7. History of the Divorce, MS., ascribed to him by Le Grand in his
answer to Dr. Burnet, was more probably the work of Dr. Nic. Harpsfield.
Harpsfield, John, D.D., born in Old Fish Street, in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, London, was the grandson of
Nicholas Harpsfield, Esq. This gentleman in 1472 was in the
custody of Bishop Wayneflete, and detained in the episcopal
prison of Wolvesey Castle, having been indicted and convicted
of homicide, and subsequently claimed from the king's prison as
a clerk by the bishop, in accordance with the ecclesiastical laws,
as entitled to the benefit of clergy. The offence was committed
at Windsor Castle on Aug. 21, 1471, and the bishop's commission for his purgation and delivery from Wolvesey prison is dated Aug. 29, 1472, so that he probably obtained his release before the close of the year.
Brothers to Alice?? John born 1516?
John Harpsfield studied his classics with his younger brother
Nicholas, at Winchester School. Thence removing to New
College, Oxford, he was made a fellow in 1534, and completed
his degrees in arts. Afterwards he was appointed chaplain to-
Dr. Bonner, Bishop of London, and being inducted into a good
benefice in that diocese, resigned his fellowship about I550
In the beginning of Mary's reign, having been created
D.D., he was promoted to the archdeaconry of London, about
1554, in the place of John Wymsley. In 1558, shortly
before the queen's death, he was made dean of Christ Church,
Norwich, the former dean, John Boxall, having other duties to-
perform.
When Elizabeth ascended the throne Dr. Harpsfield was
obliged to resign his deanery to John Salisbury, suffragan of
Thetford, in I560. He was then committed prisoner to the
Fleet, where he remained about a year, when he was discharged
upon finding surety that he should not act, speak, or write
against the established church. The remainder of his life was
spent in great retirement and devotion in the house of one of
his relations in St. Sepulchre's parish, where he died, Aug. 19,
1578.
He was buried in the parish church, as appears from the
letters of administration taken out by his nearest relative, Anne
Worsopp. It was probably at this lady's house that he resided.
She was the widow of John Worsopp, gent, and daughter of
Richard Baron, Esq., citizen and mercer of London, by his wife,
Alice Harpsfield. This Baron's father, Peter, of Saffron Walden,
co. Essex, was a serjeant-at-law, and was drowned in the Thames.
Fox charges Dr. Harpsfield with persecution, but it must be
remembered that he was obliged to carry out the measures
against the so-called reformers by virtue of his office. There is
no record that he exceeded the commands of the Council, or
that he infused animosity into their execution.

vol. ii. ; Maitland, Reformation; Tablet, vol. xlvii. p. 536;
Harl. Soc., Visit, of Lond., 1568.
.....Harpsfield, Nicholas, D.D., confessor of the faith, a native
of London, was, like his elder brother John, educated at Win-
chester and New College, Oxford. After serving two years' pro-
bation at the latter, he was admitted true and perpetual fellow
in 1536, about which time he commenced to study civil and
canon law, in which he rose to great eminence. In 1544, being
then bachelor of civil law, he was elected principal of White
Hall, and two years later, in 1546, he was appointed king's
professor of Greek by Henry VIII. During the reign of
Edward VI. he was in exile, but returned when Mary succeeded
to the crown. In that year, 1553, he took the degree of LL.D.,
resigned his fellowship, and practised in the Court of Arches. In
1554, being then prebendary of St. Paul's, he was appointed
archdeacon of Canterbury, in place of Edmund Cranmer, brother
to the archbishop, who was deprived on account of marriage.
He became judge of the Court of Arches, and also dean of the
peculiars of Canterbury in 1558, having been made a pre-
bendary Nov. 1, 1558, just before the queen's death.
After the accession of Elizabeth, Dr. Harpsfield was one of
the seven Catholic divines elected to defend the Catholic cause
against the Protestant party in a conference devised to give an
appearance of fairness to the intended subversion of the ancient
faith. Immediately afterwards he was committed prisoner to
the Tower for his refusal to acknowledge the ecclesiastical
supremacy of the sovereign, and there he was kept during the
remainder of his life. The date of his death has been variously
stated, but from some obituary notices written by a contemporary
in a psalterium in the library of Exeter College, Oxford, it
appears that he died Dec. 18, 1575.

