Thomas Wilcox

Thomas Wilcox

Thomas Wilcox (c.1549 - 1608) was a British Puritan clergyman and controversialist. In 1571, with John Field he authored the "Admonition to the Parliament", that called for the removal of Bishops and ecclesiastical hierarchy. Wilcox and Field were imprisoned for one year for this. He was one of the most powerful of Elizabethan Puritans, with many ‘friends in high places’ such as Francis Walsingham, allowing him considerable influence in England.
