Three weeks before his death at the age of 83,  the Rector signed his Will.  He made bequests that would benefit generations of Bedworth people. Even before he died he had placed a Contract to build Almshouses where the Health Centre now stands, and instructed that rents and profits of his estate in Bedworth were to be used to build two Schools. One would be for boys and one for girls with finance to support a Schoolmaster and a Schoolmistress. This is the legacy on which the two Charities have been built.

The Crest translation is (Nothing stands in the way of Virtue.)
