Barkham gave 60 printed books and 1 manuscript to the Bodleian Library in 1602; he also gave books to Corpus Christi. His will makes no mention of books, but notes that much of his estate had already been settled on his son George by a separate deed of gift. He had a collection of coins, including ancient Greek and modern ones, which he disposed of between Archbishop Laud (who gave them to the Bodleian), and Corpus Christi. Examples: Bodleian 4to.C.95.Art, 8vo.G.8.Th, Auct.I.Q.6.13; Corpus Christi, Oxford Φ.B.6.1.
