A bit about Aldrich, Henry ...

Henry Aldrich (1647-1710) was an English theologian and philosopher. He was at Westminster, and was educated at the collegiate school there, under Dr Busby. In 1662 he entered Christ Church College, Oxford, and in 1689 was made dean in succession to the Roman Catholic, John Massey, who had fled to the continent. In 1692 he was vice-chancellor of the University. In 1702 he was appointed rector of Wem in Shropshire, but continued to reside at Oxford, where he died on December 14 1710. He was buried in the cathedral without any memorial at his own desire.
