Thomas Browne (1766–1832) was a priest and academic in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.[1]
Browne was born in Poulton-le-Fylde. He was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, graduating BA in 1786; MA in 1789; and BD in 1796. He became Fellow in 1791; and was Master from 1808 to 1814.[2] He held livings at Little Snoring, Seaton Ross, Bere Ferrers, Bourn, and Gorleston.
Browne married Lucy, a daughter of John Astley, and as a result was presented to the benefice of Gorleston in Norfolk.[3]
