Key Information

Sydenham was briefly Archdeacon of Berkshire in 1404, then Archdeacon of Salisbury from 1404 to 1418 and Dean of Salisbury from 1418 to 1431. Between 1417 and 1421 he was rector of Sutton Veny, Wiltshire.[1] He was elected Bishop of Salisbury in 1426 but not consecrated, as his election was quashed the following year.[1]
