While Prebendary of Chiswick in St.Paul’s Cathedral, by indenture dated 29 Jun 1570, he leased the manor house of Chiswick to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster as a place for the master and scholars and some of the chapter to retire to in case of pestilence or sickness. The lease was renewed from time to time, and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, when they took over the estates of the Prebendaries of St.Paul’s, purchased the interest of the Dean and Chapter in the property. The purchase money was known as the Chiswick Fund, and subsequently reached the sum of £1160 Consols, the interest of which was used to pay for the medical attendance and care of the King’s Scholars. Dr Goodman endeavoured more than once to procure the royal assent to the statutes drawn up by Dr.Bill. He also tried to obtain the right for the School to the annual election of three scholars to Trinity College, Cambridge, instead of two every year and three every third year, an alteration which Dr.Whitgift when Master of Trinity obtained leave to make.
The endowment is now held in the School’s Chiswick Fund, under a governing document of 1864 (amended by scheme of 8 Nov.1965).
