Anthony Kitchin (1477 โ 31 October 1563), also known earlier as Dunstan Kitchin, was a mid-16th-century Abbot of Eynsham Abbey and then, Bishop of Llandaff in the Catholic Church under Henry VIII and eventually under Mary. He Seems to have had no qualms about the breach with Rome under Henry VIII, the Protestant Reformation under Edward VI and though reconciled as a Catholic under Mary I, accepted to serve when Protestantism returned under Elizabeth I.
