Thetford edit

In the lists of episcopal succession in Crockford's Clerical Directory, the entry for Thetford includes the line,

1570-1894 in abeyance

Yet George Hickes was apparently bishop of Thetford for some of that time.--Oxonian2006 10:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hickes was a non-juror, i.e. schismatic as far as the Church of England was concerned. Charles Matthews (talk) 22:18, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
