Among the other Nonjuring bishops Nelson was acquainted with, but not very intimately, were Bancroft and Frampton.

He carefully collected materials for the purpose, and though he had not leisure to carry out his design, was of great assistance to Francis Lee in the life which was eventually written. Bishop Ken used to speak of Kettlewell in terms of the highest reverence and esteem.
