CREW, NATHANIEL CREW, 3RD BARON (1633-1721), bishop of Durham, was born on Jan. 31, 1633, and educated at Lincoln college, Oxford. After holding various ecclesiastical ap pointments, he became bishop of Oxford in 1671, of Durham in 1674, and, under James II., dean of the Chapel Royal. After Compton's suspension Crew shared the administration of the See of London with Spratt, bishop of Rochester. During the last years of James's power he made a bid for the favour of the new government by voting for the motion that James had ab dicated. He was excepted from the General Pardon of 169o, but afterwards was allowed to retain the See of Durham. In 1697 Crew succeeded his brother Thomas as 3rd Baron Crew. He died on Sept. 18, 1721, when the barony became extinct.
