a Roman Catholic prelate of the 16th century, was born in Shropshire, and was successively scholar, fellow, and provost of King's College, Cambridge, which office he retained with the bishopric of Chichester, to which he was consecrated in 1543. He was a most pertinacious Romanist, for which he was deprived of his benefice under Edward VI, and restored by queen Mar . He died in 1556. See Fuller, Worthies of England (ed. Nuttall), 3:59.
