Thomas Allen (dean of Chester)

Thomas Allen (fl. 1598-1617) was an English clergyman who served as Dean of Chester Cathedral. Little biographical information is definitively known about him beyond his tenure in this ecclesiastical office. He was installed as Dean of Chester on November 12, 1598, and held the position until his death or resignation sometime before 1619. Records indicate his presence in Chester during the first two decades of the 17th century, primarily associated with cathedral administration. Further research is required to fully reconstruct his life and career, and detailed sources regarding his earlier life, education, or other activities are currently limited.
