WESTON CHARITY 97 



lected and an armorial window to his memory was put up 

 in Buriton Church. Under the Goodyer arms is the in- 

 scription 'To the Glory of God and in Memory of John 

 Goodyer of Alton, Mapledurham, Petersfield, 1 592-1664, 

 Royalist, Botanist, Founder of Goodyer Charity, Weston '. 

 A water-colour drawing of the window by Mrs. Davis has 

 been hung near his books in the Magdalen Library. 



The property which he left for the benefit of the poor of 

 Weston, has already been described in his will. The way 

 in which his Trustees set out to administer the Trust is 

 shown in their first Account Book which we had the 

 pleasure of consulting through the kindness of Mr. Burley, 

 the solicitor to the Trust. The first entries of receipts and 

 payments give some idea of the initial value of the legacy.
