Foster: Lydall, Robert, s. Ric., of Oxford (city), DMed. Merton Coll., matric. 16 Oct 1695, aged 16; demy Magdalen Coll. 1697-1705, BA 1699, MA 1702, BD 1710, fellow 1705-25, librarian 1709, vice-president 1720, vicar of Chesterton, Oxon, 1707, rector of Wytham, Berks, 1712, and of Stanlake, Oxon, 1724, until his death 20 Feb 1741-2; brother of Richard 1684 and John 1694.

The puzzling thing about this career record is that the patron of the vicarage of Chesterton was New College, Oxford, with which RL appears to have no connection.
