Benedict Whateley

Benedict Whateley (b. early 14th century, d. unknown) was the bishop of Dunwich, England in the fourteenth century during the period when a series of storms sent most of the town into the North Sea. His indirect descendant, Sebastian Whateley, owned a restaurant called the Cliff House in Dunwich in the early 21st century.

When Alistair went to Dunwich, he learned about Benedict Whateley and had a meal at the Cliff House. He was somewhat unnerved to discover that there were Whateley's in England, as he'd come across the name on a trip to Dunwich, Massachusets prior to his England trip.
