Archbishop Carey has had the job now for eleven years, and makes no secret that he thinks enough is enough; he is 67, and wishes not to stay to the customary retirement age of 70. The outgoing Archbishop, Dr George Carey, has made a notable first of making Lambeth cheerful and welcoming (and keeps a good cellar, unlike some of his more austere predecessors; the Church of England is not noted for food or drink -- Anglican Food also deserves an article to itself -- it is dire). www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2242/is_1634_280/ai_85370540   (1430 words)

Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury and Martyr The rest of the nobles, paying fines, were forgiven, the archbishop of Canterbury only excepted; for as yet the old grudge against Cranmer, for the divorcement of her mother, remained hid in the bottom of her heart; and besides she remembered the state of religion changed, the cause whereof was imputed to him. As concerning the life and estate of Thomas Cranmer, late archbishop of Canterbury, it is first to be noted and considered that the same Thomas Cranmer, coming of an ancient parentage, from the conquest to be deducted, was born in a village called Aslacton, in Nottinghamshire.
