Hyde died in his eightieth year, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral on 5 Jan. 1642.104 In his will, dated 13 July 1637 and revised in the weeks before his death, he declared himself ‘a miserable sinful man’, and made charitable bequests totalling £200, half of which was to be used for interest-free loans to Salisbury apprentices. He also left instructions that his children’s portions should not be lent out as usury. Besides his estates in Wiltshire, he owned an inn in Kent, a plantation in the Somers Island (Bermuda), and shares in the New River and East India companies.105 He was succeeded by his eldest son, Lawrence II*. Of his younger children, Alexander and Edward had distinguished careers in the Church, and Robert† became a judge.
