(b ?Cambridge/York, 1612-13; d ?Cambridge, c 1706). English writer and composer. He was appointed a singing-man at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1635, and probably spent most of his life there. He is remembered for his Musick's Monument (1676), an important source of information about English musical life and practices in the mid-17th century, including discussion of church music, the use of instruments, acoustics, tempo and notation. The book includes eight lute suites; he also wrote 15 pieces for viol.
