"William Hasledine was the son of a gentleman of the same name, residing in the Close at Lincoln. He was matriculated of Lincoln College, Oxford, in May, 1730, at the age of 16, and was elected Demy of Magdalen College, in July of the same year. He became a fellow of Magdalen College in 1733, and continued so till 1764; consequently he was a Fellow at the time the letters to Mrs. and Miss Lintott were written ; in the first of which he alludes to the College election at the end of July for Demies and Fellows. He was presented by the College to the Rectory of Dinton, Wiltshire, in 1762. He was also Incumbent of Corberley, Gloucestershire, from 1764 to 1771; and Rector of Wishford, Wiltshire.
He died in 1775, and was buried in Dinton church. He was the author of '
Bellus Homo et Academicus' recited in the Sheldonian Theatre in 1733. He was also a benefactor to Magdalen College. The epitaph on his tombstone in Dinton church gives him no common character."
