John Mede was made an acolyte in 1453 and in January 1457/8 Thomas
Bekynton, the bishop of Bath and Wells, issued letters dimissory, entitling
to ordination to all holy orders for John Mede of the parish of
Redcliffe, Bristol, B.A., acolyte. John Mede M.A. became the vicar of
Wraxall in 1467, witnessed by his father and brother, Philip Mede,
merchant of Bristol, and Richard Mede, literate. Master John Mede, vicar
of Wraxall, was a witness to Philip Mede''s will written in 1471. At his death in 1494 John Mede was the Prior of St John the Baptist, Bristol.
John Mede could be the son of Philip Mede, anyway they were closely related.
But John Smyth in Lives of the Berkeleys says that Philip had just one son, Richard.
