John Plemth

John Plemth (alternative spellings include Plente, Plenth, Plenty, Plentith and Plentyth) was the Archdeacon of Lewes from 1478 until his death in 1483.^[1]

Life

A native of Stratford-upon-Avon, he was educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge. He held incumbencies at Sturminster Marshall, Beccles, Brightwalton and Hartfield. His will was dated 9 May 1483; and was proved on 23 August: he requested burial at Exeter Cathedral ^[2]

Legacy

Plemth founded a chantry at King's College, Cambridge, where he was bursar;^[3] he was one of a group of Fellows of the period who endowed priests to sing in King's College Chapel.^[4] For this gift of 160 marks Plente was listed as a benefactor of King's,^[5] and its terms included a requirement that he should be commemorated annually (it is not clear that he was in fact buried at Exeter, rather than King's).^[6] A bequest of his own to Sir John Atkins led to his being remembered also (will of Atkins from 1487).^[7]^[8]
