Warham, William

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Warham, William (c.1456–1532), Abp. of Canterbury from 1503. From 1504 to 1515 he was also Lord Chancellor. In 1527 he was T.Wolsey's assessor in the secret inquiry into the validity of Henry VIII's marriage, and in 1530 he signed the petition to the Pope asking him to grant the King the divorce. When, in 1531, the English clergy were bidden to acknowledge Henry as the Supreme Head of the Church in England, Warham introduced the amendment ‘so far as the law of Christ will allow’. In 1532 he formally though ineffectually protested against all Acts of Parliament prejudicial to the Pope.
