An early eighteenth century rent book refers to Francis Merewether’s new built house, now Thomas Browne’s. The House was built around 1700 for Francis Merewether of Devizes. He was High Sheriff of Wiltshire in 1700, and is listed there as coming from Easterton near Market Lavington (Wikipedia). Settlement before his marriage to Hannah Leigh of London in 1697 had made him wealthier. The manors of Bulkington, Worths or Bulkington Farm and Week Farm, Keevil were transferred to him. Francis Merewether had two terms as an MP for Devizes. One in 1701 and a second term from 1703 to 1705.

Son of Richard:

Pipes Place is situated in Forge Lane (formerly Smith Street) Shorne, Kent, opposite Malthouse Lane. It is a large house built in the Georgian style lying a little back from the road behind a large wall of red brick. ..It is thought that the house was probably owned by Edmunds father Thomas Page, who married Frances Parker, the daughter of Richard Parker, a local Justice of the Peace, and the sister of John and Henry Parker, but the original owners of the estate are unknown.
In 1640 Richard Parker, a local magistrate, lived at Pipes Place. He lent his clerk to the vestry, and his first appearance as vestryman was in 1646. He was referred to as "The Squire of Pipes Place". Richard Parker was subsenechal (a steward) in nearby Gravesend, when the Duke of Richmond was High Steward of the town. The Commonwealth of Oliver Cromwell existed from 1649 to 1659, and as the duke was named a Malignant (a Royalist) the Corporation of Gravesend offered the Stewardship to Oliver Cromwell, who commissioned John Parker as understeward. It is thought that John Parker was one of Richard's sons.
When Richard Parker died in 1646 Henry Parker inherited the estate, and continued living at Pipes Place. He became a prominent figure in parish affairs during the rest of his life.
In fact Rentroll for 1702 showed "the widow Martha Parker" residing at Pipes Place until it was sold to Jarvis Maplesden III, who bought the house along with 20 acres of land from the Parker family.

Description Will of Chidiock Paulet of Wade, Hampshire Date 14 March 1575 Catalogue reference PROB 11/57
Lord Chideock Paulet (4th?), son of the ist Marquess of Winchester, lived at Wade near Warblington, Hampshire. He was married, and had issue, according to Burke's Peerage, which, (erroneously, if Marshall is to be trusted,) makes him 3rd son. He was Receiver of Hampshire, and Captain of Portsmouth from 1552 to 1562. He retained Elizabeth's confidence to some extent, for on 10 January 1567 he was appointed head of a commission to inquire into concealed lands belonging to suppressed religious houses in Hants and Berks. In 1569 he refused to subscribe the Act of Uniformity ; and in 1578 he was a recusant, residing at the Spittle-without- Bishopsgate, London, where mass was being said. (Dasent , iv.-vii. ; Cal. Dom. 1547, 207, 287, 348 ; Cal. Dom. Add. 1566, 550-1.)
...the names and addresses of certain Papists in London, with particulars of those who keep chaplains, attend Mass, c.
"The Lord Chideock Paulett, the Spittal without Bishopgate, who hath a chaplain called Johnson, the which Johnson was lately examined by Mr. Dr. Wilson, and the Lord Bishop of London, who lay in the White Lion a good while after he was pulled out of his den at Pauls.
Paulet left a large estate in Hampshire and some property in Buckinghamshire when he died on 17 Aug 1574. He had acquired most of this property during Edward VI's reign. The will he made three days before his death omits his lands entirely. He bequeathed to his wife all the plate, hangings, bedding, brass and pewter he had received at their marriage in Borley, Essex, and all his household silver. His daughters Elizabeth and Susan received £900 between them, his son Thomas a £20 annuity, and his stepson Charles Waldegrave a horse. William Paulet, his son and heir, was appointed executor.

