SEAL OF THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON From a cast at the British Museum THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON THEIR HISTORY WITH THE REGISTER OF THEIR CONVENT AND AN APPENDIX OF DOCUMENTS BY CHARLES LETHBRIDGE KINGSFORD, M.A. EDITOR OP "STOW'S SURVEY OP LONDON" ABERDEEN: THE UNIVERSITY PRESS 191S Kci PREFACE. The original purpose of this volume was to furnish the complete text of the so-called Register of the Grey Friars of London in Cotton MS. Vitellius F.J^ But the need for an Introduction dealing with their House and its history has led to the accumulation of other material so considerable as to make the adoption of a wider title expedient. I am under a great debt to Mr. A. G. Little for much valuable advice and criticism, as well as for various notes. Dr. Philip Norman has kindly supplied me with some additional information as to the conduits and water- supply. To the courtesy of Dr. Norman Moore I owe the valuable material derived from The Repertory Book at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. To the article by the late Mr. E. B. S. Shepherd on " The Church of the Friars Minors in London," which appeared in The Arch- ceological Journal in 1902, I must acknowledge a special obligation ; it is his expert piecing together of the information contained in the first part of the Register that has restored for us the ground-plan of the Church. The skill with which Mr. H. W. Cribb heis used the material which I put before him has led to a remark able restoration of the plan of a great part of the other buildings. C. L.

THE REGISTER. For the history of the Grey Friars of London we have a singular advantage in the survival of the so-called " Register" of their house in Cotton. MS. Vitellius, F xii., the contents of which are now for the first time published in their entirety. It is not strictly speaking a "Register" in the sense of a record of deeds and documents relating to the Convent. It might rather in modern speech be described as a Collection of Materials for the History of the Grey Friars of London ; and even this would be a mis-description in so far as the Collection includes some matter which, though of interest for general Franciscan history, has no direct bearing on the fortunes of the London house. The "Register" consists of three sections : (i) A carefully compiled record of the tombs in the church. (2) The Register proper, giving a brief account of the foundation of the Con vent and of its buildings, with a summary of deeds relating to the site. (3) Materials relating to general Franciscan history. The whole as it now stands was put together by a friar of the house about 1526; this date is fixed by the fact that the notices of interments later than that year appear to be additions to the original record ; but an attempt seems to have been made to keep up this part of the record by the regular entry of further burials down to 1530; possibly the compiler himself died about that time. The few entries of later date appear to be in another hand. The volume may have been taken away from the Convent after the surrender in 1538 by one of the friars, to whom is perhaps due the addition of the so-called VOL. VI. I 2 THE GREY tRIARS OF LONDON Chronicle of the Greyfriars, from 1189 to 1556, which is con tained in the same volume. This Chronicle, which is written throughout in one hand, is in its earlier part (down to 1 509) a somewhat brief London Chronicle of an ordinary type with only a few insertions relating to the friars. From 1509 to 1 5 2 1 there is little more than the names of the mayors and sheriffs. Afterwards it is somewhat fuller down to the time of the Surrender in 1538. For the last eighteen years it be comes an original authority of great value, but the history of that period does not of course concern us here. We must re gret that the compiler has not told us more of the last days of his Convent ; all that he gives are a few bald statements of no great importance. The Chronicle of the Greyfriars was edited somewhat imperfectly by J. G. Nichols for the Camden Society in 1852, and in a better manner by Mr. Howlett in the second volume oi Monumenta Franciscana in 1882. Even if it were an integral part of the " Register " there would be no occasion to reprint it again. Turning to the "Register" it will be most convenient to deal with the second and third sections first, reserving comment on the list of burials till the end. The second section opens with a brief account of the early history of the Convent, bor rowed from Thomas of Eccleston. There then follows a sum mary of deeds relating to the site, betwfeen 1225 and 1353. This was no doubt drawn up from the original documents preserved in the Convent. Next the compiler commemorates the donors of the early buildings, and the beginnings of the church during the thirteenth century. There then follows a brief account of the conduits, with a copy, as it would seem, of a fourteenth-century document describing the course of the water pipes. To this last chapter are appended various notes on the rebuilding of the " Studies," the benefactions of Henry Waleys, etc. The fifth chapter deals with the founders of the new church. In the next three chapters we have a list of the windows and their donors, notes on the dimensions of the