Edward Prest (priest)

Edward Prest (born unknown, died unknown) was a late medieval or early Renaissance priest. Information regarding Prest is scarce, primarily deriving from ecclesiastical records and mentions in local historical documents. He is believed to have served in a rural parish, likely in England, based on the surname’s prevalence within the region during that era. Further details concerning his specific parish, dates of service, or contributions to the church or community remain largely undocumented. Due to the common nature of the name "Prest," identification is challenging without additional contextual information (e.g., diocese, parish records). He is assumed to have performed the standard duties associated with the priesthood of the time, including celebrating Mass, administering sacraments, preaching sermons, and providing pastoral care. The paucity of readily available information limits the possibility of constructing a comprehensive biographical account.
