He was buried in St. Andrew's Chapel (the "Cannons' Vestry") in Exeter Cathedral, as was also his widow Alice. His will took some time to settle. Some 20 years later, it was challenged in the House of Commons by his great niece Joane Hele (the granddaughter of Elize's brother Nicholas Hele, wife of Captain Edmond Lister) who petitioned the court to allow funds from the will to be redirected to her. Hele's executor, Sir John Maynard, was neutral to the outcome and Sir Edward Rhodes ruled that funds should be given to Joane but that the charitable causes should not be abandoned.In 1649 John Maynard and Elize Stert, as surviving trustees, granted the lands and profits of the estate to be enjoyed by the governors, assistants and wardens of the Hospital of the Poors Portion, Plymouth, for the education of poor children. They also bought in 1656, on behalf of the Hele Charity trust, an estate at Lower Creeson, Mary Tavy. Money was to be used to build a schoolhouse at Plympton St Maurice and to buy lands at Brixton to support the preaching minister.In 1656 his trustees apportioned money for the founding of the Blue Maid's Hospital (later renamed "The Maynard School") and in 1658 for the establishing of Hele's School in PlymptonAn indenture of 17–18 December 1658 between the Hele Charity trustees and the City of Exeter and governors of St John's Foundlings Hospital, Exeter, granted the profits of the manors of Clyst St Lawrence, Clyst St Gerrard and Teignharvey, as well as of Torre House, Newton Ferrers, to the Hospital, for the maintenance of the poor children. The trustees received the remaining income from the bequest and distributed it to charities as they decided for the next 200 years Legal proceedings resulted in depriving the descendant of Sir J. Maynard, who was the surviving trustee, of all control over the funds, which were thereupon vested in the Crown.books.google.co.uk/books?id=qGhLAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA23&... - Church of St Peter, Paul & Thomas of Canterbury, Bovey Tracey, DevonPicture with thanks - copyright Lobsterthermidor CCL commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monument_ElizeHele_BoveyT... |
