Biographical Details
The town hall at South Molton, Devon, erected between 1740 and 1741 to the plans of a Mr Cullen, incorporates various fragments from the recently demolished Stowe at Kilkhampton, including four Corinthian capitals and pilasters, the ‘ornaments of three windows’, a ‘carved architrave’, a picture of The Triumph of King Charles II and a ton of lead (South Molton Town Archives, cited by Gunnis 1968, 60). Bradshaw was responsible for the rest of the carved stonework.
