Rutlish was a resident of the parish of Merton and is buried in the churchyard of the parish church of St. Mary.
Rutlish died in 1687 and left a bequest of 400 pounds (about £38,000 in 2006) for the education of poor children of the parish.
Unusually, Rutlish pupils did not, as a matter of course, wear the school badge or their uniforms, instead house membership was identified by a multi-coloured "house braid" which was affixed to the top edges of blazer pockets.
