Lane,” on 22nd August, 1667 (Calendar State Papers, Domestic, 1667, p. 409), and
in November, 1668 or 1669, Lord Allington refers to his mother’s house in Drury
Lane (Ibid., 1668–9, p. 55). Lady Allington was succeeded in this house by Lady
Ivey (Hearth Tax Roll for 1675).

524. It is just possible that a later reference to the spring is to be found in the
petition dated 7th July, 1637, of the inhabitants of the Old Town of St. Giles,
“complayning of ye stopping up of a fair large and open well in ye said towne; being
of great use and comfort to ye peters who now find ye want thereof in these times of
contagion, ye same being continued to bee stopped up as aforesaid, by ye now

heretofore in the possession of John Vavasour.” (Close Roll, 12 William III. (4863)
—Indenture between Mary Rawlinson, etc., cited above).
531. Parton’s statement that the two were identical (Hospital and Parish of St.
Giles, p. 127) is incorrect. The Hearth Tax Rolls mention both, and both are clearly
shown in the map accompanying Strype’s edition of Stow (Plate 5).
532. He died in 1585 (Inquisitiones Post Mortem, Series II., Vol. 208 (173).)

Ant. Elmes The Bear Brewhouse, in St. Giles (Middlesex Registry Memorials, 1717,
IV., 263).
537. Ancient tavern signs were nearly always “on the hoop,” which seems to
have originated “in the highly ornamented bush or crown, which latterly was made
of hoops covered with evergreens.” (Larwood and Hotton, History of Signboards,

543. On 27th March, 1573, Henry Amptill and Roger Mascall, brewers, were
convicted of having set at large certain suspected persons, whom William Westone,
a “hedborowe” of St. Giles, had taken in a certain tenement of the said Henry
Amptill and had imprisoned. (Middlesex County Records, Sessions Rolls, I., p. 82).
544. In 1621, John Ampthill was granted leave to alienate 5 messuages, 11
cottages and 4 gardens to Anne, Robert, James and Thomas Foote (Patent Roll, 19
Jas. I. (2263)); in 1614 he sold 3 houses to Richard Windell (Middlesex Feet of
Fines, 12 Jas I., Mich.), whose grandson in 1630 parted with them to Abraham
Hawkins (Close Roll, 6 Chas. I. (2823)); and in 1625 he obtained leave to alienate
14 messauges to John and Abraham Hawkins. On the death of Abraham in 1645,
he was still in possession of 14 messuages in St. Giles (Inquisitiones Post Mortem,
2nd Series, 707 (41).)
545. The Hawkins property seems to have descended to Sir William Dawes,
Archbishop of York, whose mother was Jane Hawkins. By a deed of 1726
(Middlesex Registry Memorials, 1726, IV., 389) Jane Lewis sold the remainder of
a lease granted by Sir William, and comprising inter alia a house which by
reference to the ratebooks can be shown to be the second westwards from Lamb
Alley.

Street in July, 1693, and October, 1694 (Chancery Decree Roll, 1933. Suit of
William Lloyd).

not seem to have been granted before 1708–9.

581. Much of the above information is taken from Emily Dibdin’s Seven Dials

583. It should be mentioned, however, that in a petition, probably belonging
to the year 1354, the Mayor and Commonalty of London claimed that the Hospital
had been founded by a citizen of London suffering from leprosy. (Calendar of
Letterbooks of the City of London, Letterbook G., p. 27).
584. Parton (History of the Hospital and Parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, p.
1) and, following him, Dugdale (Monasticon VII., p. 635) give the date of the
Hospital’s foundation as 1101. This is certainly wrong. Parton’s authority was an
entry in Leland’s Collectanea, I., p. 418 (2nd edn.), which under the date 1101
mentions several events, (i.) Henry’s marriage with Maud, (ii.) his appointment of
a military guard for his brother Robert who was in prison, (iii.) Maud’s foundation
of the Hospital of St. Giles. The next entry is dated 1109. The date 1101 is obviously
only intended to cover (i.) (which took place strictly speaking in 1100), for Robert
was not taken prisoner until the battle of Tinchebray in 1106. The passage
therefore would seem to suggest a date between 1106 and 1109 for the foundation
of St. Giles.

