Christopher Harvey (poet)

Christopher Harvey (1597–1663) was an English clergyman and poet.

Life

The son of the Rev. Christopher Harvey of Bunbury, Cheshire and his wife Ellen (Helen), he came from a Puritan background, his father's associates including William Hinde, Samuel Torshell and John Bruen. He was a batler of Brasenose College, Oxford, in 1613, and graduated B.A. 19 May 1617, becoming M.A. 1 February 1620. In 1630 he was rector of Whitney, Herefordshire; at Michaelmas 1632 he became head-master of Kington grammar school, but he seems to have returned to Whitney on or before the following 25 March, when a new head-master was appointed.

On 14 November 1639 Harvey was instituted to the vicarage of Clifton on Dunsmore, Warwickshire. He owed this preferment to his patron Sir Robert Whitney, according to a dedicatory epistle to Whitney in his edition of Thomas Pierson's Excellent Encouragements against Afflictions, 1647. His widowed mother had married Pierson.

Harvey was buried at Clifton on 4 April 1663.
