    A William Glover 'the elder,' also identified as a musician, leased two tenements in Charlton, near Andover, for forty years from Winchester College in 1593 (Himsworth, Winchester College Muniments, vol 2, pt 1, p 89). The William Glover who died in 1638 may be the same William Glover, but the forty-five-year gap between the two records suggests that this inventory may be for William Glover the younger, who had learned his trade as a musician from his father. William Glover, musician of Andover, gave the college his bond to respect the conditions of his tenancy in 1610, and that bond may represent the son's taking over the tenancy from his identically named father.
