[1] In 1603 he took the degree of B.D., and some time after he was made chaplain to Dr. John Bancroft, Archbishop of Canterbury, an office which he also held under his successor, George Abbot.
[1] At Bocking he had as curate in the period 1627 to 1631 Nathaniel Rogers, who later emigrated to New England as pastor of Ipswich, Massachusetts.
[1] Barkham had a reputation as an accomplished linguist, an able divine, and an erudite antiquary and historian; but he published comparatively little.
According to Anthony à Wood he composed in his younger days a book on heraldry, which he gave to Guillim, who published it in 1610, with the author's sanction, under his own name.
