Devon from around 1584, Cornwall from about 1591; Sheriff of Cornwall 1605-1606 Biography Considering his status. Prideaux's Parliamentary career was negligible . He represented one Cornish borough as a young man of about 21 and made no contribution as far as known to the proceedings of the House and never sat again. At the dissolution of the monastries his great-uncle Nicholas had bought considerable property belonging to Bodmin priory including the manor of Padstow, which he later assigned to Roger Prideaux upon whose death it passed with the Devon manors of Holsworthy, Chesworthy and the family seat at Soldon, to Prideaux himself. In 1600 Prideaux settled Soldon on his son Humphtey at the latter's marriage to Honor, daughter of Edmund Fortescue and moved to Padstow, where he had already rebuilt the old house of the maonastry known as Prideaux Place or Place House about 1602 Richard Carew wrote "Mr Nicholas Prideaux from his new and stately house hereby taketh a full and large prospects of the town. haven and country adjoining, to all which his wisdom is a stay, his authoritory a direction." Prideaux's second marriage brought him the manor of Treworder in Cornwall, where he kept up another establishment. Only a Devon inquisition survives for him : it describes Soldon as held of the Queen as of her Duchy of Lancaster, For some years before his death in 1628 he administered the Soldon property for his grandson, Nicholas, Humphrey Prideaux having died of smallpox about 1617.

St Breock was the paternal home of his second wife's family, and one of her sisters married an Arundell of Lanherne. Prideaux parents, however were protestants, and his will suggests that he shared their views. His name was removed from a commission of the peacein 1587, but soon restored in October 1591 he was one of those who provided ships and victuals for troops going to Ireland from Cornwall and between October 1598 and February 1599 the Council wrote to him several times about soldiers for Ireland in the following May he senbt a letter to London about a threatened Spanish invasion. He was knighted at the end of his year as sheriff, and continued writing letters on official business as late as 1623. He died 25 January 1628 at West Putford in Devon: there is an inscription to him at Padstow. His will was proved 24 May 1628. He left £50 and the goods at Padstow to his surviving son John and £250 to his grandchildren. The residue went to the widow, the sole executrix Ref Volumes: 1558-1603 Author N. M.
