Men of Kent and Kentishmen/Philip Dense
Philip Dense,
PHYSICIAN,
Was born (according to Wood) in the Diocese of Canterbury, and elected probationer of Merton College in 1500. He "entered on the physic line, but took no degree, though he writ something thereof." He died of the pestilence in 1607, and was buried in the choir of the Church of Merton College, in the catalogue of whose Fellows he is described as—"Medicus et astronomicus cum primis doctus."
