Foster: secular chaplain; B. Mus. 3 Apr. 1524; one of these names canon of Hereford 1533; deprived 1559; V of Hereford St John 1545; R of Colwall 1551; precentor of Hereford Cathedral 1554; deprived 1559; see Foster Ind. Eccles and DNB.
Unable to be sure of some of these dates. Fasti Herefs. gives him in list of vicars choral as succentor in 1535; records for prebend of East Withington state his death in 1556, but Foster and DNB seem fairly certain he was deprived in 1559 and may have continued as a music teacher.
