  Admitted to All Souls, Oxford, as a fellow in 1465, vacated in 1479. "William Elyot held a great many church and civil offices over the course of his career, as summarized by Emden. Besides holding various rectories, canonships, etc., he was a Clerk of the Chancery by 1484 and from 1485 to 1487 was, with Robert Morton, Keeper of the Rolls in the Office of Chancery. He ended his career as Archdeacon of Barnstable, Canon Residentiary of Salisbury, Canon and Prebendary of Exeter, Chancellor of Salisbury, and Provost of St. Edmund's College in Salisbury. Most of the positions held by William had incomes of various types, making him a wealthy man." [Kelly M. Keegan, citation details below]
