William died at [[Bishop's Waltham]] in Hampshire on 27 September 1404 and was buried in his [[chantry]] chapel on the south side of the nave in Winchester Cathedral.  At the time of his death, he was one of the richest men in England.  Much of his wealth went into the schools he patronised, but he also contrived to leave a fortune to a nephew, whose descendants include the [[Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes family]] and the [[Spixworth Park|Longe family]].

William's motto was 'Manners makyth man'.<ref name="Winchester College, Arms">{{cite web | url = http://www.winchestercollege.org/arms | title = Winchester College, Arms | access-date = 22 November 2010 | work = Winchester College website}}</ref> This, along with a [[coat of arms]], was assumed by him and not acquired by descent. His biography was written by [[Robert Lowth|Bishop Lowth]]. He was also written about by Lord Brougham in his 'Old England's Worthies' (1857) and by [[Froissart]]. 'Manners Makyth Man' is also the motto of the establishments Wykeham founded, [[Winchester College]] and [[New College, Oxford]].<ref name="Winchester College, Arms"/>
