Richard Baylie

Dr Richard Baylie (1585-1667) was President of St. John's College, Oxford, Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University and Dean of Salisbury.

He was President of St John's College, Oxford from 1633 to 1648 and 1660 to 1667 and built the Baylie Chapel there in 1662. In 1635, he became Dean of Salisbury and tightened discipline there, but spent most of his time in Oxford. However, it is said that, when in Salisbury, he was - 'like a cardinal' - lavishly hospitable.cite web | last = Pugh | first = RB | title = The cathedral of Salisbury: From the Reformation to the Restoration | work = A History of the County of Wiltshire: Volume 3 | date = 1956 | url = http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=40265 | accessdate = 2006-09-30] He married Elizabeth, the daughter of William Robinson, the Archdeacon of Nottinghamshire, who was half-brother of the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud.