The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the will, dated 8 March 1561 and probated 8 May 1561, of Anne Watson, mother of the poet, Thomas Watson (1592).
Item, I do will and desire that my daughter, Elizabeth, may be with my Lady Laxton, and she to have her portion, putting in sureties for the same till she come to lawful age or day of marriage;
Item, I will and desire that my daughter, Maudelyn, may be with Mistress Lodge, and he to have her portion in like manner;
According to the online edition of The Dictionary of National Biography, Lady Laxton (d.1576), to whom Anne Watson entrusted the upbringing of her daughter, Elizabeth Watson, was one of the wealthiest women in London, and Lady Laxton’s daughter, Anne (nee Luddington) Lodge (1528-1579), widow of William Lane, grocer, to whom Anne Watson entrusted the upbringing of her daughter Maudelyn Watson, was the mother of the dramatist, Thomas Lodge (1558-1625). Sir William Laxton (d. 1556), mayor of London, was the son of John Laxton of Oundle, Northamptonshire. . . . Laxton became one of the wealthiest London merchants of his time.
. . . By the terms of Laxton's will of 17 July 1556, his estate after the death of his widow was to be divided among his own right heir, his niece Joan Wanton, and the three children of his wife, Joan, from her marriage to Henry Luddington: Nicholas, Joan, and Anne. . . .
Laxton's widow, one of the wealthiest inhabitants of London, a substantial purchaser of real estate, and a powerful matriarch, died in August 1576.

Will In his will, dated November 10 1428, he lists
Himself, John Stourton of Preston Senior
His father John Stourton sometime Lord of Stourton
William his brother and son and heir of their father John
Katherine his wife
Anastasia his sister
Cecilia his daughter
Sir John Stourton, his nephew, son of William.
All John Stourton's landed property he had previously settled on his daughters, in his lifetime, and when his Inquisition was taken after his death, at Yeovil, in 17 Henry VI., 1439, he was called John Stourton, Esquire, of Preston, not Brimpton, and it was proved and found by the Jurors that he then held no lands, hereditaments and premises within the County of Somerset, his three daughters,
(i) Cecily, wife of Thomas Kuriel, knight, aged 34 years ; (2) Johanna, wife of John Sydenham, Esquire, aged 21 years ; and (3) Alice Stourton, aged 7 years ; were his coheirs at law. These daughters were respectively children by each of his three wives, and the Inquisition is important as deciding the priority of their births. In Harleian MS., No. 1074, his first wife was erroneously given as his second one, with her name in blank, and his second wife was consequently placed as his first one, and in a pedigree prepared in
1509, there was also some confusion made in his three wives, although more care was used in ascertaining the child by each marriage, excepting as to their priority of birth. John Stourton's first wife was Joan, daughter of William Banastre, Lord of the Manors of Wheathill, Radstock, &c*., widow of Robert Aff'eton, living in 1395. He founded an obiit to " Pray for the soul of Joany sometime the wife of John Stourton;};." By her he had one daughter and heir, eventually a coheir : -
Cecily Stourton, aged 34 years in 1439, she married (i) John Hill,
of Spakton, aged 21 years on his father's death, on Sunday the Feast
of St. Mark, I424§, who himself died on Thursday next after the Feast
. of St. Calixtus in 1435II, with whom she claimed a house in Wells, as
heir of her maternal grandfather, William Banastre, called Lord of
Wellesleigh, who had, by deed in 12 Richard II., given a messuage in
Wells to a Canon thereof, which John and Cecily Hill alleged they had
been dispossessed ofH. She married (2) Sir Wjtiiam? Kuriel, knight, of
Westhangre, Kent**, whose wife she was at her father's death, and under

