Bichard Lydiat's knell,' and 6s. 8d. ' for breaking the ground in the church ' for his grave. At his death Harry succeeded Harry. For Francis Lydiat, the second of three sons who all, in virtue of their kinship to the founder, had been scholars of Winchester and fellows of New College, took over his father's office. Francis Lydiat was baptized in St. Mary's, Warwick, on 30th April 1709, and admitted to St Mary's, Winchester, in 1724, at the age of 15, which was too late for any one but founder'...s kin. He must have been a clever boy, or well prepared by his father, as after only half a year he got into ' Sixth Book,' and next year was second in the school, and * got off' to New College in 1726. There he stayed till he became headmaster of Warwick on his father's death. He remained a fellow of New College all his life, never apparently having married. From 1743 he was also, on the corporation's appointment, vicar of Bud- brooke. In 1735 the Attorney-General brought an Information in Chancery, at the relation of Joseph Brooks and John Phelps, on behalf of themselves and the rest of the inhabitants of Warwick, complaining of the administration of the property granted both by Philip and Mary and also by Henry vin., and especially that while the income of Henry vui.'s charity had for a considerable time amounted to over £700 a year, the corporation had never increased the stipends of the vicar and schoolmaster, though they had increased the mayor's salary from X20 to £60, but had wasted the money on themselves and their minor officers and ' in building magnificent build- ings.' The defendants answered that they had increased the mayor's salary ' in consideration of his making a treat on being sworn,' which was necessary 'to support the dignity of his 152 HISTORY OF WARWICK SCHOOL office/ and that they did not know whether the decree in Charles il's reign ' intended the other stipends to be increased'; that the new schoolhonse costing £2030 was beneficial, and that taking fines or * aforehand rents ' on leases was also bene- ficial.
