William Elstob went to which school from 1687 to 1690?
William Elstob William Elstob ( 1673–1715 ) , was an English divine . Life . Elstob was the son of Ralph Elstob , merchant of Newcastle-upon-Tyne , and was baptised at All Saints Church , Newcastle , on 1 January 1673 . The Elstob family claimed descent from ancient Welsh kings , and had long been settled in the diocese of Durham . Elstob was educated in Newcastle and at Eton . At the age of sixteen - on the advice of his uncle and guardian , Charles Elstob , D.D. , prebendary of Canterbury from 1685 to 1721 - he was sent to Catharine Hall , Cambridge , in a station below his birth and fortune . His health also suffered when at Catherine Hall , and so he left for Queens College , Oxford , where he entered as a commoner and graduated B.A . in 1694 . He was elected fellow of University College , Oxford on 23 July 1696 , and took his M.A . degree on 8 June 1697 . Hearne says that having failed of election to All Souls as a south country man , he became a northern man , and was elected one of Skirlaws fellows at University College . In 1702 he was presented by the dean and chapter of Canterbury , presumably through his uncles influence , to the united parishes of St . Swithin and St . Mary Bothaw , London . Here he died , after a lingering illness , on 3 March 1714–15 , and was buried in the chancel of St . Swithins . He was chaplain to Bishop Nicolson of Carlisle , who in February 1713 applied for Chief Justice Parkers influence for his appointment to the preachership at Lincolns inn . Elstob was a linguist and antiquary , and especially skilled in Anglo-Saxon . He was a friend , probably a nephew , of the learned nonjuror , George Hickes , of Humphrey Wanley , Sir Andrew Fountaine , John Strype , and other men of learning . In 1701 he contributed a Latin translation of the homily of Lupus to the Dissertatio Epistolaris . Hickes wrote a preface to Elstobs Essay on the great Affinity and Mutual Agreement of the two professions of Divinity and Law , .. . in vindication of the Clergys concerning themselves in political matters . It is a defence of high-church principles . Sir Andrew Fountaine acknowledges Elstobs help in giving descriptions of Saxon coins for the tables published by him in Hickess Thesaurus . Elstob communicated to John Strype a copy of Sir John Chekes Discourse upon Plutarchs Treatise on Superstition . This had been preserved in manuscript in the library of University College , and mutilated by Obadiah Walker . Elstobs version is appended to Strypes Life of Cheke . In 1703 Elstob published a new edition ( much enlarged ) of Roger Aschams Letters . In 1709 he contributed a Latin version of the Saxon homily on the nativity of St . Gregory to the edition of the original prepared by his younger sister Elizabeth Elstob . An Anglo-Saxon book of hours , with a translation by him , is appended to Letters between Hickes and a Roman Catholic priest . He made collections for a history of Newcastle and of proper names formerly used in northern countries . He also made proposals for what was to be his great work , a new edition of the Saxon laws already published by Lombarde ( 1568 ) and Abraham Wheelocke ( 1644 ) , with many additions , comments , prefaces , and glossaries . This design was stopped by his death , and afterwards executed bv David Wilkins , Leges Anglo-Saxoniæ , etc . ( 1721 ) , who mentions Elstobs plan in his preface . Hickes also speaks of this plan in the dedication of his two volumes of posthumous sermons ( 1726 ) . Elstob prepared a version of Ælfreds Orosius , which finally came into the hands of Daines Barrington . He printed a specimen of this at Oxford in 1699 . He also published two separate sermons in 1704 on the battle of Blenheim and the anniversary of the queens accession . In Thomas Hearnes Collection of Curious Discourses by Eminent Antiquaries is a mock-heroic poem by Elstob upon the butler of University College .
