He rebuilt the vestry-house of the Church of St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange and in 1613 presented the church with a magnificent green velvet suit of hangings, and cushion for the pulpit, which was fringed, and ornamented with gold and silver embroidery and fringe, including the letters IHS, [3] which later in 1643 were removed, having been deemed "popish letters". [4] He paid for a screen at the west end of the church. [5]
