About Henry Sacheverell, D.D.

Henry Sacheverell (1674 – 15 June 1724) was an English High Church clergyman and politician.

The son of Joshua Sacheverell, rector of St Peter's, Marlborough, he was adopted by his godfather, Edward Hearst, and his wife, and was sent to Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1689. He was a student there until 1701 and a fellow from 1701 to 1713. Sacheverell took his degree of B.A. in 1693, and became M.A. in 1695 and D.D. in 1708. His first preferment was the small vicarage of Cannock in Staffordshire; but he came to fame when preacher at St Saviour's, Southwark.

Henry Sacheverell died at the Grove, Highgate, on 15 June 1724. The house was later occupied by the poet Coleridge and is now owned by Kate Moss.
