In 1609 Humphrey Tyndall (1549–1614), fellow of Pembroke Hall, president of Queens' College and a vice-chancellor of the University, and dean of the King's School, Ely, dismissed the headmaster William Pamplyn (d. c 1612). The record of his dismissal is entitled 'Some of the reasons wherefore Mr. Doctor Tyndall, Deane of Ely, discharged one Mr. Pamplyn, late Schoolmaster of Ely, from his place.' It includes, in addition to this charge brought against his daughter (likely Anna), which was left off the final list ('This was ceass'd'), accusations that Pamplyn taught an irregular curriculum, avoided both teaching and mass, and charged extraordinary bribes for entry into the school (see the Introduction, 'Historical Background: The King's School, Ely,' and 'Performance Traditions: School Drama'). The document is found in a collection of transcripts assembled by Thomas Jones in the early eighteenth century and subsequently copied and simplified by James Bentham. No original seems to survive (Owen and Thurley, King's School, p 55).
