Ambrose Bonwicke, the father of the

subject of this Memoir, was a nonjuring clergyman of great piety and learning, son of the Rev. John Bonwicke, Rector of Mickleham in Surrey. He was born April 29, 1652, and educated at Merchant Taylor's School. Thence he was elected to St. John's College, Oxford, in 1668, where he was appointed Librarian in 1670, and was elected Master of Merchant Taylor's School 1686. In 1689, the College petitioned the Merchant Taylor's Company that he might continue Master for life; but in 1691, he was turned out for refusing to take the oath of allegiance.
