Happy to explain abbreviations for you if need be.

You might find it worthwhile contacting the College: see https://www.joh.cam.ac.uk/library as a starting point. As Master of the College you'll find a good deal about him if you can locate a printed history of the college. [In Cambridge the Master is the head of the College - with a few exceptions, such as in my College!]

THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH

Hi. I am in the U.S. and recently traced my family tree. I was just curious about my ancestor, Reverend William Whitaker.
He is reportedly buried at Trinity College in Cambridge. Are there any pictures of his grave?
Are there descendants of him still in England? A family home perhaps? I'd love to see whatever is out there. Thanks!
