John Battely was a 17^th-century English historian who is primarily remembered for his antiquities of Richborough and St. Edmundsbury. Richborough, formerly called Rutupiae during the Roman Conquest in England, was especially intriguing to Battely and his “Antiquitates Rutupinae” proved to be one of the best resources on the origins of the city as well as the Roman colonies in Richborough. It includes numerous references to ancient Romans including Vitruvius, Tacitus, Juvenal, Lucan, and Julius Caesar!

    • William Markham (1719 – 3 November 1807), English divine, served as Archbishop of York from 1777 until his death. He held from time to time a number of livings, and in 1771 was made Bishop of Chester and tutor to the Prince of Wales (later George IV). In 1776 he became Archbishop of York, and also Lord High Almoner and privy councillor. He was a fierce critic of pamphleteer Richard Price concerning the American rebellion. He was for some time a close friend of Edmund Burke, but his strong championship of Warren Hastings caused a breach. He was accused by Lord Chatham of preaching pernicious doctrines, and was a victim of the Gordon Riots in 1780.
