ENGLISHMAN THOMAS PARR LIVED 153 YEARS
Thomas Parr (1483 (reputedly)  1635) was an Englishman who was said to have lived
for 152 years. He is often referred to simply as Old Parr or Old Tom Parr.
A portrait of Parr hangs at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery, with an inscription
which reads "Thomas Parr died at the age of 152 yeares 9 months" "The old old very
old man or Thos Parr son of John Parr of Winington in the Parish of Alberbury who
was borne in the year 1483 in Rayne of King Edward IV being 152 yeares old in the
year 1635". The portrait was once in the collection of the Leighton family of Loton
Park, which is in Parr's home parish of Alberbury.
