John Frewen (divine)
John Frewen (1558–1628) was an English Puritan divine.
==Life==
Frewen was descended from an old Worcestershire family. He is stated to have been baptised on 1 July 1560. His grandfather, Roger Frewen, and his father, Richard Frewen, were both possessed of property in Hill Croome and Earls Croome in Worcestershire. He was ordained priest by Bullingham, bishop of Gloucester, 24 June 1582, and in November of the following year was presented by his father to the rectory of Northiam, Sussex. On his becoming resident at Northiam it is supposed that Frewen occupied a house known as ‘Carriers,’ situated about two hundred yards south of the present rectory-house, and then the property of his friend and neighbour, John White of Brickwall. In 1593 Frewen bought the Church House at Northiam, where he and his descendants continued to reside until their purchase of Brickwall; Church House remained in the family.
Frewen's uncompromising puritanism brought him at length into collision with some of his chief parishioners. At the Lewes summer assizes in 1611 they preferred a bill of indictment against him for nonconformity, but the grand jury ignored the bill. Frewen's persecutors still continued to annoy him, and he appealed to the ecclesiastical court at Lewes, 30 July 1622, when it was deposed that one Robert Cresswell of Northiam, ‘gentleman,’ had on 26 June 1621, on the open highway, insulted the rector, ‘calling him old Fole, old Asse, old Coxscombe.’ Cresswell was, after due citation, excommunicated.
On 1 June 1627, ‘being aged and weake in bodie,’ he made his will. He died towards the end of April 1628, and was buried in the chancel of his own church on the following 2 May.
