John Penny
John Penny (died 1520) was an English priest, successively Bishop of Bangor, 1504–1508, and Bishop of Carlisle, 1508–1520. He was also Prior to Bradley Priory 1503–1508.
His education is uncertain, though he may have been educated at Lincoln College, Oxford, and later received his LLD from the University of Cambridge.[1][2]
In 1520 Penny died at Leicester Abbey, where he had earlier been the abbot, and was buried at St Margaret's Church in Leicester. The church contains his alabaster effigy, although the rest of the tomb was replaced in 1846.[1]
