Donald Renouf...
Can anyone supply a list of Chancellors of the Order of the Garter
since the (relatively recent) time that the office ceased to be held by
the Bishop of Oxford and began being held by one of the Knights?

Thanks, I shal make the correction in my notes.


Apologies, but I don't seem to have noted the date or name of
Carrington's successor.
