WILLIAM CUNINGHAM, otherwise KENINGHAM, who was probably a native of Norfolk, was born in or about 1531, and became a pensioner of Corpus Christi college in 1548, but was not matriculated till 15 May 1551. In 1557 he was admitted to the degree of M.B. in this university, having studied medicine seven years and been examined by Dr. Walker and Dr. Hatcher. He also studied at the university of Heidelberg, where he tells us he was genteelly entertained by Dr. John Langius, T. Erastus, physicians, and D. Balduinus, reader of the civil law, besides divers others, at the time of his commencement. It is supposed he was created M.D. at Heidelberg in or about 1559, at which period he seems to have changed his name from Keningham to Cuningham. Between the years 1556 and 1559 he was residing at Norwich, of which ancient city he gives a very curious map in his Cosmographicall Glasse. He afterwards obtained eminence as a physician in London, being also noted for his skill in astrology. In 1563 he was appointed public lecturer at Surgeon's hall. His town residence was in Coleman street. We have failed to discover the date or place of his death.
