The Monumental Effigies of Scotland from the Thirteenth to the Fifteenth Century
Robert Brydall (Author)
In Rogers' Monuments and Monumental Inscriptions of Scotland (1871)
it is stated that " in the aisle of the Red Friars Monastery . . . . a magnificent tomb contains under a canopy two statues the size of life (figs. 52 and 53): one
is supposed to be Sir Patrick Houston of that Ilk, wbo died in 1440 ; the other Sir Patrick's wife, Agnes Campbell, who died in 1456," the inscription on the
tomb being then illegible. The description must have applied to a date long anterior to the publication of that book, as the old parish church was replaced
by the present one not many years later, previous to which the figures were allowed for a great many years to lie unprotected in the open air, playthings for
the village children. They now lie beside each other, without any canopy or base, in a recess constructed for them in the present church, with the modern
inscription "John of Houston, Lord of that Ilk . . . . and Agnes Campbell His Spouse, who died Anno 1456." An old inscription connected with the
family, also at Houston church, refers to Anna Hamilton and Patrick Houston, of the sixteenth century, which evidently does not apply to these figures.
