Thomas Fulwar
Irish Anglican priest
Thomas Fulwar (Fuller) was an Irish Anglican priest in the seventeenth century.[1]
Fulwar was the son of John Fulwar, the vicar of Stebbing.[2] He is recorded in Alumni Oxonienses as being incorporated from Cambridge in 1645.[3][4] and chancellor of Cork Cathedral in 1639.[5]
He was Bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe from 1641 to 1661.[6] During the Commonwealth he is credited with having ordained - in England - nearly 1000 Anglican clergy, the most active of all bishops in this process.[7] In 1661, no doubt as a reward for this service, he became Archbishop of Cashel.[8] Thomas bequeathed money for the manufacture of a new flagon, cup and paten for the cathedral at Cashel and these survive with an inscription to that effect.[9] He died in office on 31 March 1667.[10]
