'Two of my predecessors here are said to have been descended from Huguenots, viz. Peter Stephen Goddard DD who inducted to this living 29th June 1742 and was made Master of Clare College, Cambridge in 1761; and John Fallowfield, who was inducted 1st March 1795. He was a fellow of Clare and died 6th March 1812. These are both reputed to have been Frenchmen by their fathers. Mr Fallowfield's father was a refugee minister at Exeter, where he had a small congregation of his own nation; Dr Goddard's father was a barber in Cambridge. In the Clare admission book Fallowfield's Christian name is entered as William which was afterwards altered to John. He is also stated to have been born at Hull.'
