Hugh Price (lawyer)

Hugh Price (c. 1495 – 1574) was a Welsh lawyer and Anglican clergyman who was instrumental in the founding of Jesus College, Oxford.

However, he does not seem to have spent much time in either of these locations, retaining a house in Brecon where he was recorded as bailiff in 1572.

In 1571 Price petitioned Elizabeth I to formally establish Jesus College, Oxford.

Price provided some funds for work on the college's construction, though only part of one quadrangle was completed in his lifetime.

A small portrait of Price hangs behind High Table in the hall of Jesus College, and is attributed to the school of Hans Holbein the Younger.
