In his will (dated Jan 1, 1526/27, proved Feb 1, 1526/27) he asked to be buried at the feet of his father in the aisle of St. Clement's . He refers to his "mother-in-Law Johane Eps," the term meaning at that time "step-mother."
John is believed to have ordered the brass for the grave of his father and mother shortly before his own death less than a month later.
At the visitation of the Heralds during the years 1619-1621, the arms of John were described in the pedigree given for the GODFREY family of the adjoining parish of Lydd. These were later confirmed to Allen EPES (his great-grandson) by William Segar, Garter King of Arms (1603-33).
Like his father, John made bequests to the High Altars of St. Martin's and of St. Lawrence's in New Romney.
The will of Alice (dated Feb 2, 1526 /27, proved June 3, 1527) was undoubtedly written immediately after her husband's death. She, herself, died four months later.
