About Thomas Cademan

Lived 1590 – 1651 (aged 60–61). Thomas Cademan was a physician.

Sir Thomas Cademan (1590?–1651) was an English recusant physician.

Life Cademan was born in Norfolk about 1590. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and proceeded B.A. in 1606 and M.A. in 1609. He then took the degree of M.D. at the University of Padua in March 1620. In May and June 1623, he passed his examination with the College of Physicians of London, and was ordered to become incorporated at one of the English universities.

In 1626, Cademan was returned to the parliamentary commission by the College as a Catholic. He was then residing in Fetter Lane. Two years later he was noted as a recusant, residing in Westminster. He afterwards is mentioned as living at St. Martin's-in-the-Fields. It is supposed that his religious views delayed his admission to the college. He apparently was never incorporated at Oxford or Cambridge. It was not till 3 December 1630 that he became licentiate of the College; on 22 December he was admitted a fellow. Cademan had an adult son in 1641. He has been identified with John Cademan, M.D., recommended on 22 June 1640 by the College of Physicians for appointment to the office of physician to the army.
