William Dodwell (1709–1785) was an English cleric known as a theological writer, archdeacon of Berkshire from 1763. ==Life== He was born at Shottesbrooke, Berkshire, on 17 June 1709, was the second son and fifth child of Henry Dodwell the elder, the nonjuror. He was educated at Trinity College, Oxford, where he took his degree of M.A. in 1732. Dodwell became rector of Shottesbrooke, and vicar of White Waltham and Bucklesbury. Thomas Sherlock as bishop of Salisbury gave him a prebendal stall in Salisbury Cathedral in 1748; and he later obtained a residentiary canonry there. Subsequently another bishop of Salisbury, John Thomas, made him archdeacon of Berkshire, in 1763. On 23 February 1750 the university of Oxford conferred on Dodwell the degree of D.D. by diploma, in recognition of his services to religion by his replies to Conyers Middleton (see Middletonian Controversy). Dodwell died on 23 October 1785. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Dodwell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
