Robert Catton Prior of Norwich

Colin posted this article on our Facebook page above Prior Catton and I thought I would draw your attention to it.  The  door plate in Norwich Cathedral bears the letters, 'RCPN’ which refers to Robert Catton who was the Prior during the 15th century, so who was this man?  It appears he was far from perfect during his reign as Prior of Norwich and also as Abbot of St Albans.  The latter post came as a result of winning the favour of Henry VIII for a while.  Here is the link to find out more about the not so perfect Prior:
