Dr W. Sherlock, a Remarkable Figure in English Church History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Dr W. Sherlock, an influential church leader from the 17th century. The image showcases his dignified presence and clerical clothing, including the distinctive dog collar that symbolizes his religious authority. Born around 1641, William Sherlock received a comprehensive education at prestigious institutions such as St Saviours Grammar School, Eton College, and Cambridge University's Peterhouse College. However, his career faced a significant turning point when he refused to swear oaths to King William III and Queen Mary II. This act of defiance led to his suspension but eventually transformed him into Dean of St Pauls Cathedral in 1691. The engraving is taken from Alfred Howard's renowned work "Biographical Illustrations" published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , and J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin respectively. It offers us a glimpse into both the historical context surrounding Dr W. Sherlock's life as well as the artistic style prevalent during the 19th century. This image serves as a testament to Dr W. Sherlock's enduring legacy within British Christianity—a man who navigated through turbulent times with unwavering conviction and ultimately rose to prominence within ecclesiastical circles despite initial setbacks. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are reminded of the resilience and determination exhibited by those who have shaped our religious landscape throughout history.
