CLARKE, WILLIAM BRANWHITE (1798-1878), geologist and Anglican clergyman, was born on 2 June 1798 at East Bergholt, Suffolk, England, the eldest child of William Clarke, schoolmaster, and his wife Sarah, née Branwhite. Brought up in Constable country, Clarke attended his father's school and later Dedham Grammar School. In 1817 he entered Jesus College, Cambridge (B.A., 1821; M.A., 1824). In June 1821 he was made deacon at Norwich Cathedral by Bishop Bathurst, and ordained priest in 1823. After curacies in Suffolk and Sussex he became curate at East Bergholt in 1824 and, five years later when his father died, succeeded him at the East Bergholt Free School.

In that year he became vicar of the new St Mary's Church at Longfleet, Dorsetshire.
