Various spellings of this cleric's name - may be Badger, Bridgen, Bridges, Bridger, Brigger(s), Rudger: (see location list for Slimbridge, Glos, 1577-1630)
Foster: likely to be Laurence Bridger, fellow of Magdalen Oxford [Magdalen patrons of Slimbridge] BA 1570, MA 1574, prebendary of Gloucester - date given as 1586. Also date of death given in Foster as 1625 which not likely to be correct. See Le Neve, i, 448.
He was prebendary of Gloucester 1580 to 1625, presented by queen 2 Nov. 1580: resigned by 19 Nov. 1625 (Fasti Vol. 8) which does suggest he did not die in that year but continued at Slimbridge until 1630
