John Ratcliffe or possibly Radcliffe (1700 – 1775) was Master of Pembroke College, Oxford.
Son of clergyman, Robert Ratcliffe, he was educated at John Roysse's Free School in Abingdon, (now Abingdon School).[1]
He earned a B.A (1722) and M.A (1725) at Pembroke. B.D. (1737) and Doctor of Divinity (D.D.) 1739.
John Ratcliffe became Master of Pembroke on 23 February 1738.[1]
The close relationship between Abingdon School and Pembroke College resulted in seven Old Abingdonians being appointed as consecutive masters at Pembroke between 1710 and 1843. They were Colwell Brickenden 1709–1714; Matthew Panting, 1714–1738; Ratcliffe, 1738–1775; William Adams, 1775–1789; William Sergrove 1789–1796; John Smyth, 1796–1809 and George William Hall, 1809–1843.[2]
He was rector of Coln Rogers (1739–1775) and canon of Gloucester (1739–1775).[3]
