King's College, Cambridge

Mm-hmm.

I met Sean years ago at King's College, Cambridge, and they were discussing, it was my interest in proprioception.

I was banged up for a week with philosophers and the odd psychiatrist and me as a neuroscientist, very young neuroscientist.

And they were debating something or other.

Like Simeon, and along with him, Pawson was on the foundation of Eton, and he took his bachelor's degree from Trinity College in 1782.

Simeon outlasted the great Greek scholar seven and twenty years, surviving from a Cambridge which

The second, John, was fellow of all souls, a master in chancery, one of the managers of the private property of George III, and member for Reading and was created a baronet in 1815.

He was the greatest medieval manuscript scholar of his time.

He worked at King's College, Cambridge.

He was, in fact, he became the provost of King's College, Cambridge University.

And in his research into things like medieval manuscripts and medieval culture and ancient religion and the church fathers, he encountered the supernatural, the devil, demons and spirits on a daily basis.

They were part of the material stuff of his research.

As a boy of nine, he was sent to Eton and was elected there on the foundation.

At nineteen, he went up with a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge, and succeeded in due course to a fellowship, which he held till his death.

He was ordained deacon in 1782 and priest in 1783.

In 1782, he was made minister or perpetual curate of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Cambridge, a benefice which was originally a vicarage of the Abbey of Dereham, and of which, after the suppression of the Abbey and until the year 1867, the bishop appointed the minister.

In that pastorate, he lived and laboured for just fifty-four years, through many vicissitudes of good report and evil, amidst serious and complicated difficulties and with results which were felt far and wide.

He died November 13, 1836, in his rooms in King's College, and was buried six days later in the great vault beneath the pavement of the ante-chapel.

We may notice that Simeon's life was almost exactly contemporary with that of his illustrious friend and fellow Cantabrigian, William Wilberforce, who was born in 1759 and died in 1833.

William Pitt the Younger began his shorter life also in 1759, but Pitt, an undergraduate at fifteen, had left Cambridge before Simeon entered.
