Higgin, Anthony, d. 1624.

Anthony Higgin (d. 1624), the son of Thomas Higgin of Manchester, was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, where he became a Fellow in 1574. In 1583 he became rector of Kirk Deighton near Wetherby in Yorkshire, and in 1608 he was appointed Dean of Ripon an appointment he held until his death. He collected books extensively throughout his life, and left them to the church at Ripon when he died. The surviving part of his collection, which numbers about 1250 volumes, is now preserved in Leeds University Library as part of Ripon Cathedral Library. Roger Phillips matriculated from St John's College, Cambridge at Easter 1579, took his B.A. in 1582/3, and became Rector of Quendon, Essex, 1585-1632. Possibly he was a pupil of Dean Higgin.
