Admin History:

Reverend Andrew Marvell (d.1640) was a resident of Yorkshire and an Anglican clergyman, thought to be of Calvinist persuasion. From 1614 he and his wife Anne Pease lived at Winestead-in-Holderness, this being the birth place of his son the poet Andrew Marvell.

In 1624 he was appointed to the offices of Town's Preacher of Kingston upon Hull (or Lecturer at Holy Trinity Church) and Master of God's House, Hull, (an Almshouse commonly known as Charterhouse), following the death of the previous officeholder Thomas Whincopp [see C BRB - Bench Books of the Corporation of Kingston-upon-Hull C BRB].

He died in 1640 as a result of a boating accident whilst crossing the River Humber.
