Foster: B. Can. L. 8 May 1531; BCL and after 8 years study and 2 years practice DCL 11 July 1543; advocate in Doctors' Commons 1550; principal Broadgates Hall; canon 1546 and Archdeacon of Gloucester 1554; chancellor to Bishop of Gloucester; canon Hereford 1554; died Dec. 1558; see Rudge "History of County of Gloucestershire (1811), 244; Coote's Civilians, 38 & Fasti ii, 119, 134; one of these names beneficed in Gloucestershire as R of Rockhampton 1544, of Beverstone 1546; V of Painswick 1548; R of Syddington St Mary 1549; Archdeacon of Gloucester with the rectory of Dursley 1552; [V of Dymock 1554] and of Colne St Denis 1554; see Foster Ind. Eccles.
Likely not V of Dymock as this is likely to be another of the name (ID 45207) and Dymock is the only benefice listed in Foster which is not mentioned by Rudge. Rudge may be wrong about date of death - he says December 1558; Fasti lists death as prebendary and as archdeacon as August 1559
