Bingham

Bingham, Joseph, born at Wakefield, Yorkshire, in 1668. He became a fellow and tutor of University College, Oxford, but was driven from his post by a charge of heresy unfairly urged against him for a sermon preached in St. Mary's. Dr. Radcliffe gave him a living in Hampshire, where he spent his life in the composition of his learned work Origines Ecclesiasticae. He lost his all in the South Sea scheme, and died in 1723.
