A noble was about 6s. 8d. Colts at about 9s. each and hogs at ls. 4d. each well illustrate the diminished purchasing power of money since the date of this will. The spelling of William was phonetic, and to this date the lower classes pronounce this name very much as it spelt here. The testator was an early member of a Campden family that became better known some 60 years later.

To the Memory of
WILLIAM BRADFORD, late Writing Master of the Free School. In this Town, which Office he discharged with strict Vigilance and Diligence for upwards of Thirty Years. He was eminent for Figures and Erudition; and departed this Life with Christian Patience and Resignation, with a steady reliance on his Redeemer, in hopes of a blessed Immortality, April ye 11th, 1771, aged 67 years. On 26th March, 1761, Bradford, as a widower, married, at Campden, Mary Hows, widow, of this parish.

William Bradway, dated 6th June, and proved 1st July 1488 (Canterbury Will, 15 Milles):
To be buried in the Parish Church.
To the high altar there 6s. 8d.
To the Bylding of the nave and body of the church 100 marks.
To the said church a cheseble of white damask, with all the apparell thereto belonging for a priest to sing masse.
To the chapel of Brode Campden and 20 parish churches in the diocese, the same.
To the priest of Campden Church, to remember his soul, 6s. 8d.
To an honest priest £8 per annum. with brede and wyne, for 15 years, to sing masses for testator's soul and his sons' souls, etc.
To Margaret, his wife. William, his son by his first wife: Agnew and Denise, daughters; to his son's wife; Richard Yorke, his son. legacies; and 15s per annum to his mother Agnes.
His goods, cattle, etc., with house and land (This must have been leasehold, for at this time freehold could not be devised in this way) at Campden, to his wife and sons John and William, and they residuary legatees. John, with four others were to be executors, and the sons of the latter four were to be overseers.
Bradway was evidently a pious and comparatively wealthy man. The reference to an "honest Priest" is naive. Presumably some who benefited under testamentary dspositions shirked their duties.
Sir John Banyfaunt. of Camden, clerk, dated 1st April. and proved October. 1520 (Canterbury Will, F 29 Ayloffe), takyng my journey to divers places, many beyond the sea"
To William, his brother, his purchased lands after the death of his father and mother, William and Elizabeth.
As the will was proved so quickly after date, it is evident that Bonyfaunt did not get very far on his journeys. It must not be imagined from his prefix that he was a knight. for it was customary at this time to give a parson, chaplain, etc., the title of "sir."

Christopher Bucher, als. Basone dated 27th Sept., 1575, and proved at Gloucester 19th July, 1576:
To Margaret, his wife, certain specified furniture, etc. To said Margaret and Thomas, his son, the yardland in the "fyld" and the close in "Shipstret" Lane. To said Thomas the horse pasture, he to pay 1/2 year's rent due at Mickaelmas, and from that time wife and son to pay the rent equally. Wife Margaret to continue in house while a widow. To his other three sons, Giles. Richard and Christopher, 3 heifers and 3 pairs of sheets. Thomas, his son, residuary legatee and executor.
