Prebendary of Westminster 1631-1662
Heylyn was born in Burford, Oxfordshire, the son of Henry Heylyn and Elizabeth Clampard. He entered Merchant Taylors' School in March 1612.[2] At 14 he was sent to Hart Hall, Oxford, and matriculated from Magdalen College, Oxford, on 19 January 1616, aged 15. He was awarded BA on 17 October 1617 and was elected a fellow in 1618.[3] He lectured on historical geography at Magdalen.
Heylyn was awarded MA on 1 July 1620.[3] In 1620 he presented his lecture to Prince Charles, at Theobalds. He was incorporated at Cambridge University in 1621. In 1621 his lectures were published as Microcosmos: a Little Description of the Great World. This would prove to be his most popular work and by 1639, eight editions had been produced.[4]
At college, where he was dubbed 'the perpetual dictator', Heylin had been an ouspoken controversialist.[4] He subsequently became an outspoken preacher and one of Charles I's clerical followers. He was awarded BD on 13 June 1629. In 1630 he lectured against the Feoffees for Impropriations.[5] He became licenced canon of Westminster in 1631 and rector of Hemingford, Huntingdonshire, in the same year. He became rector of Houghton-le-Spring, county Durham, in 1632 and rector of Alresford, Hampshire, in 1633. Also in 1633 he was licenced to preach and was awarded D.D. on 13 April 1633. He became a chaplain to Charles I. In 1639 he became rector South Warnborough, Hampshire.[3]
He suffered for his loyalty to the king when, under the Commonwealth, he was deprived of his preferments. He subsequently settled at Lacies Court in Abingdon, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire).
At the Restoration, he was made sub-Dean of Westminster, but poor health prevented further advancement.
He married Letitia Highgate and had a large family. His monument is in Westminster Abbey
