Robert Horne

Robert Horne (1510s – 1579) was an English churchman, and a leading reforming Protestant. One of the Marian exiles, he was subsequently bishop of Winchester from 1560 to 1580. He was a Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge in 1537. He was Dean of Durham from 1551 to 1553, and again from 1559 to 1560. During his time as Dean he was responsible for removing ornamentation from Durham Cathedral. He was somewhat isolated. In exile, he was at Zurich, Frankfurt and Strasburg. He wrote additional material for a book of homilies by Jean Calvin (1553). With Thomas Beccon, John Jewel and Edwin Sandys, he was one of the commissioners of 1559, enforcing the Injunctions of Elizabeth I of England from July of that year.
