Life
Some historians say John's ancestry is unknown,[1] but others say he was the son of a canon, or priest. Although Greenford is a location in Middlesex, no contemporary record gives him that name, and it not known when the surname was first attached to John.[2] He was a prebend of London, and Dean of Chichester,[3] holding the office of dean for over 20 years.[2] He was elected to the see of Chichester in late April 1173, and consecrated on 6 October 1174.[4] As he is said to have been the son of a priest, he obtained a papal dispensation in the summer of 1174.[5] He died on 26 April 1180.[4] Besides his profession of obedience to the Archbishop of Canterbury, another 13 documents of John's survive.[6]
