Who was John Barkham?

John Barkham, D.D. was an English clergyman, antiquary and historian. Highly reputed in his time as an authority, he published relatively little. He supported the efforts of John Speed, and may have been a source for the Display of Heraldry of John Guillim.

Barkham made a very extensive collection of coins, which he gave to William Laud; who presented them to the Bodleian library. He left also a treatise on coins in manuscript, which was never published.
