Note
William Spalding of Great Barton, Suffolk, gave £60, the legacy of his brother William Spalding of Tamworth, who bequeathed him the messuage of Lumpkins in Bury St. Edmunds to endow a scholarship for a student of Bury Grammar School, in such Cambridge College as Sir Robert Jermyn should nominate. William of Great Barton added £20 to the £60 already provided.
The College awarded the first scholarship to John Spalding, late scholar of Bury (admitted 7 Nov. 1600), and granted him the nomination of his successor(s) for his lifetime. Letters both from Spalding and Sir Robert Jermyn in 1619 nominated either William Rushbrook or Daniel Peak, and Peak was elected in 1619 and Rushbrook in 1622.
In 1858 a statute replaced the scholarship and the Symonds exhibition by one exhibition, called the Spalding and Symonds Exhibition, limited to the scholars of Bury St. Edmunds Grammar School