- It was found in 20 Edward III., that Sir John de Criel, or Keriel, paid aid for one fourth of a knight's
fee, which Benjamin and John de Stourton, had held in Westhangre, in Stanford, Co. Kent, of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, which comprised certain lands, which were subsequently imparked in the
Park of Westhangre, called Baynams alias Berharas,
CHILDREN OF JOHN STOURTON, OF PRESTON. 85
thelatter's will she had one silver cup which had belono-ed to one Nicliolas
d'Ortes. On her death, iSth April, 1472, Preston Pluckenet passed to
her son and heir by John^Hill*.
John Stourton married, secondly, Alice Dennis or Peny, of Co. Kent,
called Alice, daughter and heir of . . . Peny, by Hoare, and confirmed as to
the name by Had, MS., 1074; and as dauorhter of . . . Dennis, of Kent, by
Edmondson. By her he had issue a daughter and coheir : - -
Jane Stourton, aged 21 years in 1439, wrongly called Alice in the
Visitation for Co. Somerset, but corrected to Jane in the old pedigree of
1509, who married John Sydenham!, Esquire, M.P. for Co. Somerset,
and which marriage is confirmed subject to Alice for Jane, by the
Visitation for Co. Somerset, as well as being confirmed by Hoare and
Edmondson, and supported by legal records. John Sydenham pre-
deceased his wife, on the 4th April, 1460, leaving Walter, his son and
heir, aged 25J, and in his Inquisition taken in 8 Edward IV., he was
called John Sydenham, senior. Esquire, and Preston Manor was then
said to be held of the Honor of Trowbridge. His son and heir, Walter
Sydenham, also predeceased his mother, Jane Sydenham, on the ist
May, 1469, leaving John Sydenham, his son and next heir, who was the
next heir of his grandmother, Mrs. Joan Sydenham, who was seised in fee,

Biography
Oxborough dedicated his life to the service of King’s Lynn. He represented the town in five parliaments and occupied the onerous position of town clerk before being elevated to the recordership in 1597. .. Oxborough drafted his will on 18 Dec. 1623, shortly before his death. He bestowed a life interest in his mansion house in Lynn upon his second wife Margaret, except for the study and gallery ‘over the little parlours’, which he reserved for his eldest son. A messuage and 90 acres around Lynn and the remainder of his properties in Norfolk at Middleton, Terrington St. John, Feltwell, Tilney, and Islington were divided among his children and grandchildren. He asked to be buried ‘without pomp or a funeral’ next to his first wife, Thomasine, at Emneth, Norfolk.
By an inquisition taken at Norwich, January 14, in the 22d of James I. it was found that Thomas Oxborough, Esq. died December 8, in the 21st of that King, possessed of this rectory, 66 acres of land, the advowson of the vicarage, 3 messuages, one cottage, 15 acres of pasture, and 30 of marsh, in this parish and St. German's, late parcel of the priory of Castleacre, held in capite by knight's service. Thomas was his son and heir, by Thomasine his wife, who held the same, and had by Audrey his wife, Hewer Oxborough, his son and heir, and Laurence, his second son; Hewar dying in 1628, it came so his brother Lawrence, then aged 18.

The Leweston Tomb, Sherborne Abbey.
Here lies John and Joan Leweston, the last of the Lewestons to own Leweston Manor, situated south of Sherborne. This had been in the family since before the conquest. But upon the death of Joan in 1579 and John in 1584 without male issue, the estate fell to his step-son, Sir John Fitzjames. The manor now houses Leweston School.
This was probably erected by Sir John Fitzjames of Leweston (who died16th May, 1625, aged 77) the then owner of Long Burton. He was blessed with a numerous family of sons, and while the eldest, Leweston Fitzjames, was destined to inherit the paternal acres, the younger sons were settled as tenants or leaseholders on farms about the property. Thus, Ralph Fitzjames was domiciled at Stockbridge, in the parish of Lillington, John and Robert at Holnest, and Thomas at Long Burton. We may conjecture that this house may have been built as a residence for Thomas Fitzjames, or at any rate have been occupied by him.

