    • "... he had retired to the seclusion of Roydon, there to spend the remainder of his life. Nevertheless, he attended the Bench regularly, and it was while riding through Malling Wood on his way to Petty Sessions on June 27th, 1672, that he fell from his horse in an apoplectic fit and died, in the seventy-fifth year of his age."
