BALCANQUAL, WALTER, an eminent Episcopalian divine of the seventeenth century, the son of the Rev. Walter Balcanqual, mentioned above, born in Edinburgh about 1586. .. He commenced his studies at the university of Edinburgh, where, in 1609, he took his degree of M.A. He afterwards entered at Pembroke Hall, Oxford, as a bachelor of divinity, and was admitted a fellow, September 8, 1611... In 1617 he was appointed master of the Savoy, in the Strand, London; and in 1618 he was sent by his majesty to the synod of Dort. .. In March 1624, he obtained the deanery of Rochester, and afterwards in May 1639, he was made dean of Durham. .. In 1638 he accompanied the marquis of Hamilton, the king’s commissioner, to Scotland in the capacity of chaplain; .... On July 29, 1641, he and five other gentlemen were denounced as incendiaries by the Scottish parliament. He was afterwards exposed to much persecution from the English Puritans, and after being plundered, sequestrated, and forced to fly from London, he went to Oxford, and for some years shared the waning fortunes of his sovereign. He died at Chirk castle, Denbighshire, on Christmas day, ... and a splendid monument was subsequently erected to his memory in the parish church of Chirk, by Sir Thomas Middleton.-(Steven’s History of Heriot’s Hospital.)
... Stuarta Balcanquall was dau. and coheir of Dean Walter Balcauquall. See the baptism of their first child 21 July 1643. Sir Thomas and Stuarta (who was his first wife) were parents also of Thomas Thynne, who eventually succeeded to Longleat, and is so well known to posterity as "Tom of Ten Thousand." ....The Dean died 25 Dec. 1645, and was buried at Chirk, co. Denbigh.
