He died 14 May 1615, aged 73, and was buried in the chappel of St. George at Windsor, near to the body of his father, and not in the cath. ch. at Rochester near to the bodies of his sometimes wives, Isabel and Anne. Charles SoNiBANKEof Ch. Ch.—This person, who was a Salopian born, and originally of St. Mary’s hall, was now canon of Windsor,2 rector of Hasely in the county of Oxon, and possessor of the donative of Wrotham in Kent. I have seen a sermon of his entit. The Eunuch's Conversion, preached at Paul’s cross on Acts 8. 26, 27, 28, &c. Lond. 1617, oct. [Bodl. 8vo. W. 12. Tli.] And what else he hath published I know not. Quaere. He died on the 12 Oct. 1638, and was buried in the chancel of the church at Hasely before¬ mention’d. Jul. 8. Rich. Pilkington of Queen’s coll. Francis Bradshaw of Magd. coll, was admitted the same day.— He was born of a genteel family in Bucks, was a dig¬ nitary in the church,5 and hath written ceitain matters of divinity, as some antients of his coll, have told me, yet all that I have seen which he hath published, is only a sermon entit. The World's Wisdom, or, the Politician's Beligion; On Psal. 14. 1. Oxon. 1598, oct. July 8. Matthew Davies of New coll.—He was brother to sir Joh.

George Benson of Queen’s coll, was admitted the same day.—He was about this time canon residentiary of Here¬ ford, and parson of Rock in Worcestershire, author of A Sermon at Paul's Cross, on Hosea 7- from ver. 7 to 12.

He was born of a genteel family in Westmorland, was fellow of Qu. coll, proctor of the university, and died (at Rock I think) about 1647. Jan. 14. Geor. Darrel of All-s. coll.'*—This person, ditary office in the time of our British princes was, to assist the bp. of Bangor to place the crown on the prince’s head on the coronation day, and to have the apparell the prince was crowned in for his fee. The wife of John Prees Wynn, and Dr. Gwynn’s mother was Margaret Woods, the daughter of Wil¬ liam Woods of Llangwyfen and Talyllin, and Ellin Owen of Bodeon his wife, which Woods was paternally descended from Rich. Wood of Wood-hall in Lancashire. DT. Wynn was born at Bodfeddan in the parish of Llanbenlan in Anglisey. His elder brother was Rhees Wynn serjeant at law, whose daughter and heir was married to Sr. Justinian Lewyn, Kb and LL. D. He bestowed on Jesus coll, the impropriate rectory of Holy-head, to the intent that one quarter of the profits of it should be for the maintenance of a preacher, another quarter for two reading curates and the poor, and the other two quarters or one full half for the maintenance of two fellows and two scho¬ lars, as I take it to be chosen out of the Isle of Anglisey, if such be found, and in default of such out of the diocese of Landaf. This rectory when he purchased and bestowed it was well worth 200 lib. per an. but by the poverty of the country, and some other circumstances, it is now set for about 120 lib. if so much.
