John Battely (1646–1708), antiquarian, was appointed Archdeacon of Canterbury and a Canon of Canterbury Cathedral (Stall I) in 1688.
He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (1662; B.A. 1665–6; Fellow, 1668; M.A. 1669; D.D. 1684).[1] He had been rector of Hunton and Adisham (1684–1708); chaplain to Archbishops Sancroft and Tillotson; Chancellor of Brecknock (1684); Archdeacon of Suffolk (1687–8); and was also Master of the Eastbridge Hospital (1688).[2]
The following books with his inscription probably came to the Library after his death.
Not all are found in the list given in the Benefactors' Book (f. 116).
Battely also owned at least one medieval manuscript from St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury.[3]
