WILLIAM PLOWMAN, 1667, was another O.S. and
affords an illustration of the difficulties that could arise over a master's
teaching licence. In 1670 he had been furnished with the official certificate of
approval for transmission to the ordinary. This was based on the Statutes of
1592, and Plowman claimed that by swearing before the school Warden never to
teach Papistry "he is become Perfect and Compleat Usher to all intents and
purposes. And he did repaire to the Citty of New Sarum" with his headmaster
to suscribe to the Act of Uniformity, only to find himself fobbed off on the day
by the Dean's deputy who accepted the master, but rejected the usher. Evidently
there were two sides to the case and in 1672 Plowman was forced to appeal to the
Governors, reporting "that the Deane has lately again cited him (as several
times within the Compasse of 12 months past) to appear at his Court at Sarum to
show cause why he should not be excommunicated (amongst other things) for
refusing to take a licence to teach as Usher here."
This Dean of Salisbury was Ralph Brideoake, in his time
headmaster and feoffe of Manchester Grammar School and therefore presumably well
versed in academic procedure and quite aware of what he was doing. None the less
the Sherborne Governors supported Plowman, took the matter successfully to court
and paid the costs. In spite of this, three years later they were not prepared
to waive in his case the prohibition on clerical duty and Plowman had to resign
in consequence. But this did not stop him in after years from sending his own
son to the school.
Extract from " The Rectors of Long Bredy in Dorset
1500-1815" by Canon F E Trotman.
W, Plowman was the son of Thomas Plowman of Sherborne, educated
at the famous school, and Usher or Lower Master there 1667-75. He was 17 when he
matriculated at Wadham College, Oxford, in 1664: resigned his post at the School
in 1674 to become Vicar of Abbotsbury; passed on to Winterborne Steepleton in
1694 and Came in 1686; and became Rector of Long Bredy in 1701. A son, William
also of Wadham College, was born when his father was at Steepleton and a
daughter, Catherine was buried at Long Bredy in 1701. Elizabeth Plowman of
Rimpton, buried(?) at Rimpton, buried at Long Bredy in 1720 was Probably his
widow. The Rector's own monument is in the Chancel.

died: 1 March 1842, Dorchester. His will is recorded at the National Archives ref: 25 April 1842 PROB 11/1961A rough transcription of his will
He was Surgeon R.N. and served in many ships of war during the early part
of the nineteenth century:
The
ORION 1802. The National Archives holds the will of one Henry Plowman,
a Surgeon's First Mate, dated 15 January 1802.
The
THUNDER from 20th January 1804 to 4th September 1805.
The Naval Chronicle Volume 19 (Jan-Jun 1808) notes the appointment of Henry Plowman to the LION and then the BARFLEUR.
The
BARFLEUR from 7th March 1808 to 15th May 1809 and was present at the
evacuation at Corunna in 1809. The Surgeon's logs for 1808 and 1809 are held at the National Archives ref: ADM 101/89/2/. It appears that Henry was one of the surgeons who removed the arm of General Sir David Baird.
The Naval Chronicle Volume 24 (Jul-Dec 1810) notes the appointment of Henry Plowman to the ST ALBAN'S
The
BARFLEUR from Oct. 1811 to Oct. 1812, Captain Sir Thomas Masterman
Hardy in command.
The
RAMILLIES from 9th October 1812 to 25th August 1815. Captain
Sir T M Hardy Bart. was
appointed to the RAMILLIES in August 1812 until June 1815. (Henry seems to have been on good terms with Hardy judging
by Hardy's letters.
The 1828 Navy List has Henry as a supernumerary surgeon attached to HMS HYPERION at Newhaven with effect from 15th December 1827.
The
RAMILLIES was the last ship in which Henry Plowman served as surgeon
before he married. He lived at 9 Portman Street, Portman Square,
London until 1826. There after he spent one or two years on the
Sussex coast, where he was employed as Surgeon RN, visiting such
places as Littlehampton, Bognor, Goring, Worthing etc.. This began
about February 1827 and ended about 19 Sept. 1828, from that date he
retired on half pay for life. About Michaelmas in the same year 1828
he and his wife went to Charminster , Dorset, and there they resided
until the first week in April 1831, when they began residence in
South Street, Dorchester.
He is listed in the 1831 Dorset Poll book along with Joseph Slade and the Rev H John Williams who were married to Frances' sisters. They all had interest in the same property in Cattistock
occupied by a John Harris. (The 1841 Census for Cattistock has two John Harris, father and son aged 75 & 35, with both listed a "Yeoman".
Henry also appears in the Register of Voters of
Dorset 1838-9 as voter number 5498, qualifying by the "Lease of
Land for Years" with a Robert Phelps listed as tenant. Henry
Plowman was buried on 7th March 1842 in a new family vault in St.
Peter's Church, where there is
also a small
mural tablet to the memory of
both he and his wife. His widow moved to Kempston, Beds., to live
with her sister, Margaret Sophia, and her husband, Rev
John Hamilton Williams, the
Vicar of Kempston. The 1851 Census for Kempston lists Frances Plowman
as a "Gentlewoman".