church, with a record of the foundation of the Library, and of other benefactions procured by Friar Thomas Wynchelsey early THE REGISTER 3 in the fifteenth century. The second section closes with Eng lish versions of two fourteenth-century leases of the Newgate Street frontage of the site to the City, and a memorandum as to a further lease of a small strip of ground in 1529. All this part of the Register was no doubt drawn up by the compiler as a convenient memorial of the records of his house. It is clearly for the most part no more than a reproduction of older documents. The third section contains lists of Martyrs of the Order, Saints of the Order, Bishops and Cardinals who were not Generals of the Order, Popes and Cardinals who had been Generals, Generals of the Order, Ministers of the English Pro vince, Kings and Princes who entered the Order, Englishmen of rank and position who entered the Order, Sisters of the Order of Poor Clare who had been beatified, Tertiaries of the Order who had been canonised. This section is no more original than the previous one. Similar lists are to be found elsewhere, notably in Cotton. MS. Nero, A ix., a volume which belonged to the Franciscans of Hereford. In the list of Martyrs it is mentioned that the Acts of Friar Otto and his companions are preserved in the Convent ; they are to be found in Nero, A ix. ; no doubt the Grey Friars ofLondon possessed a similar col lection from which these lists were extracted. Some indication can be obtained of the dates at which these lists were originally compiled. The list of Martyrs contains no name of later date than 1 39 1. The list of Saints must have been drawn up at the end of the fifteenth century, for it includes Giacomo della Marca, who died in 1476. The list of Bishops and Cardinals can be fixed to 1472-1473, for it refers to Pietro di Riario in the present tense. A similar reference to Sixtus IV. in the next list fixes it to 1 471- 1480. The list of Generals seems to have ended originally with Francesco di Savona (Sixtus IV.) ; the four last names, to judge from the absence ot de scriptive notes, are additions ; even thus the list ends at 1 506. These three lists were probably drawn up at the same time, and may therefore be assigned to 1472. The list of Provincials may probably have ended originally with Thomas Radnor, 4 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON as does the list in Nero, A ix.^ If that was so we have some explanation of the difificulties and apparent omissions in the concluding part of the list as now given in the Register.^ The three final lists call for no special comment. They con tain no names of later date than the fourteenth century. The first section of the Register, containing the list of monuments, to which we now return is, on the whole, the most interesting and valuable part of the collection. The re pute of the Grey Friars Church made it a favoured place for the burial of persons of rank, of the upper class of London citizens, and of Italian merchants who died in London ; many of these last were buried in the Chapel of St. Francis. Hence we get a record of extraordinary value for the historian and genealogist. But this does not exhaust its importance. The care and pre cision with which it was compiled enables us to derive from it information of the greatest value for a restoration of the plan and arrangement of the church. The list is in divisions ac cording as the monuments were situated in the Choir, its Chapels, the Belfry or Walking-place, the Altars, the Nave, and the Cloisters. In each division the tombs are described ac cording to position with such minute care that by carefully working out the place of each tomb, Mr. Shepherd was able to restore with practical certitude the whole of the internal ar rangements of the church.^ In the Choir the high altar and arcading furnish data for the placing of the tombs in the list, and the position of each tomb is commonly marked in relation to the one that went before, either as immediately adjoining on the left or right, or at an interval of so many feet. In the Chapels, where the tombs were more numerous, they were ar ranged in orderly rows. The compiler has described them ac cordingly, fixing each row by reference to one of the windows. A similar method is followed for the tombs in the Walking- place. In the Altars the description is by rows, but with reference to the several chapels in which the tombs were situated. In the Nave we are given first the tombs in the 1 De Adventu, ed. Little, p. 148. 2 See pp. 39.42, below. 