Within a few months Willis fell foul of the attorney-general, J. Robinson, a very experienced official, and took the most unusual course of stating in court that Robinson had neglected his duty and that he would feel it necessary "to make a representation on the subject to his majesty's government".
Willis then offered his resignation, but this was not accepted and his commission was revoked.
Willis was an able man vain about his knowledge of the law, and a stickler for its dignities.

 National Libertarian Party
The only criminal action that actually injured the Party was committed not by Browne or Willis, but rather by one of their most vocal opponents.
The “P” transaction request was made by Perry Willis and backed up by the EC, which would allow the processing of Harry Browne campaign donations against the membership database thereby advancing all membership expiration dates one year or reinstating memberships that had expired for all those donors who had membership signatures on file.
I contributed to the Browne Campaign of both 1996 and 2000, but had I known that most of the officals of the campaign were charging big time fees against the donations I might not have been so ready to support Browne.

In 1753 William Stukeley, the famous Lincolnshire antiquarian, visited the site and observed: "Tis now a pasture, but the rubbish of the sacred structure has covered up the pavement of the church which they are now digging for the sake of the stones".

Of the Abbey buildings Browne Willis, in the early eighteenth century, tells us something.
After saying that the church has gone, he continues, "The kitchen, which was left standing of late years, though now raised to the foundation, was a large square room, open to the roof, which was composed of elegant workmanship.

 Monkton Rectorial Benefice - Stackpole Church
It may well have been originally dedicated just to St James, and an indication of this possibility is that as late as 1733 Browne Willis in his Parochiale Anglicanum names St James as the sole patron of the Church of Stackpole Elidor.
It appears that by 1851 the state of the fabric of the Church made a complete restoration essential, although the building had been carefully maintained until only a few years before.
Here I cannot forbear mentioning the generous beneficence of that worthy gentleman, John Campbell Esquire, to the parishes of St. Petrook, Cheriton or Stackpool Elidur and Bosherston on his first coming to the possession of his estate, being about the age of twenty.

They were not worn by water, but by the constant traffic of man and horse, probably for a period as long as that which separates us from the Norman Conquest.
There are many points of interest in the survey, especially in connection with the waterways in the great moors beyond North Wootton, to which I may possibly recur at some future time.
No dedication is given by Browne Willis in 1733, but in the enlarged 'Ecton' it is assigned to the Holy Trinity.

The library is now in a very flourishing condition; which it is likely to preserve and improve, under the management of the present vigilant and learned librarian.
The painting is on cloth, which, being of an ash-colour, serves for the medium: the lines and shades are done with a brown crayon, and the lights and heightening with a white one.
These dry colours being pressed with hot irons, which produced an exsudation from the cloth, are so incorporated into its texture and substance, that they are proof against a brush, or even the harshest touch.

Whaddon was consequently purchased in 1698 by James Selby of Wavendon Manor and Thomas Willis and the agreement awarded 2/3rds.

 Welcome to St Martin, Fenny Stratford
Martins Church is situated at the corner of Watling Street and Aylesbury Street and serves the parish containing Fenny Stratford, Granby and Central Bletchley east of the main railway line.
Work on the present church began in 1724 at the behest of Browne Willis a prominent local High Churchman and Philanthropist as a memorial and testament to his grandfather Thomas Willis an eminent physician of his day.
It was purposely built on the same site as an earlier chapel dedicated to St. Margaret and St. Catherine, which was sadly destroyed at the time of the English Reformation.

On St Martin's Day 1724 the first stone was laid of the new parish church of Fenny Stratford, marking a fresh start in the town's history.
Browne Willis, a historian of the day, raised the funds for the reconstruction and apparently chose St Martin's Day because his grandfather had died on St Martin's Day, in St Martin's Lane in the town.
The church therefore became dedicated to St Martin.