1543 HARPSFIELD STE LONDON (ST NICHOLAS ACONS) LONDON
John Harpsfield, a grand zealot, for the Roman Catholick religion, was born in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen in Old Fishstreet, London, was educated at Wikekam's school near Winchester, thence admitted perpetual fellow of New college in Oxford in 1534, and having taken his degrees in arts, entered into holy orders, was made chaplain to Bonner Bishop of London, whose cruelty he much followed; it being observed, that as Bonner was the most severe of all bishops against hereticks, (as they were then called,) so was his chapIain, of all archdeacons, which was the reason he deservedly fared the worse for it at the restoration of the Protestant religion by Queen Elizabeth,
About 1551, he quitted his fellowship, having then taken his degree of bachelor of divinity, as he did that of doctor, April 20, 1554, in which year his patron Bonner collated him to the archdeaconry of London ;3 and on the 4th of May following, to the c hurch of Ladgate ; and the 26th of the same month, to the prebend of liolbourn in the church of St. Paul.
In 1558, May 16, he was nominated by Philip and Mary niw of Norwich; * and about the same time, resigning his church of St. Martin Ludgate, was collated to the rectory of Laingdon, with Basilden chapel in Essex; and on the 10th of Dec. following, to the prebend of JWapabury, in the said church of St. Paul; of all which preferments, he was deprived by Queen Elizabeth, and was committed prisoner to the Fleet, where he laid above a year, and was then released upon security given, that he should not act, speak, or write, against the doctrine of the church of England, which engagement he strictly kept; upon this, retiring to the house of a near relation of his, that dwelt in St. Sepulcre's parish, in the suburbs of London, he spent the remainder of his days, in great retiredness and devotion, and dying there in 1578, was buried in that parish church.

Intended to illustrate and preserve several valuable remains of old times. Chiefly compiled by, or under the direction of, Francis Grose, Thomas Astle and other eminent antiquaries "
The Will of Mary Row:
DAME MARY ROE, nee GRESHAM. I find that Mary Gresham, who married Sir Thomas Rowe or Roe, was closely connected with no fewer than three Lord Mayors of London. 1. Her father, Sir John Gresham, was Lord Mayor of London. He was brother of Sir Richard Gresham, also Lord Mayor, besides being uncle to the famous Sir Thomas Gresham, founder of the Royal Exchange, and Lord Mayor of London. 2. Her husband, Sir Thomas Rowe or Roe, was Lord Mayor of London, in 1568. 3. Her son Sir Henry Rowe or Roe was Lord Mayor of London. Here we have a case of a lady whose father, whose husband, and whose son were all Lord Mayors of London. Are there any parallels ? C. H. M.
THE Will of Dame Mary Rowe, widow, late wife of Sir Thomas Rowe, Knight, late citizen and alderman of London, deceased, (dated 21 March, 1579, 22 Eliz.)

Manuscript description
Register of births and deaths in the Honywood family, and biography of Thomas Godfrey written by his daughter Mary Honywood
.....In doing so, she transfers the blame for these disputes away from her father and on to his eldest son, Peter, Peter's widow, Dorothy (never identified by name in Honywood's account), Dorothy's second husband, Sir Thomas Hamon, and Peter's sons, Thomas and Peter. The theme of filial and marital duty thus preoccupies her account, and is already evident in the preparatory matter to the biography.

BONETTI, ROCCO
An Italian fencing master teaching in London during the late 16th century.
Master of a school of fence at Blackfriars in London during the late 1500's. He was critically injured by Austen Bagger, an Englishman, outside of the school. ... He set up a school in London in 1576, calling it a "colledge". His students were typically "Noblemen & Gentlemen of the Court", and his colledge reflected this. It was decorated with the devices of his students and there was a writing desk with stationary and even a clock, clearly reflecting a clientelle beyond the hopes of the London Masters. [36] Bonetti's patrons included Sir Walter Raleigh, and one of the Queen's best swordsmen, Lord Peregrin Willoughby, both men of high stature. [37]
L.b.446 Farrant, Richard. d. 1580. Autograph letter signed. To Sir William More at Loseley. London. August 27, [1576].
