MA degree Oxford; Rector St. Mary's 1624/36, and of Lamorran. Master of the grammar school in Truro. Polwhele says of this longstanding institution -"It may well be classed with the first seminaries of England, and its masters and scholars have frequently been formidable rivals to those of the Royal foundation in genius, taste and learning." He was persecuted, hounded and thrown in jail, where he was heavily plundered of his possessions. (His will gives some idea of the trials and tribulations the clergy was forced to undergo.)

"for in 1628 he constructed a vault under the altar of St. Mary’s Church, covered it with a stone and affixed thereto a monumental brass—this last being now on the east wall of St. Mary s aisle. It is in the shape of a shield with an inscription and the coats of arms of Phippen, Jordan (his mother's family) and Pye (his first wife’s family). The Latin inscription may be rendered as follows: I, George Fitzpen or Phippen, (born in) 1591 at Melcomb in Dorset, in 1614 Master of Arts and Preacher, in 1624 Rector of this Church, and Jane Pye, my wife, (married in) 1621, have had this Table and the Vault beneath the same made in 1628. Jesu, Son of David, (thou art) alone for us the Way, the Truth and the Life."

The mention of 'John Pen' is interesting: this is found in the fascinating Phippen chart (with a genealogy of sorts and a number of heraldic achievements) drawn up in Salem, Mass. in 1808, which was copied from a similar earlier (but now lost) chart dated 1767 (and of which George D. Phippen's 1868 article gives a partial transcription). The chart contains material which could only have come to the New England Phippens by way of their ancestral uncle Rev. George in Truro (including, for example, the impaled coat of arms of Rev. George Phippen's first wife, Jane Pye, and her first husband, Henry Burgess of Truro). ... “
