Nicholas Bullingham

After his education in law, Bullingham entered the church, becoming Archdeacon of Lincoln in 1549.

On the accession of Queen Mary, Bullingham, being married and Protestant, was deprived of the archdeaconry and his other church positions, and went into exile at Emden.

On the accession of Queen Elizabeth, Bullingham returned to England, resumed his church positions, and became a private chaplain to Archbishop Parker, who often consulted him on legal matters.

[2] Bullingham is buried in Worcester Cathedral in an unusual tomb, with an inscribed tablet on his stomach.

She was the widow of the London mercer and alderman Richard Hill (d.1568), by whom she had had thirteen children, and was the daughter of Sir William Lok and his first wife, Alice Spenser (d.1522).
