William Cleaver. Lithograph by J.S. Templeton.

Standing, with on left a scroll containing a farewell address from his parishoners at Delgany.

"Mr. Cleaver, was rector of Delgany in the county of Wicklow. Mr. Cleaver was a dignified, stately clergyman of the Evangelical school. Froude had been taught by his brother at home, and by his friends at Oxford, to despise Evangelicals as silly, ignorant, ridiculous persons. He saw in Mr. Cleaver the perfect type of a Christian gentleman, cultivated, pious, and well bred. Mrs. Cleaver was worthy of her husband. They were both models of practical Christianity. They and their circle held all the opinions about Catholicism and the Reformation which Newman and the Anglo-Catholics denounced" -- Paul's Life of J. A. Froude. Froude was tutor to Cleaver's sons in 1840

Presumably son of William Cleaver (1742-1815), bishop of St Asaph