3 See Archaological Journal, lix., 238-287. THE REGISTER S centre by rows with reference to the arches and columns. Then we have the tombs in the north and south aisles re spectively, the rows being described by reference to the windows. Since vacant spaces are carefully indicated, the laying down of the tombs would afford a tolerably accurate ground plan of the church. Smaller details are supplied by occasional references to doorways;^ to the lectern^ and stalls ; 3 to the sedilia in the Chapel of the Altar of St. Mary ; * to the scannum or low stone-table or bench against the wall ; ^ to an image of St. Mary in the north aisle of the Nave;^ and to the Altar (that of St. Louis) in the south aisle. ^ In the notices of the tombs descriptions, such as in tumba elevata, sub magna lapide, are often given. These explain themselves. The point of the frequent description of a tomb as in piano is less clear ; presumably it means on the level, but since a great part of the church must have been practi cally paved with tombstones this seems rather superflu ous. In a few cases we meet with further descriptions, such as cum dupplici scriptura (Margaret de Redvers), lapidis exarati multis litteris (Peter Mounford), lapide insculpto litteris (Juliana Trug), lapis insculptus litteris quondam legibilibus (Henry Wodylston) ; ^ these tombs had presumably something peculiar, since the notices in the Register are clearly copied from the inscriptions. Other descriptions give the ornamentation : as lapide cruce exarato (William Wydford) ; lapide cum, cruce (Nicholaa de Sulham, and John Newman) ; lapide cum armis Regine (John Vye) ; lapide bene ornato (Peter Pronan de Carig- nano) ; lapide insculpto imagine mulieris (Typhania) ; lapide cum semi-Imagine mulieris (Amy de Munchensi).^ The monu ments of Queen Isabella, Richard Hastings, Walter, Lord Mountjoy, Sir John Robsart, and John Norbury have the des cription tumba elevata de alabastro.^" The tombs of Mountjoy and Robsart clearly had efifigies, since we have the description ^ See pp. 72, 73, 88, and no. ^ gee p. 73. s ggg pp. 73, 74. * See p. 108.

For another raised tomb (that of John, Lord Cobham) we have the addition sub cruce.^ There seems no doubt but that the Register commonly re produces the actual inscriptions (or the essential part of them). This might be conjectured from the simplest formula, such as "jacet venerabilis vir Johannes Elmestede de Southsex," ^ where only " hie " is omitted. But very commonly the name appears in the genitive case, as "jacet sub lapide Stephani Gotchere, ciuis et carnificis Londonie " ; ^ here the original must have had " hie jacet corpus," or " orate pro anima," or some similar phrase. This peculiarity (which is even retained in the Index) gives the list a certain interest as a faithful re production. But the reproduction was perhaps mechanical (or even ignorant) rather than deliberate; it is not always con sistent, and as a consequence we get difificulties of grammatical construction, which it is hopeless to regularise. Another trouble of a similar kind is the use of " qui " apparently with reference to women ; this may probably be due to careless transcription through the use on the originals of the same abbreviation for "qui "and "que". However, these peculi arities seldom cause any real difificulty, and it has seemed best to let them stand without any attempt to restore a consistent system. They are at all events evidence of the literal ac curacy of the Register. It would, of course, be difficult to check or detect errors in such a record. In a few cases I have been able to correct an error, as " Roger Bayraon " for " Roger Beyvin".* The failure to identify a name may, in some instances, be due to some undiscovered error. But the pro portion of names which have been identified in other places is so large as to put the substantial accuracy of the list beyond question. When the compiler had finished his list, he con structed an Index, partly alphabetical and partly based on the place of burial. In some respects this Index is made super- 1 See p. io6. 2 gee p. 108. 'Seep. 119. Compare the record and the actual inscription for Margery Chamberleyn, given on p. 87 below. * See p. 102. Probably the inscription was difficult to decipher, for the Eng lish List has the same error. THE REGISTER 7 fluous by the provision of a modern apparatus ; but the classi fication by place is not without a certain value of its own, and in the defective state of the manuscript the Index is sometimes of value for determining doubtful points ; moreover, it gives occasionally some description not contained in the text, and even adds a few names. It has, therefore, appeared worth while to print it in full, and so make the publication of the Register complete. The tombs lay thickest in the Chapels of St. Mary and St. Francis, in the Walking-place, the Altars, and the north aisle of the Nave. In these parts of the church the floor must have been nearly paved with the tombstones. The All- Hallows Chapel was almost full, except for a vacant space at the west end, where was the passage to the Vestry. In all there are 765 interments recorded in the Register. Of these only 1 2 belong to the thirteenth century ; 97 to the fourteenth ; no less than 302 to the fifteenth; 162 to the sixteenth; the balance of 1 92 are of uncertain date. In the Choir lay buried Queens Margaret and Isabella, with other royal persons, people of rank and prominent benefactors, including five provincial ministers. About half of the tombs in the Choir can be assigned to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The next most honourable places were the Chapels, the Walking- place, and the Altars. Here were nearly all the rest of the early tombs. In the Nave there were only three tombs of the thirteenth and three of the fourteenth centuries. The All- Hallows Chapel was the favourite place for the burial of the Guardians ; out of twelve recorded six were buried here, one in the Apostles Chapel, two in the Walking-place, two in the Altars, and Jule alone in the Choir. ^ Of the fifteenth-century tombs nearly half, and of the sixteenth-century tombs more than half, were in the Nave or Cloisters ; of the tombs of un certain date nearly two-thirds belong to these parts of the church and its precincts. The tombs in the Cloister were mostly those of friars, the majority of them being undated. It is not to be supposed that the burial of people of moderate ^ I omit the doubtful names of Shrewsbury and Studley. 