Foster: son of Henry of Thorp, Surrey, arm., MERTON matric. 3 May 1768 aged 18; BA 1774; MA 1775; BD ALL SOULS 1782; R of Buckland, Surrey; brother of Woolley Leigh.
Assumed that death recorded in 1787 at Walton Cardiff is error for cession not caused by death as other websites record him as having been R of Buckland from 1783 (or 1786) until his death on 9 Dec. 1796. Author of a life of Henry Chichele, Archbishop of Caterbury and founder of All Souls' College, and this man's family were descendants of Chichele.
