CROSBY PLACE, BY PHILIP NORMAN, F.S.A., LL.D.,WITH AN ARCHITECTU- RAL DESCRIPTION BY W. D. CAROE, F.S.A. BEING THE NINTH MONO- GRAPH OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE SURVEY OF THE MEMORIALS OF GREATER LONDON. ..The next on the list of those on whom the property had been entailed was Germain Cioll, of whose nationality Lmi doubtful. It has been suggested in Burgon's "Life of Gresham"that he was of Spanish origin and that he came over to England in the train of Philip IL, but he was evidently here much earlier. He married at the church ot St. Michael, Bassishaw, February 20th, 1554, and held the office of churchwarden of St. Helen's in i 566, which denotes that he was then at least a Protestant. There is an assignment of Crosby Place and its appurtenances to him and hiswitc Cicely, liy Peter Crowle, dated on the last day of February 1560, and they came into full possession of the property in June 1561, alter nominal tenure of the fee simple by James* and Thomas Altham during the earlier months of that year, a friendly arrangement, no doubt, the reasons for which are not now apparent. Cicely was a daughter of Sir John Gresham and cousin of SirThomas Gresham, founder of theRoyal Exchange, who lived in Bishopsgate Street hard by. He had been apprenticed to her father and left her by will /^loo. Among existing documents we find in Latin a pardon for Germain Cioll, dated January 15th, ist lilizabeth, or 1558, the offences laid to his charge being conspiracy and treason. On January 25th, 1561, the house was let by Germain to his brother John, and to John Frier, doctor of physic. After a time Germain Cioll, who was a merchant and during the reign of Queen Mary had been engaged in the service of the State,got into diffi- culties, as we learn from the following petition addressed to Cecil by Sir Thomas Gresham in i 566 : - " I am so bold as to send you a letter that my cousin Ciole hath written unto me, wherein I praie you, for my sake, to helpehim to his money if it be possible, in this his great necessitie, whom I will insure you is fallen in decay only by sea and Bankrowts." This explains the reason why Crosby Place with five messuages or tenements was sold on May 15th, 1566, to William Bond, alderman, for ^^1,600, Germain Cioll reserving four tenements, besides some chambers near the hall, to which allusion will presently be made. His wife, who survived him, seems in spite of his losses to have been fairly well off. She occupied one of the tenements till her death on January loth, 1609, and refers to it in her will as her "dwelling-house" in Bishopsgate Street. She left money for the poor of St. Helen's, and of the parish of St. Michael's Bassishaw, and was buried in her father's vault at theeastendof the south aisleof the latter church. The entrance to this vault was exposed to view on the destruction of St. Michael's about the year 1898. Alderman Bond, thepurchaserof the mansion from Cioll, increased it in height by building a turret on the top, probably of some portion thathaslongagodisappeared. Hedied in i 576, SirThomas Gresham being one of the witnesses of his will. He left the property to his widow Margaret for life if she remained unmarried...The information which we have, regarding the two rooms, is contained in the deed of sale of Crosby Place by Germain Cioll and his wife to William Bond in 1566 (now in the Bishopsgate Institute), of which mention has been made on a previous page. We have seen that they then retained four tenements. They also kept possession of "one chambre lyinge on the north side of the wall of bricke and stone of the great chambre, which great chambre is over and above thegreateparlourofthesaied Crosbies Place conteyninge from the saied wall of bricke and stone northward twentie foote of assise and from the west part thereof to the east two and twentie foote of assise; and all the rowmes under the same to the maen grounde and a garret directlie on the same chambre adjoyninge likewise to the wall of bricke and stone afore- said - and likewise excepted and reserved one little garret or loft con- teyninge about twelve foote square adjoyninge to the east ende of the said garret last mentioned directlie on the toppe ofthestaires leadinge up to thegreate chatnbre of the saied Crosbies Place." The dimensions stated here tally ex- actly with those shown on the foundations in Wilkinson's plan, and the position of the rooms is so precisely stated that there is no difficulty in placing them as shown on ourconjectural plan and markedRandS. These g 2 49 additions were probably in half-timberwork, the portion S being three storeys at least in height, and the part R containing the staircasewith a room over it in the roof. The site of the latter was recently occupied by an office androomsover, approximately of the size of the earlier building ... John Webbe: In his will of 28 Dec. 1556 ........To his wife he left his goods and landed property, including his interest in Ospringe parsonage at Faversham, and the custody of their son Germain. The only child mentioned, Germain was the godson of Webbe’s ‘gossip’ Germain Cioll, who was to retain all Webbe’s money for delivery to the son when he became 25, taking £100 for himself and £50 for his son John Cioll. (Germain Cioll was at this time the owner of Crosby Place in St. Helen’s Bishopsgate, once the home of Sir Thomas More, and since Webbe left a gift to the curate of ‘St. Ellyns’ he was probably a neighbour of Cioll in that parish.)

A judgement given in the Exchequer in an information against Germane Cioll for 40.s. set by Queen Mary upon every Tun of wine, of the growth of France, to be brought into the Realme.81 But the case there was this, the Attourney generall informed, that where King Philip, and Queen Mary by their Proclamation, 30 Martii, in the 4. and 5. yeares of their raigne, did will and straitly command, that no wines of the growth of France, should be brought into this | Realme, without speciall licence of the said King and Queene, under paine of forfeiture of such Wine to the King & Queene, Cumq; etiã dict’ nuper Rex & Regina de advisamento Concilii sui ad tunc ordinaver’ & decreverunt, quod quaelibet persona, quae in hoc Regnum Angliae induceret hujusmodi vina contra formam proclamationis praedict’, solveret pro quolibet dolio hujusmodi vini 40 s. vocat. impost. & c.82 and that German Ciol, against the forme and effect of the said Proclamation, had brought into the Realme 338. tunnes of Wines of the growth of France, and had not paid 40 s. for each and every tunne: the Defendant pleaded a licence from the said King and Queene, dated the 9. of Decemb. anno 1. & 2. to bring into the Realme 1500. tunnes of wine, of the growth of Fraunce, in strangers bottoms, with a non obstante83 of any Law, Statute, or Proclamation made or to be made to the contrary, whereupon the demurrer was joyned. In this Record these things are to be observed, first that a Proclamation prohibiting importation of wines upon paine of forfeiture, was against Law: for it appeareth not, that any warre was between the Realmes. 2. The Proclamation was made of purpose to set an imposition, for the 40.s is imposed upon them only, and upon such as should bring in Wines against the said Proclamation, so as the Proclamation was the ground of this information. 3. The King and Queene by advice of their Councell, did order, and decree &c. and sheweth not how, or by what meanes this order and decree was made: the pleading of such a former licence so insufficiently sheweth, that it was by agreement and consent.
