Foster: Meynell, Thomas (Maynell), 'ser'. Exeter Coll., matric. 20 July 1654, BA 11 Mar. 1657-8; MA from Hart Hall 7 Aug. 1660, rector of South Kilworth, co. Leicester, 1662,and of Kirk Langley, co. Derby, 1662, canon of Lichfield 1674. See Foster's Index Eccl.
The ordination records are odd -- there are two records of ordination as priest. But there is no other Meynell in Foster, so one assumes it must be an error.
An Exhibit Book of 1693 states that TM was a MA from Exeter College Oxford and had been ordained priest by Bishop Skinner of Oxford on 16 January 1661 (Lichfield RO, B/V/1/89A).
