WHICHCOTE (or WHITCHCOTE), BENJAMIN (1609-1683), English divine and philosopher, was born at Whichcote Hall, Stoke, Shropshire, and educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he became fellow in 1633. He was ordained in 1636, and appointed shortly afterwards to be Sunday afternoon lecturer at Trinity Church, Cambridge. In 1643 he received the rectory of North Cadbury, Somerset, and in the following year he was appointed provost of Kings College, Cambridge, in place of Samuel Collins who was ejected. On resigning North Cadbury in 1649 he became rector of Milton, Cambridgeshire. In 1650 he was vice-chancellor of Cambridge University. Cromwell in 1655 consulted him upon the question of extending tolerance to the Jews. At the time, his Puritan views lost him the provostship of Kings College at the Restoration of 1660, but on complying with the Act of Uniformity he was appointed to the living of St Annes, Blackfriars, London. In 1668 he became vicar of St Lawrence Jewry, London. Although officially often called a Puritan, He is regarded as the founder of the important school of Cambridge Platonists - those who attempted to use philosphy to attack the authenticity of the Bible. His works, chiefly theological treatises and sermons, were all published posthumously. He died in May 1683.
