Henry Holbeach

Henry Holbeach

Henry Holbeach, Bishop of Lincoln (Anglican) was a native of Holbeach, Lincolnshire.

His real name was Henry Randes but on becoming a monk of Crowland he assumed the name of his birthplace. According to his descendant, Cater Rand he was "one of the compilers of the liturgy". Born ca. 1477, he is believed to have been the first of the English (post reformation) bishops to have been married, his wife Joan proving his will on 5 October 1551 and he left a son Thomas Randes. Holbeach developed the sweating sickness and died on 2 August 1551 at Nettleham (some accounts give 6 August as date of death) and was buried there on 7 August 1551.
