William Fenner
Edit ProfileCareer
In the following year. He also took holy orders, and is believed to have been for a time chaplain to the Earl of Warwick, and to have ministered at Sedgley, Staffordshire, where "his labours were greatly blessed". He was forced to leave this cure on account of his religious principles about 1626-1627, and travelled about for some months, preaching from place to place, and Benjamin Brook states that he was consulted as a casuist, and admired by some of the nobility.
In 1627 he proceeded Bachelor of Divinity, and two years later was presented to the living of Rochford, Essex, where he was until his death in 1640.
Fenner was appreciated as a preacher, one of his sermons being quoted by Edward Williams, and his writings enjoyed popularity for some time, as plain in manner while zealous in tone.
