EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print captures the enigmatic figure of Alan Percy (d. 1560), an English churchman and Master of St John's College, Cambridge. The image transports us back to the Tudor era, a time of religious upheaval and intellectual ferment in England. Percy's stern expression and somber attire reflect the solemnity and gravity of his position as a leading figure in the English Church. Born in an uncertain year, Percy rose through the ranks of the Church to become Master of St John's College in 1545, a position he held until his death in 1560. During his tenure, he oversaw the college through tumultuous times, including the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII and the subsequent re-establishment of the college under Edward VI. Percy was known for his learning and piety, and he played a significant role in the education of future generations of scholars and clergy. He was a prolific writer, producing works on theology, philosophy, and education. One of his most notable contributions was the establishment of the Percy All Souls' Scholarship, which provided funding for students to study at the University of Oxford. Despite his accomplishments, Percy's life was not without controversy. He was accused of heresy during the reign of Mary I, but was ultimately cleared of the charges. His legacy, however, remains a complex one, as he navigated the treacherous waters of Tudor politics and religion. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the life of a fascinating historical figure, one who played a crucial role in the intellectual and religious landscape of Tudor England. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and complexity of the past, and the enduring importance of education and scholarship.
