is unknown.^[2]

He married (second) Beatrix Fincham on 25 August 1567 at Downham, Cambridge.^[28][2] With Beatrix, Matthew had the following children:

1. Elizabeth Hutton Remington; baptised 20 March 1568;^[29][30] married Richard Remington ^[31]
2. Timothy Hutton; born c.1569;^[32][33] married 1592 Elizabeth Bowes;^[34][35] died 1629^[32][36]
3. Thomas Hutton; baptised 23 April 1570;^[37] died 24 April 1570^[37]
4. Thomasine Hutton Gee; baptised 17 April 1572;^[38] married William Gee^[39]
5. Ralph Hutton; baptised 19 September 1574^[40]
6. Anne Hutton; baptised 25 December 1575;^[41] died 29 January 1576^[41]
7. Anne Hutton Calverley; baptised 22 January 1577;^[42] married Sir John Calverley, Knt. of Littleburne^[31]
8. Matthew Hutton; baptised 27 February 1580^[43]
9. Thomas Hutton; born 1581; ^[44] married Anne Bennet^[44] died 23 January 1620^[45]

Beatrix Hutton died 5 May 1582 at Bishopthorpe.^[46]

Matthew married (third) Frances Clopton (widow of Martin Bowes) on 20 November 1582 in St Michael-le-Belfry Church at York.^[47][2] There were no children from this marriage.

Research Notes

Joseph Foster's Yorkshire Pedigrees, pub.1874, lists Robert Hutton, D.D. as the son of Matthew's brother Edmund rather than as Matthew's second brother. This is contradicted by the pedigree which Dr. Ducarel, head librarian of Lambeth Palace, prepared in 1758 for Matthew Hutton, Archbishop of Canterbury. The History and Antiquities of Masham, published in 1865, also lists Edmund, Matthew and Robert as three sons of Matthew Hutton of Priest Hutton. Foster does not give a source for placing Robert as Matthew's nephew rather than his brother, so lacking evidence to the contrary this profile uses the pedigree written by Dr. Ducarel.

Dr. Ducarel's pedigree of the Hutton family ^[5] also lists two additional sons of Matthew and Beatrix Fincham: Mark and Stephen, with the notation "died young" (presumably they may have died in childbirth). Because these two children are not referenced in any other known sources, no birth dates are given, and there do not appear to be any baptism or burial records, they have not been included in this profile. However, if any sources can be discovered their names will be added.