8 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON rank in the church had begun only with the fifteenth century. This absence of ancient tombs in the Nave points to the pro bability that the old tombs of unimportant persons became defaced with age and were removed to make room for new burials. Probably some of the most ancient were destroyed when the church was rebuilt at the beginning of the fourteenth century. The only tombs which seem to have been preserved were those of royal personages, and of benefactors like Gregory Rokesley, whose monument was removed to the new Choir, and Henry Frowyk, who with his wife and son found a rest ing-place in the north aisle of the Nave. By the irony of fate the only ancient tomb which is now preserved in the church is one which was probably cast aside six centuries ago. Recently a stone was discovered, which is inscribed round the edge with the legend Bernart de fambe gist icy. Dieu de sa alme eit merci, Amen. Pater Noster} It bears a shield con taining a leg couped at the thigh within a bordure. The inscription is of a Lombardic character, and from the style appears to be of the date of about 1300 or a little earlier. More recently another stone with Lombardic lettering is said to have been found, probably in the ground taken for the General Post Ofifice, but broken up by the workmen, who sold the letters. The tomb of Bernart de Jambe was probably not visible when the Register was compiled. From the great care with which the list was made it is not likely that there were many accidental omissions. Yet from other sources we can make numerous additions. The Index of Wills in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury has supplied identification for many of the names recorded in the Register.

It must therefore mean the Minories, where several Montgomerys were buried (Stow, Survey, ii., 287-288). ^ See p. 112 below. ^ He directed that he should be buried here if he died in London.

The last three names are later in date than any in cluded in the Register. It is possible that in the case of some of the others the testator's wish was not accomplished. The omission of the older names may be accounted for by the destruction of ancient monuments. But those which are of later date than 1500 at all events can hardly have vanished so soon. To this extent we must suppose that the compila tion of the Register was imperfect. But for some of these persons there may have been no visible monument. The Greyfriars Chronicle records that Elizabeth Barton, "the Holy Maid of Kent," and the two Observant friars — Hugh Rich and Richard Risby — who were executed with her, were buried here in 1534.' Also that in 1537 the bodies of Sir Francis Bigod, George Lumley, William Wood, prior of Bridlington, and Adam Sedbergh, abbot of Jervaulx, who were executed for their share in the Pilgrimage of Grace, were buried at the Grey Friars in the Cloister on the north side in the pavement.^ An English List ^ of burials at the Grey Friars, which, though much shorter, seems to be of independent origin, adds a few names, viz. : William English, Sir Bartholomew Enfield, Sir Henry Enfield, Sir Bernard St. Peter, Sir Ralph Sandwich {d. 1308), Sir Andrew Sackville, Simon Ganis, Sir Philip Pickworth, Sir Richard Poncherdon, William Maynard, * and Thomas Grene. Stow, ^ from a third list, adds Geoffrey Mandeville, Earl of Essex, and his Countess Athelard, and Sir James Salisbury. These three are said to have been buried in the Chapter-house or Cloister. The inclusion of the Mandeville tombs must be an error ; the last Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, died in 12 16 and was buried at Trinity Priory near Aldgate. ^Monumenta Franciscana, ii., 197. ''¦Id., ii., 201. Some one, perhaps the author of the Greyfriars Chronicle, inserted their names in the Index (see p. 133 below). ' See p. 13 below. ^ See pp. 73, 76, 89-91, and 102-111 below. ^ See p. 128 below. 12 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON The number of friars whose burials are recorded in the Register — under lOO — can be but a small proportion of those who died in the Convent during the three centuries of its ex istence. The humbler brethren were not given a place in the- church or even in the Cloisters, but rested in the cemetery at the west end of the church. It is possible, however, that some were buried elsewhere. During the course of excava tions in July and August, 1905, on a site outside the City Wall bordering on the town ditch, where the Postern led out from the Great Cloister, a large oblong pit, 50 feet by 20, and 20 feet deep, was found. In this pit were upwards of 400 un- cofifined skeletons in eight layers. On about 100 of the skeletons rough leaden crosses, a few inches in length, were- found. It was a custom at the burial of a friar (and also of other persons) to place a leaden cross inscribed with the formula of absolution on the dead man's breast. It is pos sible that some of these skeletons were those of friars.