A BRIEF HISTORY of the Rev. JOHN RUSSELL
The year was 1883, the month was April and the churchyard of the parish church at Swymbridge in North Devon was packed with more than a thousand people. Inside the church were members of the great country families, the Mayor, the Town Clerk of Barnstaple, representatives of the Freemasons of the North Devon infirmary and twenty-nine clergymen.
They had come to say their last farewells to a man who was loved and respected throughout the West Country. He was no great country magnate, but a simple country clergyman who had worked among them for more than fifty years.
His name was JOHN RUSSELL.
Dec. 21, 1795 to Apr. 1883
Although John Russell was - according to his lights - a good parish priest, it was not because of his ministry that he was known so far and wide; it was because of his skill and endurance in the hunting field and because he was the protangonist of the type of working terrier which bears his name to this day.
Because the diminutive of John is Jack, John was later know as old "Jack Russell".
Hence the name, Parson's Jack Russell Terrier.
Not many pictures were taken of John Russell.
