About Edward Trelawney

Lived 1655 – 1726 (aged 70–71).

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

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