This page contains a chronological list of clerical naturalists from St. Cuthbert (c. 634–687) to Richard Addington (d. 2002).
There are currently 855 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 three key printed sources (Armstrong, Challinor, or Desmond).
I have added a brief biographical note to about 25% of the entries so far, and this will increase over time. About 20% of the entries now have a link to the individual's entry in one or more standard online sources (BHL, CCEd, herbaria@Home, ODNB, Quakers, or Wikipedia). I will add more links regularly.
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.
