| Notes |
- Mr. Chester Master, in his interesting book on Parish Registers, tells us that the last divorce for spiritual affinity in England was enforced in our own neighbourhood. Thomas Luttrell, a cadet of the Luttrells of Dunster Castle, had in the reign of Edward V been contracted to Margaret Hadley, the infant heiress of Withycombe Hadley, notwithstanding that she was the goddaughter of T. Luttrell's mother, Mrs. Margaret Luttrell. ..A sentence of divorce and excommunication was decreed against them. Pope Paul IV... released the unhappy pair from their sentence in 1558, on the understanding that they should be re-married. The marriage, however, did not take place until the Roman Catholic Bishop of Bath and Wells had been deposed from his see for refusing to take the oath of supremacy to Elizabeth, when the proceedings at Rome appear to have been quietly ignored, and the two young people were married at East Quantoxhead on August 7th, 1560.
