Career[edit]

He was educated and became a fellow at Queens’ College, Cambridge, and was ordained a priest in February 1635.[2] He was an adherent to the Laudianism movement. In April 1644 under the parliamentarian purge of the university, he was ejected for non-residence by Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester.[1] In 1647, he was ejected from rectory of Hawkedon for using the outlawed Book of Common Prayer. Following the Restoration, he was reinstated in 1660; and held the post of Archdeacon of Sudbury from then until 1667.. In 1667, he became Bishop of Exeter and in 1676 he was promoted to bishop of Norwich.[1] In his will, he left £100 to the rebuilding of St Paul’s Cathedral.[1]

Marriage & progeny[edit]

He married and left at his death several daughters as his co-heiresses, one of whom was Joan Sparrow (d.1703), wife of Edward Drew (d.1714) of The Grange, Broadhembury, Devon, a Canon of Exeter Cathedral.[3]
