John Bleobury is often mentioned in deeds of the Hungerford 

 family as a feoffee of their estates, as for iastance in the purchase of 

 Farley Castle in 1369. He had been a brother of the Priory of 

 Edyndon, where an Obit was kept for him as a benefactor (Leland, 

 and Val. Eccl.). An ecclesiastic of this name was buried at 

 Shillingford, in Berks, where, under the north window of the 

 chancel, is his monument, on it a brass effigy of a priest vested in 

 his habit, all within an arch of tabernacle work, curiously wrought. 

 On the brass verge of the marble this epitaph : " De terre fut 

 feat et forme Johan de Bleobury jadys nome et en terre fu retourne 

 Tan de grace bien accompte 1372 en mois de Maiz qui bien lesponde 

 le vint et vint et septisme jour pour qui Dien de s'alme eit pilie. 

 Amen." In a glass window over the monument was the picture of 

 John Bleobury in a red gown and purple hood kneeling, and under 

 this, " Pro anima J. Blebury, Pater noster." 1
