Thomas Dudley Fosbroke

Thomas Dudley Fosbroke (May 27, 1770 - January 1, 1842), English antiquary, was born in London.

He was educated at St Paul's School and Pembroke College, Oxford, graduating MA in 1792. In that year he was ordained and became curate of Horsley, Gloucestershire, where he remained till 1810. He then removed to Walford in Herefordshire, and remained there the rest of his life, as curate till 1830, and afterwards as vicar.

His first important work, "British Monachism" (2 vols, 1802), was a compilation, from manuscripts in the British Museum and Bodleian libraries, of facts relating to English monastic life.

In 1799 Fosbroke had been elected fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. The work for which he is best remembered, the "Encyclopaedia of Antiquities", appeared in 1824. A sequel to this, "Foreign Topography", was published in 1828. Fosbroke published many other volumes, including a detailed examination of the customs observed by English Monks and Nuns "British Monachism."----
