The Reverend William Lubbock MA BD (Cantab) (baptized North Walsham, Norfolk, 17 January 1701, died North Walsham 20 April 1754) was an English divine, Fellow of Caius College, Cambridge, and Church of England clergyman. He founded the famous English family of Lubbock (see below).

Education

The son of John Lubbock (1669 - 1731), a clothier of North Walsham, Norfolk and of his wife Elizabeth Webster,[1] Lubbock was educated at Gresham's School, Holt from 1712 and later at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.[2]

Lubbock graduated as a BA in 1721 and as an MA in 1724, and as a Bachelor of Divinity in 1732.[3] He remained at Caius as a tutor in Classics and Divinity and was a Fellow of the college between 1724 and 1733.

From 1732 to 1738, Lubbock was Rector of Bincombe and of Broadwey, both in Dorset.[4] Resigning these livings, he purchased the Rectory of Lammas on 22 December 1738, and gained also the Vicarage of Stalham in 1739 and the Rectory of Scottow on 1 October 1741. He held all three livings until his death in 1754.
