John Hull (English politician)
John Hull (by 1503 – 10 or 16 September 1549), of Larkbeare, Exeter, Devon, was an English lawyer and politician. He was the MP for Exeter from 1539 to 1542 with William Hurst, and again in 1547–49 with Griffith Ameredith. At the time Exeter was one of the wealthiest cities in England, rivaling London. 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.
He is not to be confused with the 14th century mayor of Exeter of the same name.
