About Robert Sutton
Robert Sutton was a priest.
Robert Sutton (died 1 April 1528) was an Irish priest in the late Fifteenth century and the early decades of the Sixteenth century: he was Archdeacon of Dublin from 1498 to 1508; and then Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin from 1527 to 1528. It was said that he never set foot in the cathedral during his term of office (admittedly brief) as Dean. He died in April 1528, bequeathing all his property to his nephew William, son of his brother Lawrence.
A brass monument in the Cathedral commemorates both Sutton and his successor Geoffrey Fyche, Dean from 1529 to 1537.
