Historia
Master of Magdalene College, 1797 - 1813
Educated at Peterhouse. Successor Dr Peter Peckard as Master. He was 'a man of no particular distinction who, as vicar of Saffron Walden, archdeacon of essex and a justice of the peace, was known at Audley End' [ie. known to the Visitor who had the power to appoint the Master. At this time the position of Visitor was held jointly by the Revd Dr and Mrs Parker].
He was not greatly interested in academic distinction and had no time for Evangelicas [who dominated Magdalene at this time]. His Mastership marked the start of a downward spiral from which it took a century to emerge.
He served as Vice-Chancellor, 1800-1801.
Most exceptionally, he was buried in the College Ante-Chapel, under a diamond-shaped slab.