Farrant requests the lease of a "howse in ye blakefriers late in ye L. Cobhams handes...if ye Italian [i.e. Rocco Bonetti] may be removid". He further asks permission to "pull downe one perticion & so make of too roomes one." Being successful in his request, he later converted these rooms into a theatre for the Children of the Chapel Royal (H.N. Hillebrand, Child actors, 1926, pp. 90-94). 1 fol.; 30.5 × 20.5 cm. (Film Fo 321.162)
L.b.37 Raleigh, Sir Walter. 1552-1618. Letter signed to Sir William More. ca. 1585.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.
TWO LIVES LOST.
A MOST distressing accident, by which a family have been plunged into deep grief, occurred about half-past five o clock on Saturday last. Mr. Parfitt, coach maker, of William-street, with his two sons, daughter, and a youth named Potter, went on the water for the purpose of fishing, and had dropped their kellick about thirty yards from the shore off Potts' Point. While there several sailing boats came up the harbour, passing between Garden Island and the point, and amongst them was the yacht Blue Belle, with her owner (Mr. Watson, cordial manufacturer,) on board, followed by another yacht, but whether racing or not at the time, we have not ascertained. As the Blue Belle neared Potts' Point, Mr. Watson observed a small dingy put off from the shore, and in endeavour- ing to avoid her he passed close to Mr. Parfitt's boat, and the sail jibing at the time, the boom of the Blue Belle caught the mast, which had not been lowered, and dragged her over, when she immediately filled and went down. The dingy with a boy in her, went to the assistance of those in the water, and Mr. Parfitt laid hold of her, but the boy, fearing she would swamp, told him to let go, and, for the safety of Miss Parfitt, forced him off-but he was immediately picked up by another boat. As it is almost impossible to pick up drowning persons in a sailing boat, Mr. Watson bore down for Holds worth's boat-house, jumped into a pulling boat, and proceeded to the Point. By the time, however, he arrived there, several other boats were on the spot and had had succeeded in rescuing Mr. Parfitt and young Potter ; but, melancholy to state, Mr. Parfitt's two sons, aged respectively about twelve and fifteen years, were drowned. The body of the younger was drawn up attached to a fishing-line about twenty minutes after the occurrence, and taken to the Subscription Boathouse, when medical aid was immediately procured, and every effort made by Drs. Berncastle (who was in one of the boats) and Milford to restore animation, but without avail, though these gentlemen continued their exertions for a considerable time. The body of the elder boy has not yet been recovered, and it is supposed that his legs also became entangled in the fishing-lines. Boats were out dragging all day yesterday over and around the spot where the melancholy accident occurred. The boat belonged to Mr. Parfitt's eldest son, and had a large quantity of ballast on board. This sudden bereavement, has excited the deepest com- miseration and sympathy in the neighbourhood for those who have been thus unexpectedly called upon to mourn the early and untimely death of their children.

MANSLAUGHTER.
(Abridged from the Empire, March 28.)
Yesterday, the case of William Watson, and William Paul, charged by Inspector Singleton with causing the death of a boy named Jasper Parfitt, was after a very lengthened and tedious examination brought to a close. The charge had its origin in the boat accident which took place on the 25th February last, and in consequence of which Mr. Parfitt's two sons, lads of tender years, were drowned. The defendant Watson is the owner of the yacht Blue Bell, which occasioned the accident referred to, and Paul was the only other party in the boat at the time. Mr. Roberts appeared for the defendants; and on the case being opened Mr. Ross, with whom was associated Major Lockyer, inquired whether there was no prosecutor to conduct the case for the Crown. The answer being in the negative, their Worships proceeded with the case. At this stage Mr. Roberts applied to have the charges against the two defendants prosecuted separately in order that the evidence of either party might be taken in ex- planation of the conduct of both. Unless this were done the defendants must necessarily be prejudiced in making their defence, inasmuch as their mouths would be closed to the extent of precluding them offering any evidence whatever. At the inquest, when the coroner's jury found a verdict of accidental death by drowning, one of the defendants (Paul) was allowed to give evidence in exculpation of himself and his now codefendant. Why should not the same course be adopted on the present occasion, more especially as no inconvenience could arise by acting on the simple suggestion he had thrown out ? Their Worships stated that they could not assent to this propo- sition, and the case was accordingly continued. After Inspector Singleton had given his evidence, which was of a pro forma character, John Aaron Parfitt was called and examined by Mr. Ross. Among other questions sub- mitted, his Worship was about to interrogate him with reference to a conversation which had taken place when the defendants were not present, and Mr. Roberts objected on the ground that evidence of that kind was not legal. Mr. Ross remarked that this was merely a ministerial in- quiry, and he would persist in putting any questions he thought necessary to a thorough elucidation of the case. Mr. Roberts contended that whether ministerially or judicially his Worship