VENN: Matric. sizar from TRINITY, Michs. 1554; Scholar, 1555; B.A. 1558-9; M.A. 1562; B.D. 1569. Fellow, 1560. College dean and bursar. Ord. deacon and priest (Ely) Nov. 5, 1564. University preacher, 1565. V. of Heversham, Westmorland, 1570. Preb. of Peterborough, 1586-1607. Probably his will 1608, as of Polebrooke, Northants. (J. Ch. Smith.)
Browne seems to be only reasonable reading of Brewer as canon/prebendary of Peterborough and that turns out to be 5th Stall
Maybe a question on the Branspeth entry - location and also that he is there called DD and there is no record of this degree for him
