Dr Roger Andrewes (sometimes Andrews) (died 1635) was an English
churchman and academic, archdeacon and Chancellor at Chichester
Cathedral in the English Church. He was also a scholar, a Fellow of
Pembroke Hall and was, in 1618, made Master of Jesus College,
Cambridge. He was the brother of the scholar and cleric Lancelot
Andrewes and, like his brother, served as a translator for the King
James Version of the Bible. Lancelot Andrewes (1555 25 September
1626) was an English clergyman and scholar, who held high positions
in the Church of England during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and
King James I. During the latter's reign, Andrewes served
successively as Bishop of Chichester, Ely and Winchester and
oversaw the translation of the Authorized Version (or King James
Version) of the Bible. In the Church of England he is commemorated
on 25 September with a Lesser Festival.