had no right to take evidence, which according to all the rules of law was clearly illegal. His Worship then further remarked that as there was no Prosecutor for the Crown in this case, he felt bound to watch it the more closely, adding, "I am only sorry I should find myself pitted against you, Mr. Roberts." Mr. Roberts-"Pitted against me, your Worship! Does your Worship mean to say that you are acting in this case both as Crown Prosecutor and Judge ?" Mr. Ross repeated in substance what he said before. Mr. Parfitt then proceeded to state that he knew Watson personally, but not the other defendant, that on the 25th February last, he went down the har- bour in a boat, a little past Potts' Point, where he dropped the kellick, for the purpose of fishing. He was accompanied by his daughter, two sons, and a boy named Potter; they had been there about twenty minutes before the accident occurred. His two sons were sitting in the head of the boat ; young Potter was sitting on the other side ahead of him ; and his daughter was sitting in the stern; witness was sitting with his face to the stern, and heard his boys say there were yachts coming up. He looked round and saw three. The first passed off shore, about 20 inches from his boat, which was about 40 or 50 yards from the shore. The second passed soon after in the same way, but at a greater distance. The wind was south-east at the time, and the yachts were running free. They were coming up the harbour, apparently with a view of going into Woolloomooloo Bay. In a minute or so after he saw a third yacht, which turned out to be the Blue Bell, containing the two defendants. Like the others she was running free, and as a matter of course her boom was out. When she approached so closely as to involve a reasonable apprehension of danger he called out to the steersman ; but owing, he supposed, to the distance between them, that party did not hear him. He, however, continued to call out until the collision took place. The last time he shouted he requested the defendant (Watson) to haul in his boom ; but the yacht having passed on the inside, the sails pre- vented those on board from seeing witness's boat, and as the collision took place witness laid his right arm on the mast of his own boat, which was standing, and his left on the boom of the yacht, whioh was about 15 feet in length. About five feet of the boom, however, caught the mast in witness's boat, and turned her over on the side, when she immediately commenced to fill. The yacht did not jibe, and continued to hold on her course after the accident ocourred. When he found the boat filling, he called out to the children to lay hold of the oars, exclaiming, " The yacht is gone " The result was the death of his two boys. Immediately after the accident he saw a dingy rounding the sailing boat, to which, it would seem, the defendant's attention had been directed. -Cross-examined : Did not think that either of the defendants saw him or his boat, or any one on board ; nor did he think they had any intention of running him down ; nor would he undertake to swear that if the yacht had not taken the precise course it did it would not have run down the dingy. When he laid hold of the boom was the first time he saw Mr. Watson. Rose Anne Parfitt corroborated the foregoing statement. Richard Eastway deposed that he was on the water at the time the acci- dent occurred, but saw no dingy until he saw the one which came off to the rescue. Richard Harnett stated that on the occasion in question, he was out sailing in the yacht Australian, in company with three other yachts, namely, the Kate, Ida, and Blue Bell. They were sail- ing up from the Heads. The Australian passed offshore about a yard from Parfitt's boat. The second was the Kate, which passed inside of his on the same course. The third was the Blue Bell, which was about 100 yards astern of his yacht, and which passed on the inner side. He saw nothing of her course himself at the time the accident occurred, until someone in his boat cried out "there will be a collision." He eventually saw the boom of the Blue Bell take Parfitt's mast, and immediately afterwards he saw a dingy pro- ceeding from the shore, apparently to the rescue. If the yacht had jibed, she must have struck Parfitt's boat with her hull. Henry Potter, a boy about eleven years old, substantiated the evidence of Mr. Parfitt, in much the same way as he did at the inquest. Cornelius Hickey, who rescued Miss Parfitt and Mr. Parfitt, stated that he was pulling in the dingy when the accident occurred, but was very close to the shore, and was not in the way of any of the yachts; that he called out to the man steering the Blue Bell to haul in his main sheet, but received no answer. This being the case for the Crown, Mr. Roberts said he would not call any witnesses for the defence. It was quite clear, he contended, that the intention of the defendants was not to run down the boat,and that their attention was directed exclusively to the boy Hickey in the dingy, who from the uncertainty of his movements might possibly have brought himself into danger. It must be borne in mind moreover, that the Blue Bell was holding the course usually pursued by sailing boats, whilst on the other hand there was not a particle of evidence to show that the defendants had the slightest idea as to the position of Mr. Parfitt's boat. The Bench said they thought a sufficient prima facie case had been made out for the consideration of the Attorney-General, and they there- fore committed the defendants to take their trial, bail of course being allowed.
