Browne Willis writes thus, in a letter to bishop Kennet, dated March 18, 1719: "I hope I have found out the death of John Trevaur, the repudiated bishop of St. Asaph. There is in the Infirmary Chapel of St. Victor's Abbey at Paris this inscription on a tomb, in memory, as I conceive, of him, for it could be no other bishop of the name of John, particularly Hereford the last bishop of Hereford having been dead six or seven years before, as appears by the date and probate of his will, and buried sumptuously in his own cathedral of Hereford. This must relate to John Trevaur bishop of St. Asaph, who, as I remember, went to Paris in behalf of Owen Glendour, to solicit forces of the French king, and so might lodge privately in an abbey, and there fall sick and be buried. 'Hie jacet reverend, in Christo pater Johannes Episcopus Hereford in Wallia, qui obiit An. Dni. 1410 die Veneris 10omensis Aprilis, cujus anima feliciter requiescat in pace. Amen.'"
