He was a chorister in the Choir of King's College, Cambridge[1] before attending Eton College and then returning to King's College, Cambridge as an undergraduate.[2] He became vicar of Babraham, Cambridgeshire in 1549 until he was deprived in February 1556.[3]
For his preaching in King's Lynn he was taken to Thomas Thirlby, Bishop of Ely, who sent him to Cambridge. Hullier was examined on Palm Sunday eve 28 March before a body of divines and lawyers headed by Nicholas Shaxton, at Great St Mary's, Cambridge.[4]
On Maundy Thursday, 16 April 1556 Hullier was burned at the stake on Jesus Green, Cambridge for refusing to renounce the Protestant faith.[4][5][6]
