Thomas Fuller (1608 - 16 August 1661) was a churchman and historian, now remembered for his writings, particularly these monumental two volumes, published after his death. He was a prolific author, and one of the first English writers able to live by his pen (and his many patrons). In about 1640 he married Eleanor, daughter of Hugh Grove of Chisenbury, Wiltshire. She died in 1641. Their son, John, baptised at Broadwindsor by his father on 6 June 1641, was afterwards of Sidney Sussex College, edited the Worthies of England, 1662, and became rector of Great Wakering, Essex, where he died in 1687. About 1652 Fuller married his second wife, Mary Roper, youngest sister of Thomas Roper, 1st Viscount Baltinglass, by whom he had several children.
