He died in 1794,

=Spencer Madan= (1794-1813) was a prebendary and king's chaplain, and

=John Parsons= (1813-1819) was Master of Balliol and Dean of Bristol. He
was a man of great mark and influence at Oxford, where he died and was
buried. There is a monument to him in the chapel of Balliol.
=Herbert Marsh= (1819-1839) was the author of many controversial works.
He was translated to this see from Llandaff, where he had been bishop
since 1816. He was buried in the New Building--the last bishop interred
in the cathedral.
=George Davys= (1839-1864) was Dean of Chester, and had been preceptor
to Queen Victoria. He was buried in the Cathedral Yard; the Queen sent
one of her carriages with servants in state liveries to attend the
funeral as a mark of her affection and esteem.
=Francis Jeune= (1864-1868) had been Dean of Jersey, Master of Pembroke,
Oxford, and Dean of Lincoln. His eldest son was the well-known judge.
Bishop Jeune is buried in the Cathedral Yard.
=William Connor Magee= (1868-1891) was Dean of Cork. He was translated
to the Archbishopric of York, but died within a very few months, May
5th, 1891. He is buried in the Cathedral Yard, where a massive cross of
Irish marble has been erected over his grave. In the south choir aisle
of the cathedral there is also a recumbent effigy, the likeness to the
deceased prelate being most remarkably good. His career is so recent and
his eminence so well known that it is unnecessary to speak of them.
=Mandell Creighton= (1891-1897) had been Canon of Windsor, and
previously of Worcester. He was translated to London when Bishop Temple
became Archbishop of Canterbury. He died in 1901, and is buried in the
crypt of S. Paul's; an inlaid marble slab copied from the one over his
grave is in the south choir aisle of the cathedral.
