One notable example is in the gift of "10 marks sterling, his English book bound with two latitudinibus and all his instruments of surgery" which Morstede left to his apprentice, Robert Bryttende.

[4] By 1413 Morstede was appointed Searcher of the Vessels and was responsible for collecting Henry V's dues from ships travelling on the Thames.

Thomas Morstede and William Bradwardyne were also asked to "raise, equip and lead" a company of surgeons during the Agincourt Campaign of 1415.

A manuscript titled A Fair Book of Surgery,[2] which has been dated to 1446, making it one of the earliest surgical works written in English,[1] has been attributed to Morstede.

[8] In the manuscript, Morstede states that surgeons should be skilled in both the theory and practice of surgery, and should conduct themselves graciously and show mercy to the poor.

Lang has questioned Morstede's authorship of the manuscript, as it has direct parallels with John Bradmore's Philomena.
