Hello
It looks like you are in luck sort of
Here are the Wills for Tomkins of Tysoe at Worcester

Tomkins Marian  widow 14 May 1639 Will and Inventory Worcestershire Probate Index 1600-1858
Tysoe, Worcestershire, England
Tomkins  William 21 May 1637  yeoman Tysoe Will and Inventory Worcestershire Probate Index 1600-1858

Tompkins Nicholas yeoman  18th June 1645 Admin and Inventory Worcestershire Probate Index 1600-1858

I'm guessing William and Marian are his parents.

As to getting a copy ,their website is hopeless .
You can e mail them  but I would phone them 01905 822866
It looks like they do do a service with the first image costing £10 and then £5 for each 3 additional images.
So you might be better going yourself and printing directly from the microfilm on site which is a lot cheaper or hiring someone to go .

If you want to email
capublic.worcestershire.gov.uk/WAASPublic/EnquiryForm.aspx?ServiceCode=ARCHENQ&_ga=2.103452165.428305042.1494583603-898153893.1481986369

See what you think

Thank you Ciderdrinker. William is his father; and Maryan was Clarke then Mrs. Claridge, his step mother.

Have received copy of administration of estate of Nicholas Tomkins of Tysoe, Warwickshire
A little disappointed as mainly admin to his wife Rebecca rather than a detailed will with bequeathments.
Inventory 266/5/0 pounds
Items of the inventory a little hard to transcribe.
Great positive  ...  ordered and sent within 24 hours from staff at Worcestershire
