Memorial to Edward Hoblyn Pedler of Liskeard, recording the
bequest of £15000 by his sister Anne Pedler to Truro Cathedral. The plaque
is on the east side of the stairwell between the north quire aisle
and the crypt.
To the glory of God
and in pious memory of Edward Hoblyn Pedler
of Liskeard in this county

The Anglo-Saxon Episcopate of Cornwall
and of various papers on the antiquities of Cornwall
A primary benefactor of the parochial schools of his
native town A faithful servant of God and of His Holy Church
Died 24th August 1863 aged 61 years
This tablet is erected
in accordance with the will of his last surviving sister
Anne Pedler who died 20th November 1890 aged 81 years
and who bequeathed the residue of her estate
exceeding fifteen thousand pounds towards
the endowment of a Residentiary Canonry
the Chancellor’s Divinity Schools
scholarships for the education of choristers
the extension of this Cathedral church
and the maintenance of Divine Service therein
for the continual remembrance of her brother
because he had done good in Israel both toward
God and toward his house
(Ⅱ Chronicles 24:16 )
The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance
(based on Psalms 112:6 )
Arms and crest at the upper left of the memorial.
The arms of Gidley are
or, a castle sable a bordure of the second bezantée
and the crest is
an eagle issuant or, the wings sable bezantée
(Burke, Bernard, The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales , p 398 . 1884 , London, Harrison & Sons ),
which one or more of the Pedler siblings had presumably inherited the right to use through their
paternal grandmother, Hannah Pedler, née Gidley.
The same arms appear at the bottom left-hand corner of
Liskeard, St Martin,
North aisle 3 .
