Thomas Dove
Thomas Dove (1555 – 30 August 1630) was Bishop of Peterborough from 1601 to 1630.
Dove was born in London, England, and educated at Merchant Taylors' School from 1564 to 1571.[1] He was named as one of the first scholars of Jesus College, Oxford in its foundation charter in 1571, but never attended.[2] Instead, he became a scholar at Pembroke College, Cambridge, obtaining his BA in 1575 and his MA in 1578.[3] He was a Pembroke contemporary of Lancelot Andrewes, who had also been educated at Merchant Taylors' School and named as a founding scholar of Jesus College, Oxford. Dove was ordained in 1578 and became vicar of Saffron Walden, Essex in 1580. Dove was a noted preacher, impressing Queen Elizabeth who remarked that she "thought the Holy Ghost was descended again in this Dove".[1]
In 1589, Dove became Dean of Norwich Cathedral and in 1601 he was consecrated Bishop of Peterborough, where he remained until his death in 1630.[1]
