The chief benefactors and property of the College are the following--Bp. William Smith, founder, gave Basset’s Fee near Oxford, and the entire property of the suppressed Priory of Cold Norton, lying chiefly in Oxfordshire. Sir Richard Sutton gave lands in Burgh or Erdborowe in Leicestershire; the White Hart in the Strand, London; and lands in Cropredy, North Ockington, Garsington, and Cowley. The earliest gift of all was from Mrs. Elizabeth Morley, who in 1515 gave the manor of Pinchpoll, in Faringdon, coupled with conditions of undertaking certain services in St. Margaret’s, Westminster. Joyce Frankland in 1586 gave the Red Lion in Kensington, &c., and money. Queen Elizabeth, 1572 and 1579, founds Middleton School in Lancashire, and connects it with the College by scholarships, and by giving the manor of Upberry and rectory of Gillingham. Sarah Duchess of Somerset in 1679 gave Somerset Iver and Somerset Thornhill scholarships, and alternate presentation to Wootton Rivers. William Hulme, 1691, land producing £40 a year for four exhibitions, tenable at Brasenose, from Lancashire; the property increased enormously in value, being in the Hulme district of Manchester, and now provides, besides High Schools for boys and girls at Manchester, and a Hulme Hall connected with the Victoria University, eight Senior and twelve Junior Exhibitions, of the value of £120 and £80 respectively. Sir Francis Bridgeman in 1701 gave money for an annual speech, originally in praise of James II. _Pictures, busts, &c._ In the Hall are pictures of King Alfred[226] (modern), Bp. William Smith (founder), Sir Richard Sutton (founder), Joyce Frankland (benefactress, with a sixteenth century watch in her hand), Alexander Nowell (Principal), Bp.

Ashurst Turner Gilbert (Principal), Edward Hartopp Cradock (Principal). The Brazen Nose is fixed in a frame beneath the picture of King Alfred. A picture of the first Marquis of Buckingham once here is now in the possession of the representatives of the family. In the north window at the east end of the Hall are portraits of the two founders, and a face with a grotesque nose, in painted glass. The glass of the south window is modern. In the _Library_ are busts of Lord Grenville by Nollekens, and of Pitt. In the _Bursary_ is a second picture of Joyce Frankland. In the _Chapel_ are an old copy of Spagnoletto’s Entombment of Christ, a copy of Poussin’s Assumption of St. Paul, and busts of the two founders, formerly in niches in the middle of the north side of the Hall outside and engraved in Spelman’s _Ælfredi Magni Vita_ (Oxon. 1678).
