From his will, it can be surmised that:

  • He was a master weaver
  • He was wealthy enough to have a man servant
  • He was (as van Kempen calls it) a "dandy"

He wrote a will in November 1577 which was probated 24 April 1578. (A near-complete transcription of it can be found in van Kempen, p 22-23.) In it, he:

  • requests to be buried in the church of Kidderminster
  • bequeaths to his wife Kathren, his son Humfrey; to Ales the unmarried daughter (and under 21) of Raufe Clarke; to Elyzabeth the unmarried daughter of Rauf Clarke; to Thomas Nycolls my brother-in-law; to Rauf Clarke and Anne his wife
  • ordains his son Humfrey as executor
  • appoints as overseers "my brother John Dollytell, Raufe Clarke, Thomas Nycolls of Hurcott and Humfrey Dolytell of the How.

His inventory was taken 10 Dec 1577.
