The Poems of Richard Corbet, late bishop of Oxford and of Norwich

Note 83 — ITER BOREALE

Reading edition

By the right of Dr. Leonard Hutton, a man of some note in his day, the fellow-collegian and subsequent father-in-law of bishop Corbet. Hutton passed from Westminster School to Christ-Church, of which he afterwards became a canon. It was in his residence at Oxford most probably, and not, as the editors of the Biographia Britannica have conjectured, upon this tour, that Corbet first became acquainted with Hutton’s daughter. By the dean and canons he was presented to the rectory of Flore in Northamptonshire, where he accounted for the first-fruits Aug. 6th, 1601, and to the vicarage of Weedon in the same county in 1602. Having lived to the age of 75 years, he died the 17th of May, 1632, and was buried in the divinity chapel of Christ Church, where a monument remains to his memory.
