Edward Ecclestone (c.1647–1675) was an English cleric, rector of St Mary's, Oldswinford in Worcestershire.
[3] According to Nash[4] (citing the Register of Bishop Walter Blandford), Foley presented Ecclestone as rector of Oldswinford on 17 May 1673.
[5] Edward Ecclestone has been identified as the author of a verse version of Noah's Flood,[6] a sequel to Dryden's The State of Innocence (1677).
[9] Although it is possible Noah's Flood was the posthumous publication of Edward Ecclestone of Oldswinford, it is less likely that the subsequent versions could be attributed to his authorship.
A second Edward Eccleston(e) is listed as a graduate of Oxford and is described as the son of Thomas of Middlesex, "gent".
