Elize Hele or Elizeus Hele (1560-1635) of Fardell was a lawyer and philanthropist. In 1632, Hele transferred his lands into a trust that was intended for "pious uses". The trustees included his wife, John Hele and a number of trusted friends. The trust was used to create a number of schools in Devon including Hele's School at Exeter. He is buried in Exeter, his son Walter was buried in Bovey Tracey where there is an elaborate monument in the parish church to Elize.
