Nicholas Felton (bishop)

He was born in Great Yarmouth and educated at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge.

[3] St Antholin's was on Watling Street, and it has been suggested that the 1606 play The Puritan, or the Widow of Watling Street alludes to Felton through the name Nicholas St Antlings of one of the Widow's serving men.

King Charles I of England supported Buckingham, and this contest became a test of strength of the religious groups, Puritan and Anglican.

[6] He employed as chaplain Edmund Calamy, who had studied at Pembroke, already dissenting from orthodox Anglican belief.

[7] His death was the occasion of an early Latin poem by John Milton.
