Read through all quotes from Thomas Sprat
The suggestion was that he was playing at being Vicar of Bray. As dean of Westminster he directed Christopher Wren's restoration of the abbey. This became known as the "flowerpot plot" because it involved a conspirator - a man named Robert Young - forging Sprat's signature on a document smuggling it into the Bishop's manor and hiding the paper under a flowerpot.
However Sprat was soon freed when it became clear that there was no case to answer. In 1692 a bizarre attempt was made to implicate him in a plot to restore the deposed king James II. Although he opposed the motion of 1689 declaring the throne vacant he assisted at the coronation of William and Mary.