CENTRAL POLICE COURT.
MONDAY
BEFORE, Mr. Ross and Major Lockyer.
William Watson, and William Paul appeared on summons to answer an information by inspector Singleton, in which they were charged with having, on the 25th February last, by wilful misconduct, or gross negligence, whilst in a certain yacht called the Blue Bell, in the harbour of Port Jackson, caused the death, by drowning, of one Jasper Parfitt, of the age of eleven years, who was within a certain other boat then and there lying in the said harbour, contrary to the statute in such case made and provided. Mr. Roberts appeared for the defendants. The evidence was as nearly as possible the same as given at the Coroner's inquest, but as possibly this may fall into the hands of some who may not have seen that report, we give the evidence of the principal witness, the father of the deceased. John A. Parfitt deposed that, on Saturday, the 23th February, he, with his daughter, his two sons, and a youth named Potter, went down the harbour for the purpose of fishing ; arrived at Potts' Point, they threw out a kellick, and continued fishing about forty yards from the shore ; his daughter sat in the after part of the boat, his two sons in the head, he (witness) and Potter about a-midships ; in about twenty minutes one of his sons said that some yachts were coming up -- he did not say how many; there were three yachts; the first yacht came up and passed about twenty to thirty inches, and the second about sixty feet outside wit- ness's boat, in a direction from Bradley's Head into Woolloomooloo Bay; the third, the Blue Bell, fol- lowed, sailing before the wind, quite free, with booms out, and as she neared he saw that unless she altered her course she would run him down, and called out at the top of his voice, to make the people on board sensible of his danger; he saw only one man, and he was in the bows, but not looking ahead; his attention was directed inshore, and, witness thought, to a boy in a dingy, who was also very near to the Blue Bell, as he observed a slight alteration of her course; as he did not appear to hear, witness continued to call, but no notice was taken of him by the man in the bows; he could not see the steersman ; the yacht kept or her way until he with one hand laid hold of her boom, holding his own mast with the other ; the boom struck his mast about five feet above the gun- -wale, lifting the forepart of the boat out of water, and throwing the after part under water; whether or not the yacht pulled up he could not say, but seeing that his daughter was in the water he sprang after her, and continued with her until the lad in the dingy -- who on the passing of the yacht was very close to his (witness's) boat-picked them up; he did not see either of his sons again alive; the attention of the man in the bows of the yacht had evidently been directed to the boy in the dingy the dingy was 'closer than his boat to the yacht; at the time of the collision he saw two persons in the yacht - Watson steering and Paul in the bows. On cross examination Mr. Parfitt said he could not swear that either defendant saw him or his boat until after the accident -- he rather thought to the contrary, nor could he swear that had the yacht continued her first course the dingy would not have been run down; his mast was fixed; if it had been down the accident would not have happened; he used the word " accident" because, to him, it was an accident; it occurred from the want of a proper look-out by the persons in the yacht; so far as Watson is concerned, he could not charge him with negligence or misconduct, but he looked upon the conduct of the man in the bows (Paul) as reckless ; he believed that neither of them heard him before the collision ; there was a smartish breeze at the time, which may have carried his voice in the contrary direction ; not knowing the capabilities of the Blue Bell he could not say in how short a time, or within what distance she could be turned about; Mr. Watson has manifested a good deal of sympathy and kind feeling since the accident; he said that he was steering to avoid the dingy, and was not aware of any other boat being near. The evidence of Rose Ann Parfitt was similar to that of her father, with the addition of one fact not previously noticed -- that the boom of the yacht came into collision with the mast about three feet from the end, and that then the hull of the yacht was at a distance of about thirty feet from the boat. In committing the defendants for trial, Mr. Ross said that, although he did not attribute any blame to Watson he would not take upon himself the responsibility of discharging him. Bail allowed.

