He died 23 November 1246, having increased the revenues of his abbey by the addition of the churches of Ocham, Aschewell, and Strengesham, the manor of Thorpe, the castle of Morton Folet, the village of New Morton, Gloucestershire, and one half the manors of Longdon, Worcestershire and Chadesley, in Worcestershire.
This period offered a number of new shows, including the Terry Longdon and Rowetta drivetime show.
He appears to have been born at Longdon Staffordshire in 1731 or 1732 and moved to Lenton in 1750, where he was married and where all his children were baptized.
