John Hullier

John Hullier or Hulliarde, Huller or Hullyer, (c. 1520 – 16 April 1556) was an English clergyman and a Protestant martyr under Mary I of England.

He was educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge.[1] He became vicar of Babraham, Cambridgeshire in 1549 until he was deprived in February 1556.[2]

For his preaching in King's Lynn he was taken to Thomas Thirlby, Bishop of Ely, who sent him to Cambridge. Hullier was examined on Palm Sunday eve 28 March before a body of divines and lawyers headed by Nicholas Shaxton, at Great St Mary's, Cambridge.[3]

On Maundy Thursday, 16 April 1556 Hullier was burned at the stake on Jesus Green, Cambridge for refusing to renounce the Protestant faith.[3][4][5]
