He was made a baronet shortly before his death in 1669. In his will he left money for the establishment of a grammar school in Brigg for boys from the town and certain other villages.
The family seat is still Scawby Hall, near Brigg. The Nelthorpe family and the Nelthorpe Foundation continue to support the School. |
