Уильям Адамс (1585–1661) — лондонский галантерейщик XVII века, родившийся в Ньюпорте, Шропшир, который в 1656 году основал Adams' Grammar School, ныне известную как Haberdashers' Adams School. После его смерти в 1661 году школой управляет Почтенная компания галантерейщиков. Помимо школы, Уильям Адамс основал благотворительный фонд William Adams’ Eleemosynary Charity, который построил дома престарелых на главной улице Ньюпорта, по обе стороны от первоначальных ворот школы и на земле, прилегающей к школе. Таблицы, представляющие завещание Уильяма Адамса, висят в здании «Большой школы» гимназии Haberdashers' Adams, а копирование этих текстов (известное как «Завещание Билла») было распространенным наказанием за незначительные проступки вплоть до конца XX века. Текст этих таблиц гласит следующее:

William Adams (15851661) was a 17th century London haberdasher born in Newport, Shropshire who, in 1656, founded Adams' Grammar School, now called Haberdashers' Adams School. Since his death in 1661, the school has been governed by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. In addition to the school, William Adams founded William Adams’ Eleemosynary Charity which built the almshouse cottages on the high street in Newport, on either side of the original school gates and on property surrounded by the school. Tables representing the Will of William Adams hang in the 'Big School' building of Haberdashers' Adams Grammar School, and the copying of these texts (known as Bill's Will) was a common punishment for minor misdemeanours up until the end of the twentieth century.
