This religious house was founded by Heir y de Blois, brother of King Stephen, about the middle of the twelfth century, and he committed the guartiimi .hip and administration thereof to the master and brethren of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, saving to the Bishop of chesta his canonical jurisdiction. 'the guardian ship, however, was, by a cleTter executed at Bover. transferred, in the time of I itatry It., to the Bishop of Winchester. There was another charity in 140 folded to this charity by Cardinal Beaufort, called the Noble House of Charity, which was founded for the support of two chaplains, thirtptive poor men, and three poor women, anti the income of the charities arose out of lands with which Henry de Blois and Cardinal Beaufort hurl endowed theta. These lands, it was now said, were let on leases for lives, anti at inadequate rents, by the master and brethren, the former being the Earl of Guilford. 't he Attorney - General stated that the lands ought, at a fair valua tion, to produce MOM/. per annum, whereas the rental now accruing was only the surplus ap parently taking the shape of tines for renewals, awl so behm diverted front the intended charitable par poses of the founders.
