Richard Stock

Richard Stock (1569 – 1626) was an English clergyman and one of the Puritan founders of the Feoffees for Impropriations.

Fuller also says he gained the nickname “green-head” when a young preacher at Paul's Cross, attacking inequality.

He preached against the Lord Mayor, too, in 1603, when he was a lecturer at St Augustine Watling Street in London.

[3] At All Hallows, he was the young John Milton's parish priest, and may have had a say in choosing his teachers.

[6] Later Stock may have had a hand in choosing Milton's replacement college tutor Nathaniel Tovey.
