William Day [1]
an English prelate, brother of George Day, bishop of Chichester, was admitted to King's College, Cambridge, in 1545; became proctor of Cambridge in 1558; was made, by queen Elizabeth, provost of Eton and dean of Windsor; and made bishop of Winchester, which office he enjoyed scarcely a year, dying of extreme old age in 1596. Unlike his brother, he was a zealous Protestant. See Fuller, Worthies cf England (ed. Nuttall), 3:60.
