Anthony Sparrow

Anthony Sparrow (May 1612 – 19 May 1685) was prominent as both a theologian and academic at the University of Cambridge and as a cleric in the Church of England. He was President of Queens' College, Cambridge, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge and Bishop of both Exeter and Norwich. He is known for his resistance to the imposition of Presbyterianism by Oliver Cromwell, his involvement in the conflict between Simon Patrick and King Charles II regarding academic freedom and the right of colleges to elect their heads, and for his theological treatises, in particular ''A Rationale upon the Book of Common Prayer''.
