Edward Trelawney

Edward Trelawney (c. 1653 – October 1726), of Coldrenick, near Liskeard, Cornwall, was an English clergyman who served as dean and archdeacon of Exeter between 1717 and 1726.^[1]

Trelawney was the son of Jonathan Trelawny, gentleman of St Germans, Cornwall,^[2] and a descendant of Sir Jonathan Trelawny, MP of Trelawne (died 1604) who left the Coldrenick estate to his second son Edward.^[3] He matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford, on 7 April 1671, aged 18. He was awarded B.A. from Christ Church, Oxford, in 1674 and awarded M.A. in 1677.^[2]

Trelawney was appointed rector of St Tudy in 1677, and of South Hill, Cornwall, in 1691. He became a canon in 1699 and sub-dean of Exeter in 1705. In 1717 he became Dean of Exeter and Archdeacon of Exeter and remained in post until his death on 21 or 24 October 1726.^[2]

Trelawney married Elizabeth Darell, daughter of Thomas Darell of Chawcroft, Hampshire and had sons Darell and Charles, who were both Members of Parliament.^[3]
