tion

tion of Mr. Wyatt, by the munificence of Dr. Robinfon, late Primate of Ireland, and other Benefac

tors.

The Chaplain's Court is fituated fouth-eaft of the grand Quadrangle, on the north fide whereof is a large building of new chambers; the walls of which was the Hall or Refectory of St. Fridefwide's Priory.

The Court of the Grammar School is fouth of the great Quadrangle, having the Hall on the north fide of it under part of the Hall is the fpacious Common Room, in which is an excellent buft, by Rỵfbrack, of Dr. Bufby, formerly Master of Weftminfter School, and a confiderable benefactor to the College. Round the room are the pictures of feveral of the Masters of the fame School, and other eminent members of the fociety. On the fouth fide is the new Anatomical Theatre, erected and endowed by the late Dr. Lee, Physician to King George II. at the expence of 20,000l. with a proper ftipend to the Lecturer, &c. In it is a fine collection of anatomical preparations and injections. The Wide Gravel Walk, fhaded on each fide with elms, deserves our notice, being a quarter of a mile in length, and of a proportionable breadth. It commands a fight of Lord Harcourt's feat, a pleasant prospect of the Meadows, the Thames, and fome adjacent vil、 lages.

This College was founded by Cardinal Wolsey, upon the place where formerly ftood the Priory of St. Fridefwide, which, and feveral other religious

founda

foundations, were diffolved, in order to endow the new College intended by the Cardinal. The defign was far from being completed at the time of the Cardinal's difgrace, little more being built than the eaft, fouth, and part of the weft fides of the great Quadrangle, and the Kitchen. And as to the foundation itself, whatever it might be at that time, it is certain it was afterwards leffened, and the form of it altered two or three times by the King. The disgrace of the Cardinal happened in the year 1529, when the King feized upon this College, as well as the other estates belonging to the Cardinal. In the year 1532, at the inftance of Lord Cromwell, the King new-modelled the foundation, and gave it the name of King Henry the Eighth's College. This was fuppreffed in 1545, and in the year following the Epifcopal See was removed from Ofeney to this College, and the Church of St. Fridefwide conftituted a Cathedral, by the name of Christ's Church,

This Foundation has continued in the fame form ever fince. It confifts of a Dean, eight Canons, 101. Students, part of which are elected annually from Westminster School; and the other vacancies, as they happen, are filled up by the Dean and Canons; eight Chaplains, eight. Singing-Men, and as many Chorifters, a School-mafter, an Organist, &c. Since the time of Queen Elizabeth, this College has largely experienced the bounty of feveral benefactors, particularly Bishop Fell, who left ten Exhibitions of 101. per ann. to Commoners, to be held for ten years

from

from the time they were nominated to them. The 101ft Studentship was added by William Thurfton, Efq. 1663. Several exhibitions were given by Lady Holford, for Scholars educated at the Charter-Houfe, and more by other benefactors.
