'I Francis Wyman of the Parish of Westmill in the county of Hertford, husbandman, 15 September 1658. I do give and bequeath unto Jane my wife the full sum of ten shillings of lawful English money to be paid unto her by mine executor presently after my burial.

Francis failed to pay his tithe for a number of years and so irritated the vicar that he lost patience with Francis and took him to court. The record appears in the tithe book: '1640 Francis Wyman payed 15 April 1640 17/5d at the Court at Hitchin for ye Calves valued at 8s ye Calfe, for eleven years last past viz for ye years 1623, 1624, 1625, 1626, 1627, 1628, 1629, 1630, 1631, 1632, 1633, the sum of 17s5d by the hand of Mr. Dawson Curate to Dr. Ward of Much Munden for which there is an Act in Court unto me Richard Taylor parson of Westmill which Calves were fallen in St. Croft.
