Excerpt from The Oxenbridges of Brede Place, Sussex, and Boston, Massachusetts, Vol. 12 John Ocksonbridge of Croydon, who owned the Surrey property left by Adam Oxenbridge, and was probably his grandson, by his will dated 15th Sept., and proved 14th Nov. 1575, appointed his brother John "the preacher," one of the overseers; it being not unusual for brothers by different mothers to bear the same Christian name. At first John Oxenbridge was minister at Southam, Warwickshire. Here he made himself very active with Paget; and in their attempt to bring in their new form of prayer they were a main cause of the disturbances which took place in Warwickshire in June, 1576, for which he was summoned before the High Commission. On 16th October, 1580, he appears to have been one of the prisoners in Wisbeach Castle, in reference to whom inquiry was made whether their servants were to have free access to them, and whether they should have their meals together. Imprisonment did not, however, abate his zeal, for three years afterwards he was again brought before the High Commission: and continuing in his course, he subscribed temp. Archbishop Whitgift, the book of discipline. He subsequently removed to Coventry; and in the Corporation Annals under the date of 7th Oct. 1609, it is stated, that "an order was made for a lecture at Bablake every Sunday afternoon during the pleasure of the mayor and his brethren the preacher to be at their discretion and receive 5s. for every sermon. Mr. Oxenbridge then appointed during pleasure." He died in 1617, and on the 22nd September was buried in Trinity Church, Coventry; in the Register of his burial he is called "a grave and reverend preacher."
