Remarks

Vicar of St John’s in Chester; following the dissolution of the college the vicar and curate were jointly paid £21 6s 8d a year. Brednam came from Norfolk, attended St John’s College Cambridge, BA 1565-6; MA 1570; fellow 1566. Venn says that he was ordained in Chester on March 16th 1602/3 but this seems unlikely as he was vicar of St John’s by 1591. CCEd person ID 23119, states that he was ordained at Chester on March 16th 1573. Then schoolmaster at Farndon in 1578; rector of Handley in Cheshire 1591-1592; vicar of Aysgarth in Yorkshire 1573 to 1617. Venn says that he was also rector of Outwell in Norfolk from 1597 to 1618, when he died. His surname is also given as Lacy. Source: J A Venn, Alumni Cantabrigienses, part I, volumes I and II, 1922.
