John Madew (died 1555) was an English churchman and academic, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge and Master of Clare Hall.
[1] Madew became Master of Clare Hall after Roland Swynbourne, a committed Catholic, was ejected.
In the audience, in the philosophy schools, were William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton, and all the college Visitors.
[4] Madew was required to defend the Protestant side, against Alban Langdale, William Glyn and others.
[5] On that occasion Nicholas Ridley, there as a moderator of the discussion, frequently took up the argument rather than letting Madew speak.
