Hamon L'Estrange

Hamon L'Estrange (1605–1660) was an English writer on history, theology and liturgy, of Calvinist views, loyal both to Charles I and the Church of England.

Along with Edward Stephens (d. 1706),[1] he contributed to the seventeenth-century revival of interest in ancient liturgies;[2] with John Cosin and Anthony Sparrow he began the genre of commentary on the Book of Common Prayer.

He maintained a Calvinistic sentiment at a time when Laud and several of his circle were wary of Calvinism.

Writing to Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester, 31 August 1644, he spoke of being reconciled to the sense of the parliament.

His eldest son, Hamon, who died 4 May 1717, married three times, and left a large family.
