    Record title: Will of William Calley of Andover
    Repository: HRO
    Shelfmark: WILLS B 1558/105
    Repository location: Winchester

    The beginning of the will identifies William Calley as a gentleman of Hatherden in Andover parish. He was apparently unmarried and without children, as a small bequest went to his mother and his main heir, his brother Thomas, was directed to settle William's debt to his brother Rafe of forty marks. The inventory taken on 9 February totaled only £7 6s and does not mention either the lute or the gittern although it does include the gelding.

    1558; English; paper; single sheet; 410mm x 305mm; unnumbered; no endorsements; in good condition.
