It would seem that VENN is wrong about the second living. John Robinson (CCED ID 102259) was appointed rector at Little Gransden 1587 and was there until his death 1597/8 - VCH confirms, and states that this rectory used for the support of heads of Cambridge Colleges, which included this JR. The Gransden entries are for Little Gransden.
