John Prideaux Lightfoot
John Prideaux Lightfoot (23 March 1803 – 23 March 1887) was an English clergyman who served as the
Oxford Architectural Society (later the Oxfordshire Architectural and Historical Society) from November 1854 to November 1855.[3]
John Prideaux Lightfoot was born on 23 March 1803 at
Sir George Best Robinson, 2nd Baronet, widow of Capt. C. R. G. Douglas, B.N.I.[7] They had one daughter.[5]
Lightfoot succeeded
Gothic revival library of 1856 and new rector's lodgings in the Georgian style (1857).[8][9] In 1886, Lightfoot commissioned the Adoration of the Magi tapestry from Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, both alumni of Exeter, to be hung in the chapel. The completed tapestry was presented to the college in 1890, three years after Prideaux's death at the rectory at Exeter on 23 March 1887.[10]
