Tudway, Thomas (c. 1650–1726)

English composer and organist. He became chorister in the Chapel Royal in London soon after the Restoration (1660) and lay vicar at Windsor in 1664. He was appointed organist at King's College, Cambridge, in 1670, and professor of music in the university there in 1705, in succession to Staggins. Between 1714 and 1720 he compiled a large collection of English cathedral music in six volumes. He wrote an Ode for Queen Anne although he was suspended from his posts at Cambridge for lèse majesté.
