Foster: fellow of ALL SOULS' 1568-85; BA 17 Feb. 1568/9; MA 2 May 1573; BD 21 Jun. 1585; R of Warmington, Worcs. [CCED records state WARNDON] 1581; V of Brailes, Warwicks. 1584; R of Knightwick, Worcs. 1587; canon of Worcester 1586 and of Hereford 1589 until his death Mar. 1598/9; see Foster Ind. Eccles.
Some errors in records; death record of 1598 in name of Thomas Tovye as holding Cublington - could be because the successor to William Tovey here was a Thomas Bache and first name may have been copied - no Thomas Tovey is recorded in Fasti Herefordenses as having held prebend of Cublington. Similarly no Tovey held prebend of E. Withington, neither a William nor a Thomas and this is therefore likely to be a scribe's error for Cublington.
