[8] The present Earl succeeded to the title on the death of his
cousin, Francis, the learned Chancellor of the University of the
Ionian Islands, founded by himself, and which he richly endowed
with a noble bequest and a splendid library. His Lordship is
Rector of St. Mary's, Southampton, Old and New Abresford and
Medstead, in Hampshire, a Prebendary of Winchester, and Master
of St. Cross, Hospital.

Among many famous men who have presided over the Hospital, was
Colonel John Lisle, of Moyles Court, Regicide, and M.P. for the
City of Winchester.

[9] From a paper in _The Crypt_, an antiquarian journal, printed
at Ringwood, Hants, in the year 1827. The writer observes that
Dr. Milner has uniformly applied the term _Saxon_ to the
circular arches in this structure, as well as to similar
specimens; but subsequent topographers have arrived at the more
probable conclusion, that very slight remains, if any, now exist
of ecclesiastical edifices by the Saxons.
