John Sherman (died 1671) was an English churchman and academic, archdeacon of Salisbury in 1670, known as a historian of Jesus College, Cambridge.
The Act of Indemnity, however, enabled the former incumbent to retain the living, and Sherman was never instituted.
[1] In 1663 Sherman appears as one of the syndics for restoring the library at Lambeth Palace, and in the following year as one of the twelve university preachers.
[1] Sherman's Historia Collegii Jesu Cantabrigiæ was edited by James Orchard Halliwell (London, 1840).
It gives an account of Jesus College, Cambridge, from its foundation; and also of the earlier nunnery of St. Rhadegund, which stood on the same site.
