John Hull (by 1503 – 10 or 16 September 1549), of Larkbeare,[1] Exeter, Devon, was an English lawyer and politician.
His main work was a bill and subsequent project to widen and dredge the river Exe.
It is thought that he became a member of parliament for the purpose of securing an inheritance denied him by Sir John Paulet.
[6] He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Exeter in 1539 and 1547, during the reign of Henry VIII.
[8][9] He acted as a justice of the peace for Devon from 1543 until his sudden death in September 1549 and was buried in Exeter Cathedral.
