By letters patent dated 17 December 1540 he reconstituted the suppressed Benedictine monastery of Westminster as a cathedral church, the Cathedral establishment consisting of a bishop, dean, twelve prebendaries and other officers. The patent for the endowment of the Dean and Chapter was not completed until 5 August 1542, when a large part of the estates of the dissolved monastery was assigned to them for their support. Attached to the cathedral was a grammar school of forty scholars under a master and an usher. In the original list of scholars, two are described as “late querister”, presumably boys from the choir school of the dissolved monastery.
