Samuel Rutter was Bishop of Sodor and Man between 1660 and 1662 (or 1663).

It is suggested in the Mona Miscellaney [1][2] that Sam Rutter was probably a native of Lancashire, educated at Westminster school, and elected from there in 1623, to Christ Church, Oxford. He was nominated as Archdeacon of Man in 1640. He was appointed Prebendary of Longden, in the cathedral of Lichfield (being M.A.) 24 November 1660 and confirmed as Bishop of Sodor and Man on 5 October 1661. His consecration was on 24 March 1660-1 (the last day of the Restoration year).

He was a chaplain to the James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby, and was at Lathom House during its first siege. He was also "the chosen friend counsellor, and afterwards chaplain, of the noble-minded Countess, during all her troubles, and it was principally through her influence that he succeeded to the bishopric."

He is reported has having been "grave and devout, temperate and dignified, and unfortunately was worn out, though not an old man, when he became a bishop, and died in the Isle of Man" on 30 May in either 1662 (according to Le Reve) or says he died in 1663 (according to Seacome). (see Stanley Papers, part iii. vol. i. pp. cxxx.-ii., note; Chetham Society)

His body was interred in the chancel of St. German's Cathedral in Peel Castle and there one can find an inscription, that he is alleged to have written himself. A translation of it reads as follows:

In this house which I have borrowed from my brothers the worms

in the hope of the resurrection to life

lie I SAM by divine grace Bishop of this Island.

Stay reader, behold and laugh at the Bishop's palace.

He wrote numerous pieces of poetry for the Earl of Derby's amusement, but not many of them have been published.
