Giles Lawrence

Giles Lawrence, DCL was a scholar and English Anglican priest in the 16th century.

[3] He was appointed Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford in 1548, replacing George Etherege.

[3] During at least part of Mary's reign he was tutor to the children of Sir Arthur Darcy, during which time he assisted in the flight of John Jewel to Germany.

[7] He presumably owed his Wiltshire livings to the good offices of Jewel, who had been consecrated as Bishop of Salisbury in 1560 and whose funeral sermon he preached in 1571.

[3] His only known surviving manuscript is in the collection of Matthew Parker at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, although he is also known to have been involved in the 1572 revision of the Bishops' Bible.
