He was Vicar of Chipping Campden from 1636-1661

He died 11 October 1660

William’s memorial, like Henry’s above, no longer exists, but was transcribed from the Latin as follows:-

Read O Spectator, and mourn.  For under this stone a man of the highest genius and piety has passed into dust.  William Bartholomew, MA from Trinity College, Cambridge, the first of his years and fortunately appointed chaplain to Edward Viscount Campden, a renowned hero from the sacred office to whom in the mansion of Brook he was soon instituted into the vicarage of this church.  For twenty-four years he attended to the care of souls with the love and praise and admiration of all.  An eminent orator, a hammer of the sect of the religion of the orthodox English Church, a fearless advocate (even in the worst of times) of the Royalist party.  He dying, wished his mortal remains to be laid in the same tomb in which his daughter Susan had formerly been placed.  She died 3 Sept. Anno Dom 1642 aged 3.  He died 11 Oct. Anno Dom., 1660 aged 56.  To the holy the world is exile, his home is Heaven: Who dies for Christ does Not perish, he returns.

His known children were

Susan BARTHOLOMEW born circa 1639

Mary BARTHOLOMEW baptised 23 May 1641
