Reverend Abraham Wright was a Puritan writer who was presented to the vicarage of Oakham in 1645. He was not inducted, as he refused to take the Covenant. After the Restoration he took possession of the vicarage. He published various books, the best known being a Eulogy of Wentworth, and Five Sermons (1656).
