Anthony Nicholl (died 1658) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons, variously between 1640 and 1656. He supported the Parliamentary side in the English Civil War. BiographyNicholl was a member of the Nicholl family of Penvose in Cornwall. His mother Philippa Rouse was a half-sister of John Pym and a second cousin of Sir Francis Drake.[1] In April 1640, Nichol was elected Member of Parliament for Bossiney in the Short Parliament. He was elected MP for Bodmin for the Long Parliament in November 1640.[2] He was an extreme presbyterian and was one of the eleven members impeached in July 1647. He obtained a speaker's pass to go to Cornwall but was arrested on 17 August and brought back to Thomas Fairfax in Kingston upon Thames. He was well treated and after two days' detention was sent to London with an accusation of High Treason. He escaped with the connivance of his captors. He was disabled from sitting in parliament by an order in January 1648, but this was revoked in June 1648. In 1648 he was made Master of the Armoury of the Tower as compensation for the loss of his position as customer of Plymouth.[1] He was not recorded as sitting after Pride's Purge in 1648. In 1654 Nicholl was elected as one of the MPs for Cornwall in the First Protectorate Parliament. He was re-elected MP for Cornwall in 1656 for the Second Protectorate Parliament.[2] He was appointed High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1657.[3] Nicholl died in London in February 1658 and was buried in the Savoy.[3] A sumptuous memorial was erected by his wife at St Tudy in Cornwall.[4] FamilyNicholl married Ann Speccot and had a family.[4] References1. ^1 [https://archive.org/stream/familyheirsofsir01fulluoft#page/366/mode/2up Elizabeth (Douglas), Lady Fuller-Eliott-Drake The family and heirs of Sir Francis Drake (1911) page 366] {{s-start}}{{s-par|en}}{{succession box2. ^1 {{Cite Notitia Parliamentaria|converted=1|part=2|pages=229–239}} 3. ^1 [https://archive.org/stream/familyheirsofsir01fulluoft#page/416/mode/2up Elizabeth (Douglas), Lady Fuller-Eliott-Drake The family and heirs of Sir Francis Drake (1911) p416] 4. ^1 Parish Church of St Tudy {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929083643/http://www.caerkief.co.uk/Churches/Tudy.html |date=29 September 2011 }} | title=Member of Parliament for Bossiney | before= Parliament suspended since 1629 | with= Sir John Clotworthy | years=1640 | after= Sir John Clotworthy | after2= Sir Christopher Yelverton, 1st Baronet }} | title=Member of Parliament for Bodmin | before= Richard Prideaux | before2= Sir Richard Wynn, 2nd Baronet | with=John Arundell 1640 | with2= Thomas Waller 1648 | years=1640–1648 | after= Not represented in Barebones parliament }}{{succession box | title=Member of Parliament for Cornwall |before =Robert Bennet |before2 =Francis Langdon |before3 =Anthony Rous |before4 =John Bawden | with= Charles Boscawen 1654 |with2 =Thomas Gewen 1654 | with3= James Launce 1654 | with4=Anthony Rous 1654–1656 | with5=Thomas Ceely 1654–1656 | with6 = Richard Carter 1654–166 | with7= Walter Moyle 1654–1656 | with8= Anthony Rous 1656 | with9 William Braddon 1656 | with10 = John St Aubin 1656 | years=1654–1656 | after= Hugh Boscawen | after2= Francis Buller }}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Nicholl, Anthony}} 10 : Year of birth missing|1658 deaths|Members of the pre-1707 English Parliament for constituencies in Cornwall|High Sheriffs of Cornwall|Roundheads|Eleven Members|English MPs 1640 (April)|English Presbyterians of the Interregnum (England)|English MPs 1640–1648|English MPs 1654–1655 |
