Gabriel Goodman

Gabriel Goodman became the Dean of Westminster on 23rd September 1561 and the refounder of Ruthin School, in Ruthin, Denbighshire. In 1568 he translated the First Epistle to the Corinthians for the Bishops Bible and assisted Dr William Morgan with his translation of the Bible into Welsh. He is mentioned on the monument to William Morgan which stands in the grounds of St Asaph Cathederal.

Gabriel Goodman, the second son of Edward Goodman, a wealthy merchant in Ruthin, Denbighshire, was born at Nantclwyd y Dre, Ruthin in 1528. Very little is known of his early years, but a nineteenthcentury biography suggests that he was taught at home by one of the priests of the dissolved collegiate church at Ruthin. Goodman matriculated to the University of Cambridge from Jesus College in 1546. He graduated BA in 1549 or 1550, and M.A. from Christs College in 1553 where he had become a fellow the prior year. He returned to Jesus College as a fellow in 1554. He proceeded under special dispensation to a D.D. from St Johns College in 1564. He became chaplain to Sir William Cecil, later Lord Burghley, and tutor to Williams eldest son Thomas Cecil, Earl of Exeter.
