George Owen (1499–1558), from Oxford and Godstow , Oxfordshire, was an English royal physician and politician.
Owen was born in the Diocese of Worcester and educated at Merton College, Oxford .[ 1] In 1520 he became a Fellow of the college.
George Owen was the royal physician to several members of the Tudor dynasty : Henry VIII , Edward VI , and Mary I .[ 2] He served alongside Thomas Wendy and Edmund Harman .
He was also a Member of the Parliament of England for Oxfordshire in 1558.[ 1]
Owen owned Wolvercote Manor and Mill, north of Oxford .[ 3] In 1552, he petitioned the King to prevent the Mayor of Oxford from enclosing Wolvercote Common where the villagers of Wolvercote traditionally had grazing rights. Following the dissolution of Rewley Abbey , he also acquired the manor of Yarnton .[ 4]
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries , St Alban Hall , Oxford, became the property of the Crown , and Henry VIII granted it to Owen, who conveyed it to Sir John Williams and Sir John Gresham . In 1547 they transferred the hall to John Pollard and Robert Perrot, who sold it to the Warden and Fellows of Merton College.[ 5]
