Clerical Naturalists in Chronological Order

This page contains a chronological list of clerical naturalists from St. Cuthbert (c. 634–687) to Richard Addington (d. 2002).

There are currently 1136 names in the list and more are being added regularly. Each entry includes an individual's name, their dates of birth and death, and a reference to one or more of four key printed sources (Armstrong, BIH, Challinor, Desmond, or Fasti. Ecc. Scot.) or a link to the individual's entry in one or more standard online sources (BHL, CCEd, Herbaria@Home, ODNB, Quakers, Royal Society, or Wikipedia). I will add more links regularly.

Find out more about the printed and online sources

I have added a brief biographical note to about half of the entries so far. Many of these notes also indicate if the person was elected as an associate or fellow of the Linnean Society (ALS or FLS) or as a fellow of the Royal Society (FRS). In these cases, the date of election is also given. I am completing these notes in chronological order, and have currently completed all entries for individuals born before 1790, as well as a smaller selection of those born after that date.

Please browse the page or use page search to search for keywords (Control + F on Windows or Command + F on a Mac).

This list is a work in progress and the long-term goal is to migrate it to a fully searchable database. To illustrate the data that will be available from the database when the project is more advanced, I have created sample pages for William Derham, William Turner, and Gilbert White.

Where dates of birth are unknown, in order to assign individuals a place in the ranking, I have alloted them a lifespan of 'three score years and ten', so they appear in the list 70 years before their known death date. If neither birth nor death date are known, I have placed them 30 years before the decade in which we first hear of them. In both cases, these assumptions are simply to put them in an approximate place in the chronology, and do not imply that their birth dates are known.

The list concludes with about 35 names where no birth or death dates are currently known. If you have any information about these or any of the individuals in this list, particularly those for whom key information such as names or birth and death dates are missing, please get in touch!
