He left £20 to Agnes Wildbore (this was probably his niece Anne) and £10 to Barbara Wildbore, daughter of Jeremy. Richard left his home tenement and lands at Minster to Denise, wife of John Peele, with reversion to Denise's sons William and John Peele. He left lands at Brooke, Minster, to Mary, wife of John Jancock [?Hancock]. The will was proved at the Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury on 12 December 1604.
