History of Parliament Onlne:
...He had made his will on 1 Sept. 1515, asking for burial in the chapel which he had prepared in his parish church of St. Bartholomew the Less in London and making generous bequests to the poor. Five years earlier he had set up a use, in favour of himself, his wife and their son, covering his London house, two manors in Middlesex, five in Essex, six in Norfolk and single manors in Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Suffolk; the feoffees were headed by the archbishop of Canterbury and included seven peers and many eminent lawyers. In his will Capell confirmed this settlement and divided his remaining lands, seven widely scattered manors and the reversion to two others, between his son and two grandsons. He died five days after making the will, which was proved six months later by the executors, his wife and son-in-law William Paulet. The manors of Rayne, Essex, bought by Capell in 1486 and settled on his son in 1512, and Little Hadham, Hertfordshire, bought in 1506, remained the family residences throughout the 16th century. His grandson Sir Henry Capell sat for Somerset in the Parliament of 1547.
