Further Research The Christ Church Archivist has come back to me regarding John Hammond's status He was a poor scholar which means he matriculated as a servitor who would have done menial jobs such as helping in the Library or waiting on tables. His father records his status as 'pleb' in the University matriculation registers and as a servitor would have paid far lower entrance fees. So his family although ambitious were not wealthy.
