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]
