Edward Scarisbrick in the ODNB.
​NEVILLE verè Scarisbrick, EDWARD (1639–1709), jesuit, born in Lancashire in 1639, was son of Edward Scarisbrick, esq., of Scarisbrick Hall in that county, by Frances, daughter of Roger Bradshaigh of Haig Hall. He prosecuted his humanity studies in the English Jesuit College at St. Omer; entered that order 7 Sept. 1660 at Watten, under the assumed name of Neville, ​and was professed of the four vows 2 Feb. 1676–7. In 1675 he was prefect of St. Omer. Afterwards he was sent to the English mission in the Lancashire district, and his name appears in the list of Titus Oates's intended victims. In 1686 he was in the London district, and was appointed by James II to be one of the royal preachers and chaplains. On the outbreak of the revolution in December 1688 he escaped to the Continent, and he is mentioned in 1689 as living in France with several other English priests. In 1692 he was instructor of the tertian fathers of the Society of Jesus at Ghent, and in 1693 he was again in the Lancashire district, where he died on 19 Feb. 1708–9.
His works are: 1. ‘Sermon on Spiritual Leprosy, delivered on the 13th Sunday after Pentecost, 1686, before Queen Catherine,’ London, 1687, 4to; reprinted in ‘A Select Collection of Catholick Sermons,’ London, 1741, ii. 427. 2. ‘Sermon on Catholic Loyalty, preached before the King and Queen at Whitehall, the 30th of January 1687,’ London, 1688, 8vo; reprinted in the same collection, i. 223. 3. ‘The Life of Lady Warner, of Parham in Suffolk, in Religion called Sister Clare of Jesus; written by a Catholic Gentleman (N. N.),’ London, 1691, 8vo; second edition, ‘to which is added an abridgment of the Life of Mrs. E. Warner, in religion Mary Clare,’ London, 1692, 8vo; third edition, London, 1696, 8vo; fourth edition, London, 1858, 8vo. 4. ‘Rules and Instructions for the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception’ (anon.), 1703, 12mo.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Neville, Edmund (1605-1647)

Edmund Sale in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
​NEVILLE, EDMUND (1605–1647), jesuit, was born in his father's house at Hopcar, Lancashire, in 1605, and, after studying at St. Omer, entered the English College at Rome on 29 Sept. 1621, under the name of Sales. He was admitted to the novitiate of the Society of Jesus at St. Andrews, Rome, in 1626. In 1636 he was minister at Ghent, and three years later he was ordered to the English mission, ‘where he rendered important services to religion by his talents, zeal, and most engaging and conciliatory manners’ (Oliver, Collectanea S. J. p. 148). In 1639 he was a missioner in London; on 3 Aug. 1640 he was professed of the four vows; in 1642 he was in the Oxford district; and in 1645 he was stationed in the ‘college of St. Francis Xavier,’ which comprised South Wales, Monmouthshire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire. In the time of the Commonwealth he suffered imprisonment on account of his sacerdotal character; but, as no proof could be adduced to show that he was really a priest, he was set at liberty. He died on 18 July 1647.
He wrote ‘The Palm of Christian Fortitude, or the Glorious Combats of the Christians in Japan’ [St. Omer?], 1630, 8vo, and ‘The Life of St. Augustine, Doctor of the Church,’ which was not published, and is said to be extant in manuscript.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Neville, Alan de

Date of death c.1176 in the ODNB.
​NEVILLE, ALAN de (d. 1191?), judge, son of Ærnisius de Neville, was probably descended from Gilbert de Neville, who commanded William the Conqueror's fleet [see under Neville, Hugh de. Alan's brother, also Gilbert de Neville, was an ancestor of the Nevilles of Raby [see under Neville, Robert de (d. 1282)]. He is first mentioned in 1165 as a judge of the exchequer, and may have been also a ‘Marescallus Regis.’ In the following year he was appointed justice of the forests, and continued till his death to be chief justice of forests throughout England (Roger de Hoveden, Rolls Ser. ii. 289). He held various lands in Lincolnshire (cf. Pipe Rolls, ed. 1844, pp. 25, 116, 137), and was granted the Savernake Forest in Wiltshire by Henry II (Madox, Exch. ed. 1769, ii. 220). He supported the king loyally against Becket (see Materials for Life of Becket, Rolls Ser. v. 73), and for this was excommunicated by the archbishop in 1166, afterwards receiving absolution from Gilbert Foliot, bishop of London, conditionally on his going to Rome on his way to Jerusalem and submitting there to the pope. In 1168 Becket excommunicated him again for committing his chaplain to prison. As late as 1189 he was holding pleas of the forest (Pipe Rolls, ed. 1844, 1 Ric. I). He died in 2 Richard I (3 Sept. 1190–2 Sept. 1191), leaving two sons, Alan, a justice itinerant in 1170, and Geoffrey de Neville, d. 1225 [q. v.]

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Wendy, Thomas

​WENDY, THOMAS (1500?–1560), court physician, born between May 1499 and May 1500, was the second son of Thomas Wendy of Clare, Suffolk (Addit. MS. 19154, f. 342). He was educated at Cambridge, graduating B.A. in 1518–19 and on Lady day following was elected fellow of Gonville Hall (afterwards Gonville and Caius College). He proceeded M.A. in 1522, and then went abroad to study medicine; he graduated M.D. at Ferrara, and was incorporated in this degree at Cambridge in 1527 (Venn, Biogr. Hist. of Gonville and Caius Coll. p. 24). He was subsequently appointed physician to Henry VIII, who on 12 June 1541 granted to him and his wife the manor of Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire (Letters and Papers of Henry VIII, xvi. 947). Wendy plays some part in Foxe's story of Gardiner's alleged intrigue against Catherine Parr for heresy (Maitland, Essays, 1849, pp. 319–21). He attended Henry VIII on his deathbed, was one of the witnesses to his will, and was bequeathed 100l. by the king. He was continued as royal physician with a salary of 100l. by Edward VI, who made him further grants of land (Acts P. C. ii. 432; Lit. Remains of Edward VI, p. cxcvii). On 12 Nov. 1548 he was appointed one of the ecclesiastical visitors of Oxford, Cambridge, and Eton, and on 6 May 1552 was again commissioned to visit Eton (cf. Dixon, iii. 120). He was admitted fellow of the College of Physicians on 22 Dec. 1551, and became an elect in 1552. He attended Edward VI on his deathbed, and was continued as royal physician by Mary, to whom he performed a like service. On 26 March 1554 he was returned to parliament for St. Albans, and for Cambridgeshire on 10 Oct. 1555. He was appointed an ecclesiastical visitor by Elizabeth in 1559, and died at Haslingfield on 11 May 1560 in the sixty-first year of his age; he was buried at Haslingfield on the 27th. He was a friend of Dr. John Caius (1510–1573) [q. v.], who dedicated to him in 1557 the first of his ‘Galeni Pergameni libri;’ he gave many medical and classical books to the library of Gonville and Caius College, founded a fellowship there, and is commemorated in the college by a service held on 11 May.
Wendy left no issue by his wife Margery, and was succeeded by his nephew Thomas, son of his elder brother John. Thomas was sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire in 1573–4, 1585–6, and 1602–3 (Lists of Sheriffs, 1898, p. 14); in 1586–7 he was in trouble with the privy council for refusing the oath (Heywood and Wright, Cambr. Trans. ii. 420–9); he added his lands at Barrington, Cambridgeshire, to his uncle's endowment of Gonville and Caius College. His descendants are given in Le Neve's ‘Pedigrees of Knights’ (Harl. Soc. p. 17).
