Laurence Nowell (priest)

Laurence (or Lawrence) Nowell (died 1576) was an English churchman, who became Archdeacon of Derby and then Dean of Lichfield.

Life

A first cousin of Laurence Nowell the antiquarian, Nowell entered Brasenose College, Oxford, in 1536 and received his M.A. in 1544. Having strong Protestant views, Nowell fled England when Mary took the throne, eventually joining his brother, Alexander Nowell, in Frankfurt.^[1]

Nowell returned to England with the accession of Elizabeth in 1558. That year he became Archdeacon of Derby. In March 1560, he became Dean of Lichfield. He died in 1576, and is believed to be buried at Weston,^[2] Derbyshire.^[1]
