Gervase Bryan (c. 1622 – 27 December 1689) was an English clergyman, an ejected minister of 1662.
Gervase Bryan (also known as Jarvis or Jervis Brian) was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, matriculating on 26 May 1640, graduating with BA (1643/44) and MA (1647).
[4] In November 1661, he was one of the ministers in Worcestershire implicated in the (probably) sham Pakington Plot and was briefly arrested alongside the supposed leader, Andrew Yarranton,[5] Gervase Bryan continued to live in the area being granted a licence to preach at his house in 1672.
[6] He moved to Birmingham in 1675 and then, in 1676, succeeded his brother, John, as Presbyterian minister to a congregation meeting in Coventry.
[7] The liberty to meet in licensed rooms was withdrawn in 1682; but in 1687, after James II's declaration for liberty of conscience, ministers Obadiah Grew and Gervase Bryan reassembled their congregation in St. Nicholas Hall, commonly called Leather Hall.