Original Text:
884. JAMES GRAHAM was indicted for feloniously stealing, on the 28th of October, a handkerchief, value 7 s. the property of John Barnet , from his person .
JOHN BARNET . I am a surgeon in St. John-street. On the 28th of October I was passing from the Strand into Fleet-street, and as I was passing through Temple Bar, a man, who was carrying a basket before me. His basket was knocked down by design, more than by accident, and as I turned round I saw the prisoner and his companion behind me. I recollected that I had some papers and valuable things about me. I pursued my way home. When I got near the corner of Fetter-lane, happening to look about accidentally, I saw the prisoner again, and his companion. I considered then that they were suspicious characters. I endeavoured to get before them. I wished to get further from them. I went off the pavement, and just at the corner of Shoe-lane, supposing I was out of their reach, I felt a sudden tug at my pocket. I immediately turned round. The prisoner was at my right hand. I saw my handkerchief drop from him on the ground. His companion at that moment was rather before me. I instantly collared the prisoner, and I picked up the handkerchief off the prisoner's feet. I took him myself to the officer in Poppins-court. He made no resistance. His companion followed me to the officer's door. I found the officer, and I gave him in charge, and I gave the officer the handkerchief.
EDWARD CRESWLLL . I am an officer in the City. The prisoner was delivered in charge to me, by Mr. Barnet. He charged him with picking his
See original pocket. The prisoner declared he was innocent. I took the prisoner to the Compter. I have kept the handkerchief ever since. This is the handkerchief.
Prosecutor. This is the handkerchief. It was taken from my pocket. It cost me fourteen shillings.
Prisoner's Defence. The prosecutor accused me of picking his pocket. I saw the handkerchief drop from a person's hand. I told him I was not the person. I had no companion with me.
GUILTY , aged 25.
Transported for Life .
London jury, before Mr. Common Serjeant.

10th January, 1814(Lieutenant Charles Jeffreys)
"...has arrived in port afer a tedious passage of 9 months and 8 days from Porthsmouth having met with calms and heavy gales etc.
I beg to send you an account of our stoppages during the above voyage, as also my reasons for so doing. At Madeirs, from 21stJune - 3rd July in consequences of M.M.S.INCONSTANT under whose orders I was, having gone there.
At Rio-de-Janeiro, from 29th August to 20th September, put in for refreshments and to get the brig caulked in every part of her upperworks, they having proved leaky in consequences of her having been built of green wood. At the Cape of Good Hope from 3rd to 13th November for filling of water and getting refreshments, which the woman passengers stood in great need of, and to refit our rigging which had been standed and carried away in several parts owing to the heavy gales of wind met with during 45 days passage to that place.
I have the happiness to add that we only met with two deaths, both children not 18months old.
Elizabeth is listed in the 1814 muster, the 1822 muster, the 1825 muster and the 1828 census. During this time the convict John Wood is continually released and resentenced until a final pardon in 1847. No record of his death to date.
In the 1828 Colonial Census, at the same address as Elizabeth, is James Graham and James Jnr. aged two years. It is possible that James Graham, a convict who also arrived on the "Earl Spencer" is the father of at least James and Louisa. Louisa Adelaide's baptism certificate of 1848 lists James Graham as her father.
At the time of her death in 1857 Eliza Leach is residing with her son-in-law, John Jones of Forbes Street, Woolloomooloo.

1623 ROBERTS WM ATEE ELNR WILLESDEN MIDDLESEX
Sir William Roberts (1605-1662), of Neasden House at Willesden in Middlesex, was an English Member of Parliament.
He entered Gray's Inn in 1622, and was knighted in 1624. He had also augmented his estate by his marriage to Eleanor, daughter and heir of Robert Atye, with land in Hampstead and Kilburn. He retained his property after the Restoration, taking leases of the prebends when they reverted to the prebendaries, and leaving a significant fortune on his death.
His son William was made a baronet (in his father's lifetime), on 4 October 1661.

He was afterwards called by him to the Upper House (fn. 60). Sir William Roberts lived in a mansion house at Neasdon, which, according to a tradition (for which there is no other ground, it is most probable, than some occasional visit) was the residence of Oliver Cromwell.
