WHARTON,  Henry  (1664-95),  was  son  of
the  Vicar  of  Worstead,  and  born  there,
9th  November  1664.  He  went  to  a  local
school,  but  was  mostly  taught  by  his  father,
and  so  thoroughly  that  when  he  went  to
Caius  College,  Cambridge,  he  was  soon  known
as  '  an  extraordinary  young  man.'  He  held
a  scholarship  at  Caius  till  1687,  and  studied
almost  every  branch  of  human  knowledge.
