Bartholomew Finch senior died at the age of 59 on 2 July 1668 and was buried in New College cloisters. Anthony Wood wrote as follows :
In the north cloister are certaine white stones laid over the graves of servant buried there, viz. … for Barthelmew Finch, Master of the Society of Cookes in Oxon, and cook of this college, who died 2 July 1668, aet. 59. His epitaph is in Latine and put at the charges of Elizabeth his wife. It layes at the feet of Mathew Finch, his nephew, whose epitaph is printed in "Hist. et Antiq. Univ. Oxon".
Neare the monument of Barthelmew Finch, is a large marble of a diamond square containing this:—
"Francis Finch, late barber of this college, died 5 Novemb. an. 1680, aged 41."
Bartholomew Finch was a cook at New College, Oxford and "Master of the Society of the Cooks of the University of Oxon". In 1647 he was living at 46 Broad Street, Oxford ), which was demolished to make way for the New Bodleian Library. He was probably still living in this house in 1665, when he paid tax on eight hearths in the parish of St Mary Magdalen. His brother William (died 1694) and was also a New College cook.
He and his wife Elizabeth had at least three sons:
William Finch
Bartholomew Finch junior
Francis Finch (born c.1638), who was apprenticed to the barber William Flexney on 1 August 1656, and became the New College barber
It appears that Bartholomew Finch senior may have also run an eating or drinking establishment at this building, as Anthony Wood records paying a number of visits to "Bat Finch's" premises with his friends. He was also a friend of the family: he, wrote on 3 August 1666 about the baptism at Merton College Chapel of Anne Wood, daughter of his brother Robert, and said that one of her three sponsors was Edith Finch, the wife of Bartholomew Finch, cook, of St Mary Magdalen parish. (It seems unlikely that he would have made mistake with the name of Finch's wife Elizabeth, so he may be referring to Bartholomew Finch junior, who because of his age would have been a more suitable sponsor.)
In 1667 a Bartholomew Finch paid poll tax in Holywell parish, but again this could have been his son. By 1689 Bartholomew Finch senior certainly had a house next to Kettell Hall in St Mary Magdalen parish (probably the larger one in the group now belonging to Trinity College).
His will of 1 June 1668 was proved in the Chancellor's Court of the University of Oxford. The house in Broad Street passed first to his wife Elizabeth.
His son Bartholomew Finch junior was buried at St Cross (Holywell) Church on 20 June 1675, just seven years after his father.
Following the death of Bartholomew Finch senior's wife, the house in Broad Street passed to his son Francis. He died on 5 November 1680 at the age of 41, according to Wood as he continued to describe the white stones laid over servants' graves in the north cloister of New College