VOLUME XXIX
The Commonplace Book of Sir John Strangways (1645-1666)
Edited by Thomas G. Olsen
Sir John Strangways (1585-1666), a Royalist MP for Dorset, Weymouth, and Melcombe Regis, took up arms against the Parliamentarian troops of Sir Thomas Fairfax at the siege of Sherborne Castle on 15 August 1645. He was soon after brought before the House of Commons on charges of high treason and was imprisoned in the Tower of London until his release on 15 May 1648. During and after his incarceration, Strangways kept a commonplace book in which he gathered together the conventional wisdom of his age, assembled arguments for his political and moral views, versified biblical and devotional writings, and recorded his original poems. The manuscript is of particular interest because of the range of materials Strangways assembled in these pages: expressions of moral philosophy are organized alongside detailed, careful defenses of the Stuart monarchy, the established church, and the rule of law.
This critical edition of Strangways's manuscript, an important literary and historical document of nearly 300 leaves, contains a transcription of the entire commonplace book, an account of all textual properties, and a detailed critical commentary. The edition’s substantial introduction is by far the most extensive biographical and critical assessment of Strangways to date, though in the last two decades several important studies of seventeenth-century English political life have made selective uses of the manuscript. This edition will prove valuable for historians and literary critics generally, and particularly for specialists in the history of parliament, English law, and the seventeenth-century church, as well scholars of the Civil War and Interregnum periods.

Hostage to Fortune
The Troubled Life of Francis Bacon
By LISA JARDINE and ALAN STEWART
Hill and Wang
...For Nicholas Bacon, the social rise which had begun with his education in the liberal arts and the law was consolidated by marriage. His first wife was a Suffolk merchant's daughter named Jane Fernley, who was to provide him with an important family link to the influential London merchant banker (and financial agent to the Queen) Sir Thomas Gresham, who married her sister Anne. Jane bore him seven children, then died suddenly in late 1552. With six surviving offspring, all under twelve, to be cared for, a second marriage had to be arranged as a matter of urgency: Sir Nicholas took a new wife within weeks. In spite of the speed with which the marriage contract must have been negotiated, it was an equally shrewd move in terms of the bereaved Sir Nicholas' future prospects within the Tudor gentry.
Sir Nicholas' second bride, Anne Cooke, came from the intellectual milieu he took such pleasure in frequenting. The suspicion with which his first wife's family always regarded her suggests the possibility that she had already taken his fancy even before the ailing Jane died. Anne was one of the five daughters of Sir Anthony Cooke, widely esteemed from their youth for their erudition and piety.
...Nathaniel, three years younger than Nicholas, was destined to lead Norfolk society from his estate at Stiffkey. His wife was another Anne, the young illegitimate daughter of Sir Nicholas' brother-in-law Sir Thomas Gresham. Acknowledged from birth by her father, she too brought a considerable fortune to her marriage. Building out from Stiffkey, Nathaniel's estate soon included four Suffolk manors settled on the couple by Gresham and two Norfolk manors bought up by his father. The Bacon daughters, too, were well set up. The eldest, Elizabeth, married the courtier Sir Robert Doyly; Ann married Henry Woodhouse of Wraxham, son of a prominent Norfolk family; and the youngest (confusingly also named Elizabeth) married the recorder of Norwich, Sir Francis Wyndham, who later became a Judge of Common Pleas. Each had a substantial marriage portion (£800 in the case of the elder Elizabeth; one thousand marks each for the two younger sisters). .....In the summer of 1569, as noted above, Nathaniel Bacon married Anne, the illegitimate daughter of Sir Thomas Gresham by a Mistress Dutton, one of his household servants who had been married off by her master to Thomas Dutton, a factor employed by Gresham in Antwerp and Hamburg. Anne's education naturally left much to be desired, and as the bride of Sir Nicholas' son she had to be turned into a lady at speed. Nathaniel knew exactly how this was to be done. Immediately after the marriage he arranged for her to join his much younger half-brothers in the schoolroom at Gorhambury.
Sir Thomas Gresham's wife Anne was not entirely comfortable to see Anne Dutton-Gresham under Lady Bacon's roof. Nathaniel wrote first to one of Sir Thomas' servants, asking him to put the case to his parents-in-law: `I require no great time for my wife to be with my Lady [Lady Bacon], half a year or a quarter, more or less as my father[-in-law] shall appoint the time certain, and within that space if upon any occasion he shall mislike of her usage, I will undertake it shall be so.' To Lady Gresham herself he wrote reassuring her that the cost at least would be met elsewhere: `In my talk had with your Ladyship I perceived you were not minded, if my wife were placed here, to be at any charge with her. I shall undertake that shall be so rather than any let [hindrance] shall thereby grow; only I require that you and my father[-in-law] will show a good liking of her coming hither, for otherwise I know my Lady [Lady Bacon] will not have her.'
Some years later Nathaniel recalled the circumstances, and acknowledged his debt to his stepmother:
Your ladyship knoweth how, being matched in marriage as I am, it stood me upon to have some care of the well bringing up of my wife, for these words of Erasmus are very true: plus est bene instrui quam bene nasci [it is better to have been well instructed than well born]. If she should have had the want of both, I had just cause to fear what might befall. Hereupon, being not able to remedy the one, I did as much as in me lay to provide for the other, and therefore I sought by all the means I could to have her placed with your ladyship. This is it for which I think myself so greatly beholding to your ladyship, in that you were content to trouble yourself with having my wife, and not that alone, but during her being with you to have such care over her and better to use her than I myself could have wished. Yea, I often said, and yet say, a more strait manner of usage would have wrought a greater good. Yet such was your ladyship's goodwill, which I will not live to be unmindful of: for the care had of her, I account it had of me; the good done to her, I account it done to me, for I persuade myself it was done in respect of me.
Anne Gresham Bacon herself was fulsome in her acknowledgement of the pains Lady Bacon had taken with her, and retained fond memories of those shared lessons, sending warm wishes, when she wrote to her mother-in-law, `to my brother Anthony and my good brother Frank'.

