Dr Edmund Staunton 1600-1671

Harding also mentions Edmund Staunton, DD (1600-1671). He began his career in Bushey and for some years preached in West Hertfordshire. Later, as President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, he suffered ejectment under the Act of Uniformity and withdrew to Rickmansworth. Later he removed to St Albans where he continued to preach “by Stealth, and in face of the penal laws against him.” Dr Staunton was a member of the Westminster Assembly. He died on 15th July 1671 and was buried two days later in the yard of the parish Church at Bovingdon.
