_Thomas Watson, Bishop of St. David's, 1687-99_ (Vol. vii., p.
234.).--This harshly-treated prelate died at Great Wilbraham, near
Cambridge, on June 3, 1717, æt. eighty years; and, from a private letter
written at the time, seems to have been buried in haste in the chancel
of that church, "but without any service," which may perhaps imply that
there was not a funeral sermon, and the ordinary ceremony at a prelate's
burial. It is, however, {366} intimated that he died excommunicated. In
Paulson's _History of Holderness_ is a notice of Bishop Watson, and of
his relatives the Medleys, who are connected with my family by marriage;
but the statement that the bishop "died in the Tower" is incorrect (vol.
i. Part II. p. 283.; vol. ii. Part I. p. 47.; Part II. p. 542., 4to.,
1840-1).
