In Cloister Court, a paving stone at the east end of the north cloister has the inscription:
I: Poley
Burſar
1695.
John Poley was a Fellow 1676–1718, and was Bursar in 1695. Presumably this inscription dates the laying of the paving. It cannot have been a gravestone, as sometimes fancifully supposed, because (a) this was not consecrated ground; and (b) Poley lived until 1718.