After leaving Cambridge without graduating, Bacon proceeded to Gray's Inn where he shared the lord keeper's chamber with his brothers Nicholas and Edward, and his half-brother Anthony. Bacon's two periods as Member for Tavistock were no doubt the result of religious affinity and family friendship with Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford , his own local standing explains his membership for Norfolk and King's Lynn.

His three daughters, who had married John Townshend , Robert Gawdy and Thomas Knyvett, were named as executrices, the estates being shared between them and his wife, with provision for his grandchildren. Bacon apologised for giving ‘no greater legacies’, since he was heavily in debt to his elder step-son, Owen Smyth, the profits of whose lands he had used during Smyth's minority. He had, moreover, given his second wife ‘£400 a year more than I assured her before marriage’ Bacon died in Nov 1622.

The history of the borough of Ludgershall .... As at many other boroughs during the same period, the representation was shared between a number of local families, the most important being the Webbs of Rodbourne Cheney, where they had been established for many generations. The Webbs were by the late 17th century a family of more than local importance. Colonel Edmund Webb, who represented Ludgershall from 1700 to 1705, had also an interest at Cricklade, for which he sat for many years; his son Thomas was an eminent lawyer, counsellor-at-law to the Prince of Denmark and Recorder of Devizes, which he represented in the Parliament of 1710. More important in the history of Ludgershall was Colonel Webb's second son, General John Richmond Webb, the hero of the battle of Wynendael, who figures in Thackeray's Henry Esmond. The reports made to James II in 1688 had referred to Ludgershall as influenced by Thomas Neale and the Roman Catholic Sir Anthony Browne, who had 'the chiefe interest'. (fn. 145) In 1692 John Richmond Webb laid the foundation of his family's predominating influence at Ludgershall by purchasing an estate at Biddesden from the Brownes, an estate on which in 1711, when he had become something of a popular hero, he was to build himself a house modelled upon Kensington Palace. (fn. 146) For the next few years Thomas Neale and the Webbs competed; John Webb defeated Neale's son in 1695 and successfully petitioned against Neale's own election in 1698. (fn. 147) From 1698 to 1734 the Webbs held the field; in no Parliament was Ludgershall not represented by at least one Webb, and more often than not by two, or by one Webb and another member in the Webb interest. (fn. 148)
General Webb died in 1724 and was succeeded by his son Borlace, who sat for Ludgershall in 1722 and 1727 but was defeated in 1734 (fn. 154) and died without heirs in 1738. (fn. 155)

