Joseph Beaumont (1616-1699), Master of Peterhouse and Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge. Beaumont was born in Hadleigh, Suffolk and started his education at the local grammar school, eventually graduating with a BA from Peterhouse, Cambridge in 1635. A staunchly religious man, Beaumont was ejected from his fellowship position at Peterhouse for promoting Laudianism within the college, along with Matthew Wren (bishop of Ely) and John Cosin. He published a mystical epic, 'Psyche, or, Love's Mystery' in 1648, as well as a compilation of English poems entitled 'Minor Poems' (1644-52). Beaumont became Master of Peterhouse in 1663, where he promoted high-churchmanship and strict discipline. He died from gout in November 1699.
Volumes of examination questions of acts held in the schools at Cambridge.
