James Menteath

[6] Sanderson Miller of Radway in Warwickshire cultivated a number of clerical friends with Oxford educations, including Richard Jago and William Talbot of Kineton, as well as Menteath.

[7] A statue of Caractacus by James Lovell was commissioned by Lord North as a gift to Miller, for his tower on Edge Hill; it was modelled from Menteath.

[10] The Memoir states that Menteath was promised the Barrowby living from 1745, by Sackville Tufton, 7th Earl of Thanet and his wife; the incumbent was Thomas Wood, who held it from 1732 to 1759.

[13][14] On his moving north in 1785, Adam Smith wrote to Menteath describing him as his oldest friend, outside his extended family.

Their son Charles Granville Stuart Menteath of Closeburn and Mansfield, born 12 May 1769, was created Baronet on 11 August 1838, and died 3 December 1847.
