Thomas Philipot (died 1682) was an English poet and miscellaneous writer. The son of Somerset herald John Philipot, he proceeded M.A. at Clare Hall, Cambridge, regiis literis, in 1636, and was incorporated in that degree at Oxford in 1640. He published some poetical works and contributed to miscellanies.
Thomas Philipot, son of John Philipot, Somerset herald, by Susan, his wife, only daughter and heir of William Glover, was admitted a fellow-commoner of Clare Hall, Cambridge, on 10 February 1632–1633, and matriculated on 29 March 1633. [1] He graduated M.A. regiis literis on 4 February 1635–6, and was incorporated in that degree at Oxford in July 1640. [1] Wood says "he was, by those that well knew him, esteemed a tolerable poet when young, and at riper years well versed in matters of divinity, history, and antiquities". [2] He was buried at Greenwich on 30 September 1682. [3]
By his will, dated 11 September 1680, after devising certain premises to Clare Hall, Cambridge, for establishing two Kentish fellowships, he left his houses in the town of Eltham and a field (sold in 1866 to the commissioners of woods and forests for 650l.) to the Clothworkers' Company to establish six almshouses for four people from Eltham and two from Chislehurst, allowing them 5 l. each a year. [1]
Philipot published as his own in 1659 his father's Villare Cantianum. [1] His genuine works are:
He contributed English verses to (α) Fisher's Marston Moor, 1650; (β) Cartwright's Comedies, 1651; (γ) Benlowes's Theophila, 1652; (δ) Boys's Æneas his Descent into Hell, 1661; (ε) Southouse's Monasticon Favershamiense, 1671. [4]
