de Farnham usque Collegium Wynton, ii ^ iiii ti. The following extract, from the undated roll of Henry V., shows us how they were carried, and protected during the carriage : — In panno lineo eiupto pro organis Collegii cooperiendis cariandis usque Clere xx '^. In dicto panno incerando xx "i. In li baculis fraxineis pro eisdem organis portandis viii '^. The following extracts from this roll of extraordinary expenses would be of considerable value, if the churches, to which they refer, had not sub- sequently undergone, as I fear is the case with most of them, very consider- able alterations, and in some cases total destruction. In order to explain how these charges occur among the expenses of Winchester College, I may observe that the Founder, when he transferred to his Colleges the rectories and manors, which he had purchased of certain foreign abbeys, with a view to their endowment, required of them that they should put the chancels of the churches into thorough repair, and even rebuild them if necessary. This was accordingly done at Harmondsworth, Isleworth, Heston, Hampton, and Twickenham, in Middlesex ; and at Hamble and Hound in Hampshire. The five first mentioned places ceased to be the property of the College in the time of Henry VIII., who took them in exchange for other properties, which had belonged to suppressed monas- teries : — In soluto pro operibus novi {sic) cancelli {sic) ecclesise de Harmondsworth factis annis prsedictis, (scil. 20, 21, Ric. 11.) una cum vitriatione iiii fenestrarum, et cum expensis dedicationis ejusdem cancelli Ixviii ^ iii ^ ob.

The charges of the repairs of this church, with its dependent chapels of Hound, Bursledon, and Letley, hodie Netley, extend over several years, and are accounted for by the Bursar among the ordinary expenses. In 12 and 13 of Hen. IV., there is a charge of xiii s, paid to the suifragan of the Bishop of Winchester for the consecration of the altars of the chapel of Bursledon, and Letley ; and a similar charge in the undated roll of Henry V. for the consecration of altars at Hound and Bursledon. In the same year the bell tower of the church of Hamble-le-Rice underwent very considerable repairs, if, indeed, it was not entirely rebuilt, the materials for which were provided at the following cost: — In III diiodcnis de hordes, et tribus plankes emp' per Will"' Ikenham
