Hamon L'Estrange

Not to be confused with Hamo le Strange or Hamon le Strange.

Hamon L'Estrange (1605–1660) was an English writer on history, theology and liturgy, of Calvinist views, loyal both to Charles I and the Church of England. Along with Edward Stephens (d. 1706),[1] he contributed to the seventeenth-century revival of interest in ancient liturgies;[2] with John Cosin and Anthony Sparrow he began the genre of commentary on the Book of Common Prayer.[3] He has been confused at times with his father, son and grandson of the same name.
