[76] Rufus was extravagant in dress, and resented a present of boots which only cost 3s. [77] He was a Fellow of the College and a Canon of Winchester. Ken was brother-in-law of Walton. [78] That is, approximately, for when long before, De Blois moved many of these from the crypt, he found no inscriptions and went by hearsay. [79] A physical representation of the exhortation, “Lift up your hearts!” He ordered five thousand Masses to be said for himself and his friends. [80] At the end of the last century. [81] Piers Gaveston, favourite of Edward II., is by some thought to have been a son of Sir Arnald. But it has been said that he was of low origin, and even an Italian. Courtenay’s coffin was found lately in the well of the crypt, and is now in the choir. [82] A bishop in the fourteenth century who founded, to the south of Wolvesey Castle and east of the College, the College of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Slight traces remain. [83] Also “God’s House” at Portsmouth, the priory of Selborne, and Titchfield Abbey. [84] He chose this which is carved in his Chantry and elsewhere on account of his great veneration for the holy Sacrament. Hence also he gave the name of Corpus Christi to his college at Oxford, which keeps up this chantry. [85] Cnut’s remains are said to have been found in the Cathedral in 1766.

In this crypt are some askew arches, the art of forming which is said to be lost. Another peculiarity is that the east end descends as in Glasgow Cathedral. SIXTH DAY.

This day was to be devoted to visiting the Cathedral library and precincts, and to taking a stroll about the streets of the city. We again entered the lime-tree avenue and looked across the burial ground. A great improvement had been carried out within the last three years. When I was last here it was crowded with tombstones bending over to each other in various stages of decay, now it presents a pleasant sward as smooth as a bowling-green. There is a headstone close to the path recording the gallantry of twenty-three persons who died in an attempt to save the property of their master from destruction by fire. Near the south-west angle of the ground there is a better-known memorial to a less heroic man, who owes his immortality to the drollery of his epitaph. It runs as follows:--
