William Overton

sometimes fellow of Magdalen coll. was consecrated B. of Lichfield and Coventry in the beginning of the year 1579. (where he shewed himself sufficiently severe to suppress such, whom he suspected of Nonconformity) and died in sixteen hundred and nine, under which year you may see more of him 1609 among the writers. He was succeeded in the said See by George Abbot, of whom I have spoken at large among the said writers.