No. 13 Great Marlborough Street
Demolished
The large house which formerly stood on the west corner of Blenheim (now Ramillies) Street was built as two separate houses. (ref. 17) The eastern house was mortgaged by Joseph Collens in 1707 (ref. 41) and assigned in 1710 by his widow Lydia, who had in the meantime obtained the reversionary lease, to the Hon. John Richmond, alias Webb. (ref. 42) In the latter year Webb also obtained the reversionary lease of the adjoining house on the corner, which had been built by Richard Daston. (ref. 43) Webb had fought at Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet and rose to the rank of general. He combined the two houses, which remained one thereafter, and lived here until his death in 1724. The house was said to have been occupied by the Duke of Marlborough himself, (ref. 44) but it was probably Webb's tenancy which gave rise to this story. After the general's death the house remained unoccupied for several years. (ref. 17)
Webb's house was advertised for sale in The Daily Courant in 1725. (ref. 45) Besides the 'large fine and commodious new-built … House … with a pleasant Garden adjoining', the advertisement mentioned 'a beautiful new-built Apartment at the further End of the said Garden, through which is a Communication from the House to that Apartment, which also lies next a Street, consisting of a very good Kitchen and other convenient Offices under Ground, over which is but one Floor, containing a very good Dining-Room, Parlour, Withdrawing-Room, and a lodging-Room, all very beautiful and convenient, and both Houses well serv'd with New-River-Water; with good Coach-houses and Stabling adjoining.'
The house was eventually taken by Lord Charles Cavendish, third son of the second Duke of Devonshire, who purchased the freehold in 1738. (ref. 13)

At a date before 1616 Edward Read and others sold specified lands once part of the manor of Draycot Foliat to Noah Evered alias Webb the elder. (fn. 122) The estate lay in the northern half of the parish of Draycot Foliat above the Ridge Way. (fn. 123) In 1616 Noah Evered alias Webb granted a moiety of his estate to his son John, (fn. 124) and before his death in 1641 he had assigned the other moiety to his son Stephen (d. c. 1667).

Dictionary of National Biography:
Possibly the father of Robert Nicholas, Judge baptised 22.11.1597 at All Cannings. Elected member of Devizes in the Long Parliament. In November 1646 he was member of the sub-committee of ac- counts for Wiltshire, and on 30 Oct. 1648 was created by the commons serjeant-at- law ; in the same year he was nominated one of the king's judges, but does not appear to have attended the trial. On 2 May 1649 he was appointed one of the counsel for the Commonwealth against Lilburne, Prynne, and others, and on 1 June became a judge of the upper bench. In 1650 he was commended for the charges he delivered while on circuit. In 1655 Nicholas was made a baron of the exchequer, and on 29 May in the same year was appointed commissioner of oyer and terminer. While on circuit at Salisbury he and others were captured by Colonel Penruddock [q. v.] and his band of royalists, some of whom wished to put them to death on the spot. Other counsels pre- vailed, however, and a detachment of the army soon set them at liberty. In 1657 Nicholas is referred to as chief justice (ib. 1657, p. 156) ; but this is a mis- take, and, according to Noble, Cromwell ' laid him aside.' On 27 Nov. 1658, how- ever, he again appears as a judge, was sent on circuit in 1659, and was restored to the upper bench on 17 Jan. 1659-60. At the Restoration it was proposed to except Nicholas from the Act of Indemnity (Hist. MSS. Comm. App. to 7th Rep. pp. 123*, 137 b, 171 ), but this suggestion was not acted on; a warrant for his pardon was issued, and he frequently appears during 1660 as a member of the commission in Wilt- shire for raising money (Statutes of the Realm, v. 221, 274, 282). On 3 Dec. 1664 he was accused of boasting that he had drawn up the charge against Charles I, and would do so again if needful ; these words were said to have been spoken in May 1664 'behind St. Clement's in the Strand,' and a warrant against him was ap- plied for (Cal. State Papers, Dom. Ser. 1664- 1665, p. 101). The issue is not known, and Nicholas probably died during the next year. He left a son Oliver, who was after- wards knighted, and a daughter Catherine, who married Sir Thomas Brodrick of Wands- worth, Surrey, great-great-grandfather of Alan Brodrick, viscount Midleton [q. v.] (LE NEVE, Pedigrees of Knit/his, p. 102).

