        Major benefactor of the College. In 1722 he left £1,000 for three closed scholarships for boys from Halifax, Leeds, or Heversham in Westmoreland. His sister-in-law had a life interest in the capital, and so the College did not benefit from the benefaction until 1736 when she died, having herself augmented the original bequest so as to provide four scholarships.
