The fourth warden, Jasper Yardley, appointed in 1621, re- 
signed to become warden of Archbishop Abbott’s Hospital at 
Guildford. He left a benefaction to the poor of this Hospital, 
and £10 for panelling the chapel. I will refer to this point 
presently. 
Visitations. (See Appendix, Cap. xxi.) 
The first visitation was held in 1616 by assessors. As a 
consequence, the schoolmaster, Robert Davies, B.A., and a 
brother, were expelied, no cause being officially assigned; but 
the records show that no money was found in the Hospital alms- 
box for several quarters prior, and that afterwards money was 
found in it regularly every quarter. 
The second visitation was in 1636, but no report is to be 
found. 
The third visitation was in 1671.. Result—injunction to Wm. 
Crowe, schoolmaster, and Geo. Cozens, warden; but nature of 
the injunction is not recorded. 
The fourth visitation was in 1712. Asan outcome, Archbishop 
Tennison gave £100 for money misapplied by John Cesar, M.A., 
schoolmaster, deceased. It appears that in 1710 the accounts of 
the school were inquired into, and John Cesar signed a bond in 
which he acknowledged that he owed the foundation £184 10s., 
and agreed not to take any stipend (£20 a year) until the debt 
had been paid off. 
The fifth visitation was in 1717. The assessors report grievous 
abuses in granting leasings, and of spoil, damage, and waste, 
and prohibit any further leases and felling of timber, &c., without 
full approbation of the Archbishop in writing. 
The sixth visitation was in 1719. Complaints against misap- 
propriation declared unfounded. Injunction to inmates against 
frivolous and unfounded complaints. 
The seventh visitation, however, so soon after as 1722, was 
followed by the dismissal of Wm. Ball, warden, for defaleation 
amounting to £8 38s. 14d. 
The eighth visitation was by the Archbishop’s secretary in 
1771. Complaints were considered about the division of fuel, 
and were settled satisfactorily. 
The ninth and last visitation was in 1812. The Archbishop 
(Manners Sutton) visited in person. John Rose, D.D., was the 
schoolmaster. His accounts were looked into, and arrears to 
the amount of £233 were proved against him. The warden and 
brethren, dissatisfied with the above award, commenced the next 
year an action against Rose for misappropriating the funds of 
the foundation. The jury gave a verdict against him for 
£529 2s. 7d. over and above the amount already proved by the 
Archbishop. Researches of the present warden show some
