 He died on 16 November 1531, and was buried in the convent chapel.This is the date given by Theodore Petre, the biographer of the Carthusians.If the statement of Maurice Chauncy, a contemporary of Batmanson's, that his successor Houghton, who was executed for refusing the oath of supremacy, died on 4 May 1535, ‘in the fifth year of his priorate,’ be correct, Batmanson must have resigned the office some months before his death.
