John Souch is known principally for his large and impressively sombre memento mori painting in the Manchester City Art Gallery representing Sir Thomas Aston at the deathbed of his wife, painted in 1635 and signed 'Jo: Souch Cestrens fecit' (Figs.9 and 2). When C.H. Collins Baker published the picture in 1928,' all that was known about the artist was that he had been apprenticed to Randle Holme, the Chester herald painter.2 Collins Baker knew of no other work by Souch and wrote that 'it remains for Cheshire students to reconstruct his oeuvre'.
