Legacy
In 1934, money was raised to erect a memorial tablet to Dr. Pringuer's memory. The tablet costing £30 was made of Hopton Wood stone with a blue glass mosaic border, and reads "Remember Henry Thomas Pringuer Mus.Doc.Oxon. F.R.C.O. 23 Feb.1852-26 Oct.1930 Organist and Master of the Choir in this Church at the age of 14 afterwards at St. Matthew's Church Redhill and for 40 years at St. Mary's Parish Church Stoke Newington His great gifts were devoted to the service of GOD in His Church "unto death" M.S.P. 3 Sep 1934".

After Dr. Pringuer's death, Mildred moved to live with her sister at East Hendred, Oxfordshire. Their old house at Priory Cottage in Lindfield was recently advertised for sale at a staggering £415,000!
