William Ermested (died 31 October 1558)[1] was an English cleric, Canon of Windsor from 1554 to 1558,[2] and Master of the Temple in London.
Having previously graduated M.A. at a university abroad, Ermested was incorporated at Oxford on 12 December 1527, and graduated B.D. on 12 December 1527, later advancing to D.D.[1]
He re-founded Ermysted's Grammar School in Skipton in 1548.[5]
He was appointed to the twelfth stall in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle in 1554, and held the stall until 1558.
