• Méric Casaubon -- canon and Anglo-Saxon scholar
• Pierre Du Moulin -- Calvinist minister; canon of Canterbury
• Edward Meetkerke --
  Edward Meetkirke (or Meetkerke) (1590–1657) was educated at King's School, Canterbury (King's Scholar, 1603-1604 [CCA DCc Treasurer's Book]), and then at Westminster School, where he was taught Hebrew by Adrian Saravia (ODNB). He was Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford from 1621 to 1626 (ODNB) and occupied Stall VI at Winchester Cathedral from 1631. The Benefactors' Book at Canterbury Cathedral records a gift to the Library. He died in 1657 (Le Neve, Fasti, III, iii, 98).

I have prepared a new page for the college of Six Preachers of Canterbury Cathedral and for some of the individual names.

• John Cooke (Six Preacher) [done]
• John Durant (Six Preacher) and Independent pastor.

List of medieval palaces added to and annotated.

The source for my (possibly arguable) belief that Peter de Blois was archdeacon of Canterbury came fro the source http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=34351

Let me know what you think. I will defer to your greater knowledge of the subject.
