 GENUKI: Bishop Robert Pursglove of Tideswell, Derbyshire (1504-1580)
He sold Pursglove the land on which the Tideswell Grammar School was built; and at one time he was himself schoolmaster in Tideswell, of a free school which predates Pursglove's Grammar School itself.
In the face of the evidence from the parish register, it may be supposed that the date on the Brass is in error.
His depiction is particularly noteworthy as such vestments were especially symbolic to those of the Catholic faith, and their wearing had been expressly forbidden by the Queen, in her attempts to stamp out the Catholic faith.