....John Hobson, citizen and haberdasher of London conveyed to John Robinson, citizen and merchant taylor of London in 1585. This John Robinson, elected alderman for Aldgate Ward in 1592, died on 19th February, 1600. (ref. 24) His son, John Robinson, died 22nd November, 1609, holding in St. Pancras three closes of pasture (36 acres) in the occupation of Lewis Owen, Knyston and Smith, which he bequeathed (ref. 25) to his third son, William Robinson. He also owned the manor of Denston Hall or Denardiston Hall in Suffolk which went to his eldest son, John Robinson, aged 25. In 1659 William Robinson, then of Great Stanmore, Middlesex, sold (ref. 26) the estate to his nephew, John Robinson of Gravesend. It was then described as Middle Close (13 acres), a close adjoining this on the north side (11 acres), formerly in the occupation of Thomas Cotterell and then of William Blunt, and a close of 10 acres (fn. a) adjoining the last mentioned close on the north. All were in "Portepole" in St. Pancras, near the north end of Gray's Inn Lane, abutting west on the highway and east on Turners Brook [the Fleet] and the "way or Comon there belonging to Kentish Town."

At the east end of the Poultry is Grocers' Alley, formerly Conyhope Lane, of which Stow says : " Then is Conyhope Lane, of old time so called of such a sign of three conies hanging over a poulterer's stall at the lane's end. Within this lane standeth the Grocers' hall, which company being of old time called Pepperers, were first incorporated by the name of Grocers in the year 1345." The Grocers' Hall really opens into Princes Street.
In 1589-90 a Mr. Robinson was 'reputed to be' owner of the property adjoining 32, and the Robinson family continued to hold the freehold of 33-4 and the property in Coneyhope Lane....In 1646 William Robinson, citizen and mercer, owned the Coneyhope Lane property, and probably therefore also 105/33-34. Fletcher occupied this c. 1650, and in 1656, when William Robinson, gentleman, of Stanmore, Middlesex, conveyed his lands by fine to Edward Fenn of Staples Inn, to hold to the use of himself, his heirs and assigns, 33- 34 was described as a messuage or tenement called the Queen's Head in St. Mary Colechurch parish, now or late occupied by Fletcher. Robinson was named as the owner of 34 in a Crown rental of 1664 relating to former chantry properties. (fn. 7) According to the Hearth Tax lists, however, 33-4 was probably occupied in 1662-3, when it had 5 hearths, by John Heginbotham, and in 1666, when it had 6 hearths, by Mr. Perkins. (fn. 8)
William Robinson died in 1667 and the property descended to his 5 daughters, Barbara, wife of Thomas Frere, Katherine, wife of Baptist Piggott, Martha, wife of Henry Eve, D.D., Anne, wife of Thomas Woodroffe, and Mary, wife of Richard Michelborne. In 1668 33-34 was said to be late occupied by John Fletcher, barber, and now by Richard Michelburne. In 1669 a foundation was surveyed for Mr. Michelborow. This consisted of a plot corresponding in size to 2 of the 13th-century stone shops (33 and 34) and an irregularly-shaped plot behind probably corresponding to land leased or granted out of 26 (see above). A strip was cut off the front plot to widen Poultry, measuring 4 ft. 8 in. (1.42 m.) wide at the W. end at 3 ft. 3 in. (990 mm.) at the E. end, containing 56 sq. ft. (5.2 sq. m.). Mr. Michebourne was compensated for this in 1674. (fn. 9)
The property was part of that share of William Robinson's estate which passed to his daughter Mary and her husband Richard Michelborne, citizen and clothworker, and then to their daughter and heir Mary. This Mary married William Orde, citizen and stationer, and in 1697, as Orde's widow, was about to marry John Howe son of John Howe, citizen and draper. Her mother Mary was still alive in 1697, married to Peter Vink. The property, a messuage built at the expense of Richard Michelborne and now occupied by Joshua Sharp or his undertenants, formed part of the younger Mary's marriage settlement in 1697. (fn. 10)
