Sir Christopher Trychay[note 1] (died 1574) was an English priest who served as the vicar of St George's Church, Morebath from 1520 until his death in 1574.
Trychay spent 20 years introducing the cult of Saint Sidwell to Morebath, but then he and the parish obeyed orders to enforce the English Reformation's rejection of such practices.
While Trychay and his congregation generally accepted applying government policies on religion – spanning from Henry VIII's split from Rome through Mary I's restoration of Catholicism to Elizabeth I's Protestant religious settlement – his accounts record that he and the parish sent five men in support of the failed Prayer Book Rebellion in 1549.
Trychay showed further resistance to implementing the Reformation in initially refraining from disposing of recently acquired vestments when they were prohibited under Edward VI.