^ But the burials were clearly made near the same time during some great epidemic, perhaps in the first visitation of the Black Death in 1 348-1 349. It is hardly credible that anything like a hundred Grey Friars died in London during those years ^ such a number would have involved the virtual extermination of the whole brotherhood. It would no doubt be natural that any friars who died during the epidemic (whatever its date) should have been buried in a common grave so close to their own dwelling-place. However, the Churchyard of the poor of St Bartholomew's Hospital seems to have been situated here.2 All the monuments in the Greyfriars Church were destroyed early in the reign of Edward VI. The Greyfriars Chronicle relates simply that " all the tombs, great stones, were pulled up and sold ".' Stow gives us fuller information : " there were nine Tombs of Alabaster and marble, environed with strikes of iroa ^ Proceedings of Society of Antiquaries, -xxi., 14-21 (with illustrations of the crosses). ' Moore, History of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, p. 263. ^Monumenta Franciscana, ii., 215. THE REGISTER 13 in the Quire, and one Tomb in the body of the Church, also •coped with iron, all pulled down, besides seven score grave stones of marble, all sold for fifty pounds or thereabouts by Martin Bowes, Goldsmith and Alderman ofLondon ".^ Bowes had no doubt acquired the tombstones from the corporation of London, to which they were granted in the Letters Patent for Christ's Hospital. Those which had brasses may have been purchased by the monumental brass-makers to be used as palimpsests ; one has recently been discovered at Magdalen College, Oxford,^ and it is possible that others may yet come to light The tomb of Henry Standish apparently escaped, but only to perish in the Great Fire of 1666. The celebrity of Greyfriars as a place of burial seems to have attracted attention early in the sixteenth century, when there were clearly persons who for genealogical reasons com piled lists of notable persons buried at churches in London or elsewhere. Stow had seen at least two lists of burials at Grey friars, besides that contained in the Register. One of these lists seems to have resembled one still preserved in Harley MS. 6033, ff. 14-16, which was independent of the Register. This list, which is in English, is much less elaborate, contain ing only 122 names. It is confined almost entirely to persons ¦of some social importance. It records only eleven burials in the Nave,^ and of these one alone appears in the Register. In the other part of the list there are occasional variations, and a few additional details of interest ; for a few entries it supplies some useful correction. Anything worthy of notice is quoted in the footnotes below. The Register now forms part of Cotton. MS. Vitellius, F xii., ff. 274-337. The whole was no doubt compiled in, or very soon after, 1526. Entries of burials of later date than that year appear to be additions, though down to 1530 it is at least probable that the additions were made by the original compiler.* The few entries of later date than 1530 are cer- ^ Survey of London, i., 322. ^ See p. 87 below.

In the second section the deed of 1529 Ms an addition, probably, though not certainly, made by the original compiler. It is natural to assume that all the added entries of burials are of later date than 1526, and this is probably true of the majority, but some may have been omissions corrected by the original compiler.^ The Cotton. MS. was badly damaged by the fire in 1731, and the margins have often been destroyed. But by good fortune John Stow copied out a very considerable portion, in cluding nearly all the list of burials, and most of the second section ; though for part of the latter he was content to give a translation. Stow's copy is now contained in Harley MS. 544, ff. 33-64, and by its aid most of the gaps in the original can be made good. In Stow's copy the names of persons buried are not always entered in the margin, even when they appear in the original ; as these marginal entries seem to have been part of the plan of the compiler, and are in themselves so convenient, it has seemed best to restore them throughout. Though the Greyfriars Register is now printed in full for the first time, there are few historical records which have re ceived more attention. Stow made considerable use of it in his Survey of London,^ and after him Weever consulted the burials for his Funeral Monuments.^ Much of the second and third sections was translated by John Stevens for his Continua tion of Dugdale's Monasticon,^ which appeared in 1722. -Stevens' translations from the second section were included in the standard edition of the Monasticon? The list of burials was printed in an abridged form by J. G. Nichols in Collec- 'e.g. Gilbert Saunds (p. 79), Elizabeth Bell and Robert Wotton (p. 83), Agnes Rysby and John Portulond (p. 112), Margaret Renaldes (p. 112), Peter, the physician (p. 114). 2 See p. 176. 3 Mr. Shepherd thought that Maryon Thorpe (p. 80) and Roger Baymon (p. 102) were additions ; if so, they were certainly made by the compiler, and the latter was one of the oldest tombs in the church.

