William, was admitted priest and gentleman of the Chapel Royal and minor canon and precentor of Westminster Abbey in 1660. He composed some excellent church music, some of which is still extant. An anthem, 'O give thanks,' is printed in Page's 'Harmonia Sacra,' and is also included (with another) in the Tudway Collection (Harl. MS. 7339).