592. I.e., 27 Edw. I. (Calendar of Patent Rolls, p. 404). It has been generally
assumed that the date was 1354, i.e., 27 Edw. III., no doubt because Parton
(Hospital and Parish of St. Giles, pp. 23, 26) when translating the document
relating to the suit between the Abbot of St. Mary Graces and the Master of Burton
Lazars gave the name of the King as Edward the son of Edward, whereas the
reading is clearly “Edward the son of Henry.”
593. It really extended somewhat to the west of the eastern side of the modern
road, which has been formed by widening the ancient Hog Lane.

apparently lost by the transaction, but from a letter, dated 1st April, 1535, written
by Richard Layton to Cromwell, it would seem that at one time there was a distinct
prospect of his faring still worse. “I sent for the Master of Burton Lazer as you
desired, advertising him of the King’s pleasure commanding him to be here by
Easter eve, and desire you to intercede for him with the King that he might obtain
other lands for his lands of St. Giles’s. He came, and I have been with him divers
times. I have persuaded him to put his sole trust in you and that he shall not go to
the King in anywise before you bring him to His Grace. He is content to do so.
When you wish that I should bring him unto you to make further declaration to
him of the King’s pleasure, let me know.” (Calendar of Letters of Henry VIII., 26

Shoreditch. The following inscription was underneath (Hatton’s New View of
London, 1908):—

“Here under lye the Ashes and the Bones


Of Sir Tho. Leigh, that good and learned Knight,
Whose hasty Death, alas, the Godly still bemoan,
Tho his Soul always rejoice in God’s sight,
Great was his Wisdom, and greater was his Wit,
His Visage comely, with no sad Change dismay’d,
A Man in all Affairs a King to serve most fit,
Had not Death so soon his mortal Life betray’d.”

641. The “Lorde Mountjoye and the Lady Katherine” are mentioned in a
mortgage by the former to John Mery, dated 1st February, 1556–7. (Close Roll, 4
and 5, Philip and Mary (547)).
642. Close Roll, 7 Eliz. (695).
643. Considerable doubt seems to have existed on this point. Side by side with
assertions to the contrary, there are plain statements that the mortgage was
redeemed (see e.g., Chancery Decree Roll, 54, concerning a complaint by Jas.
Mascall against Thomas Harrys and others). Nevertheless it is quite certain that
the statement in the text is true, for (1) the recognisance accompanying the
mortgage is not cancelled; (2) Blount’s son Charles (afterwards Earl of Devonshire)
definitely stated that the manor was not redeemed (Chancery Proceedings,
Elizabeth B. 15–52), suit of Charles Blount; (3) the steps by which the manor
descended from the Brownes are known.
644. Close Roll, 21 Eliz. (1059); Common Plea Roll, 25 Eliz., Hilary, 4010;
Close Roll, 34 Eliz. (1425). Parton (Hospital and Parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields,
p. 331) bridges over the gap between Blount and Cope by the supposition that the
manor came into the hands of the last-named in consequence of a mortgage to one
“Master Cope, citizen of London.” But (1) the mortgage is not of the manor of St.
Giles, and (2) the proper reading is not “Cope” but “Rope.”

of the church. He gives no authority for the sketch save that it was as “preserved in
rude delineations of it, made near the time.”

the Church of St. Giles, the greatest bell in the steeple; and divers great pieces of
massive plate; paved the chancel with marble, built the fair blue gate at the
entrance to the churchyard, and purchased a fair house of £30 a year value for the
perpetual incumbent. She also gave the hangings for the choir, which cost £80
10s., 2 service books, embroidered in gold, £5; velvet altar cloth with gold fringe
£60; a cambric cloth to lay over it with a deep bone lace £4 10s.; another fine
damask cloth £3; 2 cushions for the altar, richly embroidered with gold, £10; a
Turkey carpet to lay before the altar £6; a long screen to sever the chancel from the
church, richly carved and gilt, £200; a fair organ £100; the organ loft richly
wrought and gilt, and a tablet of the Ten Commandments, the Creed and Lord’s
Prayer, richly adorned, £80; the rails before the altar curiously carved and gilt,
£40.” (Calendar of State Papers, Domestic, 1668–9, p. 176).

messuages, 200 cottages, 40 gardens and 10 acres of land in St. Giles, Mary, Sara
and Jane renounce for their heirs. It will be seen that the property had grown, and
it is known that Bainbridge had purchased more (see e.g., purchase from Sir John
Bramston and others, Middlesex Feet of Fines, 1665, Trinity).
689. “The Rookery,” was a triangular space bounded by Bainbridge, George,
and High Streets; it was one dense mass of houses, through which curved narrow
tortuous lanes, from which again diverged close courts—one great mass, as if the
houses had originally been one block of stone, eaten by slugs into numberless
small chambers and connecting passages. The lanes were thronged with loiterers;
and stagnant gutters, and piles of garbage and filth infested the air. In the
windows, wisps of straw, old hats, and lumps of bed-tick or brown paper,
alternated with shivered panes of broken glass, the walls were the colour of
