John Argall

John Argall (1540 – 8 October 1606 ) was an English cleric, logician and teacher.

[1] Argall was admitted to Christ Church, Oxford, in the latter part of Queen Mary's reign; took the degree of B.A 22 October 1562 and M.A., 13 February 1565.

"He was always esteemed", says Anthony Wood, "a noted disputant during his stay in the university; was a great actor in plays at Christ Church (particularly when the queen was entertained there, 1566), and, when at ripe years, a tolerable theologist and preacher".

He received 1s per week in addition to his stipend and also received £2 per annum from Christ's Hospital, making his salary up to £11 5s.

[1] He died suddenly at table on the occasion of a feast at Cheston, near Halesworth, and was buried in Halesworth Church on 8 October 1606.
