South wall memorial - painted figures on copper of farmer John Prideaux 1592 / 3 , wife Agnes 1625 / 6 with 7 sons & 3 daughters, who lived at Stowford House, Harford, flic.kr/p/2nxHnvs

They are all shown kneeling on either side of a prayer desk with a skull on the chequerboard floor.

It was erected in 1639 by their 4th son John, later Bishop of Worcester, who is shown wearing a black cassock underneath a scarlet sleeveless doctor's gown or academical cope (closed in front), with black armholes, and small black hood, a black skull-cap on his head, and a square cap lying beside him

Although there is much information about their famous son - - there is sadly not much about them

John was possibly the son of Hugh Prideaux 1559 & great grandson of William Prideaux & Alice Giffard. +++

He was possibly a 2nd cousin to Thomas Williams 1566 on another brass here www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/581f1UAm5i whose mother was Alice Prideaux daughter of William and Alice +++ and who was also born at Stowford

The death of John senior or indeed having to rear 12 children, left resources stretched and the latter part of his 4th son John's early education, probably at Ashburton grammar school, was sponsored by wealthy Lady Fowell of the same parish, he is said to have later walked the 170 miles to Oxford under her sponsorship in 1596

The monument was cleaned and restored to mark the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2012 by the Harford PCC who paid the cost .

Notes: This commemorative book is a fine example of the abilities of the Glasgow University printers, MacLehose, and is a testament to the talents of the Glasgow firm of photographers, T. & R. Annan and Sons. Their beautiful portraits and images of the University buildings immortalized the Old College and the members of academic staff at a time of significant change for the University. Glasgow University Old and New is a valuable insight into the University’s past, and to the University’s role as a landmark institution. This visual record of the buildings and senior academic staff of Glasgow University is revised and updated from Memorials of the Old College of Glasgow (1871), which had 41 albumen or carbon prints by Thomas Annan. That work was produced as a document of the old university before the campus was moved to Gilmorehill. Most of the old buildings were sold to the City of Glasgow Union Railway and demolished.

Thomas Annan (1829-1887), who lived most of his life in Glasgow, trained and worked as a copperplate engraver until 1853, when he started a calotype printing business, probably with the encouragement of his friend David Octavius Hill. In 1857 he established a photographic studio, T. & R. Annan located in Sauchiehall Street from which he produced portraits, photographic reproductions of works of art and architectural photographs. Annan acquired the Scottish rights to the carbon print process shortly after its invention by Joseph Wilson Swan in 1866. He first used this process commercially to reproduce D. O. Hill's painting the Signing of the Deed of Demission. An astute businessman, Annan also acquired the British patent rights in the 'heliogravure' or photogravure process invented by William Henry Fox Talbot and developed by Karel Klic.
