Richard Sherry

In 1522 he became a demy of Magdalen College, Oxford, and graduated B.A.

Subsequently, he established himself near London, and devoted himself to original writings and translations.

According to Edward Irving Carlyle writing in the Dictionary of National Biography, Richard Sherry has sometimes been identified with John Sherry (d. 1551), who was in 1541 archdeacon of Lewes and rector of Chailey in Sussex; he became precentor of St. Paul's, London, in 1543, and died in 1551.
