He was also Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University from 1689 to 1691, the first Principal of the college to do so.cite journal| journal=The Jesus College Record| title=And Finally...| date=2004| last=North |first=Sir Peter |authorlink=Peter North (academic)| pages=13] He was rector of Kiddington, Hinton Ampner and Llandysul and vicar of Clynnog Fawr.
