Charles Abdy Marcon

Charles Abdy Marcon (22 September 1853 – c. 1949) was an English clergyman, Master of Marcon's Hall, Oxford, from 1891 to 1918, then from 1918 Vicar of Kennington.

Marcon was the third son of the Rev. Walter Marcon, Rector of Edgefield, Norfolk, a first-class cricketer who in his youth had played for Eton and Oxford. Born at Edgefield, he was educated at Gresham's School, Holt, and Charsley's Hall, Oxford, matriculating on 14 January 1874 at the age of twenty and graduating BA in 1878, MA in 1882.

Marcon was ordained a deacon of the Church of England in 1886 and served as curate of South Hinksey, Berkshire, from 1886 until 1899. In 1891 he took over from William Henry Charsley as Master of Charsley's Hall, Oxford, with the result that it was renamed Marcon's Hall. He remained as Master until 1918.

In 1892 Marcon was admitted as a senior member of St Mary Hall and was ordained a priest in 1895. In 1903 he was elected to Oriel and in 1909 was appointed as chaplain of H. M. Prison Oxford.
