In 1620 he was rector of the college at St. Omer, and afterwards was sent on the mission to his native country, where he became a distinguished preacher. He was professed of the four vows 8 September 1622. Occasionally he went under the names of Bedford and Stanley.[1]

Works
There is a eulogium of Drury in the preface to a book called F. Robert Drury's Reliquary (1624), containing his prayers and devotions. Stow says that he was reputed by his fellow-churchmen to be a man of great learning, and generally admitted to be of good moral life.[2]
