_Bishop Pursglove (Suffragan) of Hull._--This prelate is buried in

Tideswell Church, Devonshire, and a copy of his monumental brass is given

in _Illustrations of Monumental Brasses_, published in 1842 by the

Cambridge Camden Society. Perhaps some reader of "N. & Q." who has access

to that work will send the inscription for insertion in your columns. Any

information also as {66} to his consecration, character, and period of

decease, would be acceptable. What is the best work on English Suffragan

bishops? I believe Wharton's _Suffragans_ (which, however, I do not possess

to have a complete list of such bishops, with the names of their sees, and

dates of consecration and demise. I find no Suffragan bishop after Bishop

John Sterne, consecrated for Colchester 12th November, 1592, and this from

the valuable list in Percival's _Apol. for Ap. Suc._
