Henry Butts, D.D. (1573โ€“1632) was a priest and academic in the second half of the sixteenth century and the first decades of the seventeenth.[1]

Butts was born in Northamptonshire. He was educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, graduating Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1595; and Master of Arts (MA) degree in 1598. He was appointed Fellow in 1597; and Master in 1626. He was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from 1629 to 1631.[2] During his time as vice-chancellor, Bubonic plague broke out in Cambridge and, unlike most of the students and scholars, he remained in the city to coordinate the university's response.[3] He held livings at Birdbrook then Barton Mills. He hanged himself on Easter Day (1 April) 1632.[3]
