Note

Matthew Hewitt bequeathed 1668(?) £50 per annum for 4 exhibitions, to be awarded by preference to scholars of the school which he founded at Threshfield, with further preference to 1) those of his nearest kin, 2) those of his name, 3) those of the parish of Linton, 4) from the county of York. Exhibitioners to be chosen by the founder’s nephew, Richard Hewitt, and his heirs, and by the College. The endowment was drawn from the rents of messuages, farms and cottages at Burstall and Gomersall, Yorkshire.
The first exhibitioners recorded were elected 5 Nov 1677, at the nomination of Hewitt’s executor (Register of Scholars, p.656), the last under the original foundation in 1857, the tenure continuing until 1863. After 1860 the College used the rents to support exhibitioners elected under the new statutes.
