Owen Price (died 25 November 1671) was a Welsh schoolmaster and writer.
Price was born in Montgomeryshire, Wales and studied at Jesus College, Oxford for four years. After returning to Wales to teach, he resumed his education at Oxford and obtained his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees by 1656. He became master of Magdalen College School, Oxford in 1657, and was complaining in the following year about the delay in appointing him as master of Westminster School, saying that the delay was dissuading parents from sending their children to him for lessons. He was not appointed to Westminster School, and lost his position at Magdalen College School on the Restoration because of his non-conformist beliefs. He then taught in Devon and Oxfordshire, maintaining his good reputation as a teacher. He died in Oxford, near Magdalen College, on 25 November 1671. [1]
Price wrote The Vocal Organ (1665), containing the first illustrations in an English book of the parts of the body involved in speech. It taught punctuation and pronunciation, amongst other topics. English Orthography (1668) was a revised version of his first book, including rules of spelling set out in 'question and answer' format. A later edition, in 1670, added a list of words that were frequently misspelt, although his lists were not original. [1]
William Waynflete, born William Patten, was Provost of Eton (1442–1447), Bishop of Winchester (1447–1486) and Lord Chancellor of England (1456–1460). He is best remembered as the founder of Magdalen College and Magdalen College School in Oxford.

Theophilus Gale (1628–1678) was an English educationalist, nonconformist and theologian of dissent.
Samuel Parker was an English churchman, of strong Erastian views and a fierce opponent of Dissenters. His political position is often compared with that of Thomas Hobbes, but there are also clear differences; he was also called in his time a Latitudinarian, but this is not something on which modern scholars are agreed. During the reign of King James II he served as Bishop of Oxford, and was considered by James to be a moderate in his attitude to Catholics.
Robert Frampton was Bishop of Gloucester in England from 1681 to 1691 and later a Non-juror.

John Ireland was an English Anglican priest, who served as Dean of Westminster from 1816 until his death. In this role, he carried the crown during the coronation services at Westminster Abbey of two monarchs. Theologically and politically conservative, as shown in his writings, he was generous with the considerable riches that he acquired during his career, making large donations to support education and relieve poverty in his home town. In 1831, as Ireland was "a distinguished Benefactor of the University", Oxford had sought and obtained his permission to put on display a marble bust of him by the sculptor Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey. The bust is now in the Examination Schools of the university. During his lifetime, he established scholarships at the University of Oxford, and in his will, he left money to establish the post of Dean Ireland's Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture.
