William Cooke (priest, born 1821)

He actually matriculated in the Michaelmas term of 1839, was elected a Scholar in 1840, and graduated BA in 1843, proceeding to MA in 1848.

His next appointment was as curate of Brantham, Suffolk, from 1846 to 1848, and then for two years he was priest-in-charge of St John's Church, Charlotte Street, near Fitzroy Square, Westminster.

In 1850 he moved on to become priest in charge of St Stephen's Church, Shepherd's Bush, and the same year was a Select Preacher at Cambridge.

[2] Typical of such work is his "Wake, awake, for night is flying" (1871), a translation of the hymn "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" by Philipp Nicolai, first published in 1599.

[6] With Christopher Wordsworth, Bishop of Lincoln, Cooke edited for the Henry Bradshaw Society the early 15th century Ordinale Sarum of Clement Maydeston, but the work did not appear in print until 1901, several years after the death of both editors.
