John Malvern (1836-1918) was born in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire,
England, and died in Providence, Rhode Island. He was a Free Will Baptist pastor who
ministered in Lansing, Michigan; Lynn, Massachusetts; and Providence. In 1885, while
pastor of the Free Will Baptist Church in Lynn, he became interested in purchasing Mary
Baker Eddy's home at 8 Broad Street in Lynn. The transaction was never completed, and
Malvern did not purchase Eddy's home.
