Dawes, Lancelot
, a learned English divine, was
born in 1530, at Barton-Kirk in Westmoreland, and became a student in Queen’s college, Oxford, in 1597, and
when B. A. was made tabarder, and in 1605, master of
arts and fellow. At college he was of a retired studious
disposition, and accounted an ornament to the society.
Having taken orders, he was beneficed at Barton-kirk, and
afterwards presented to a prebend of Carlisle. About the
same time he received the degree of D. D. from the university of St. Andrew’s, and was promoted to the rectory of
Ashby in Westmoreland. He was much esteemed for
learning, and talents in preaching, of which he published
a specimen in “Sermons preached upon several occasions,” London, 1653. He died in the month of February
in the same year, and was buried in the chancel of Bartonkirk. His character was honoured by verses in Greek,
| Latin, and English, by Tully, Williamson, and Ellis, three
scholars of Queen’s. 1
