Memorial to Bishop Benjamin Laney in Ely Cathedral

Benjamin Lany (or Laney; 1 January, 1591 – 24 January, 1675) was an English academic and bishop.

Life

Born in Ipswich, Lany was a student at Christ's College, Cambridge.^[1] He became a Fellow of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge in 1616, and was Master of Pembroke from 1630. He was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge in 1632. During the First English Civil War a visitation to the University on behalf of Parliament, in 1643 and led by Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester, with Simeon Ashe and William Goode, saw Lany deprived of his position. He went into exile with the future Charles II of England.^[2]^[3]

After the Restoration of 1660, he was Bishop of Peterborough in 1660, Bishop of Lincoln in 1663, and Bishop of Ely from 1667.^[2]
