William Greenhill

William Greenhill (1591–1671) was an English nonconformist clergyman, independent minister, and member of the Westminster Assembly.

From 1615 to 1633 William Greenhill held the Magdalen College living of New Shoreham, Sussex.

He appears to have officiated in some ministerial capacity in the diocese of Norwich, when Matthew Wren was bishop; he got into trouble for refusing to read The Book of Sports.

He then moved to London, and was chosen afternoon preacher to the congregation at Stepney, while Jeremiah Burroughes ministered in the morning.

In 1649, after the death of Charles, he was appointed by the parliament chaplain to three of the late king Charles's children: James, Duke of York (afterwards James II); Henry, Duke of Gloucester; and the Lady Henrietta Anne.
