Leicestershire Record Office might have it, or know where it is......assuming the Will itself has survived

I am trying to find the will for an extracted probate record that I found on Ancestry. It's for a death in 1698 for a Richard May and was proven in Groby, Leicestershire but there are no reference numbers or anything. I have looked on the National Archives site and found nothing on there.

Thanks very much
Lindsey
