York Minster
Monument to Archbishop Matthew Hutton 1605 in the south choir aisle. Above are his arms Hutton impaling the arms of the See of Durham and the See of York.
Below the reclining figure of Matthew Hutton are his 2 sons Timothy & Thomas behind probably their mother Beatrix Fincham (a daughter would surely kneel behind ?)
" You see here, reader, the effigy of his body; would you see also the image of his mind, think of Ambrose or of Augustine, for he possessed the genius and acuteness of the one, the accuracy and judgment of the other."
This monument was damaged in the fire of 1829 and restored in 1844 by the then sheriff, Sir Timothy Hutton. It was restored and repainted a second time in 1977 at the expense of the Hutton family.

He m1 1564 Catherine 1565 daughter of Godfrey Fulnetby by Elisabeth daughter of Edward Goodrich & Jane Williamson; Catherine was a niece of Bishop Thomas Goodrich of Ely.

During his years as Archbishop of York, Matthew continued his tradition of being outspoken to the point of bluntness and he did not hesitate to speak the truth (as he saw it) to any person, including the Queen. When summoned in 1596 to give a sermon at court before the Queen, he spoke on the importance of establishing a royal succession and specifically named the king of Scots To say the Queen was offended by this speech would be a gross understatement. Hutton later told a friend that he left "scarcely knowing whether he were a prisoner or a free man.
Matthew continued up until his death to urge for a relaxation in the persecution of the puritans.
