"George Clarke by will dated 8th October 1556, gave £2 10s. for the poor of this parish, and also other sums for the parishes of Sandridge and Stevenage in this county."

"There are three brasses near the Rood Loft stairway; the upper is part of a scroll which may be related to the priest's brass in the Chancel. George Clarke mentioned in the middle of the brass took the farm on the Walkern Road by force in 152l while the owner, John Norreys, was in France. Both this brass, and that of his grandson below, were on the Nave floor until 1889."

"In his 1556 will, George Clarke the elder of Bennington, Herts. left the tithes of grain he had bought from Henry VIII to his son William and his heirs, under condition that every year at Christmas--in perpetuity--they make specified distribtuions of money and cloth to the poor of three nearby communities. Each of the grants was to be handled by the vicar, churchwardens, and two or three of 'the honest men' of the relevant parishes."