In a third in stance it was certainly an individual friar who was robbed ; in 1378 Friar John Welle had abstracted from his dwell ing in London by his servant Thomas Bell, horses, cups, books, money, vessels and other goods. ^ It is clear that the rule of poverty was no longer kept in its primitive simplicity. In 1343 Friar Robert Lamborn had licence from the Pope ^ whilst residing in the London Convent to have a decent chamber, one friar as socius, one clerk, and two servants, and to dispose of his books and other property. In 1 381 the Guardian had permission from the king to dispose of the goods of Friar William Appleton, deceased ; ^ but Apple- ton had been a knight, and was a physician, and probably entered the Order late in life. Other evidence of decay is possibly to be found in the repeated instances of vagabond and apostate friars which occur; in February, 1386, William Howys, in October, 1391, John Dunnyng, and in July, 1398, Walter Tolny,Thomas Knyght, John Camel, and John Mynterne were ordered to be delivered to the Guardian of London.* If it is dangerous to build theories on a few instances, it is certain that the contrast between the profession of absolute poverty and the possession ot actual wealth gave a weapon to the enemies of the Mendicant orders. Even a few vagabond and apostate friars may have caused more scandal than was deserved. Other friars who followed the Rule in righteousness left of necessity no trace; but if we must take their good works for granted, we are not in so doing guilty of an un founded presumption. Of the London Guardians in the fourteenth century none were of special eminence. Henry Sutton deserves mention for his share in the building of the church. John Mablethorpe carried on an old tradition as confessor to Queen Philippa. 1 Little, Greyfriars, 78, 311. ^Cal. Papal Registers, iii., 88. ^Cal. Pat.

See p. 63 below. 20 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON John Bruyll at the close was bishop-elect of Annadowne The rest are mere names. The reign of Henry IV. was not a happy time for the Franciscans. But we do not find the name of any friar of the London house amongst those who suffered for their support of Richard II. A notable inmate at this time was Friar Thomas Wynchelsey. It was apparently through Wynchel- sey's influence that the Grey Friars were benefited under the will of Richard Whittington. Wynchelsey himself and the then guardian, William Russell, were benefactors of their house. 1 They seem to have been close friends and when, in 1425, Russell was accused of heretical preaching,^ Winchelsey had also to appear before Convocation. On this occasion Wynchelsey cleared himself of the charge ; but in the fol lowing year he was less fortunate, and was compelled, on behalf of himself, the London Convent, and the whole order, publicly to repudiate Russell's opinions at Paul's Cross.' This incident would imply that the London friars had as a body fallen under some suspicion. But in the next generation they were prominent, probably under the influence of William Goddard the elder, as champions of orthodoxy. Goddard himself took a foremost part in the trial of Bishop Pecock in 1457.* Still eight years later, in 1465, the opposition of the friars to the parochial clergy, which had been part of the ob noxious teaching of Russell, involved them in a fresh dispute. A Carmelite friar, Henry Parker, supported by his Provincial, John Milverton, preached against the riches of the secular clergy. When a sharp controversy ensued the Grey Friars took up the case, and their representative had a principal share in the discussion. The Grey Friar was cited before the Arch bishop at Lambeth, but pleaded that his order was exempt from episcopal jurisdiction ; though his contention was re jected, he seems to have escaped condemnation. In this he was more fortunate than Milverton, who was cited to Rome, and long imprisoned there. This is said to have been due to ' See further on p. 171. 2 gee p. 57 below. 'Wilkins' Concilia, iii., 433, 438-439. * See p. 195 below. HISTORY OF THE CONVENT 21 the great part which the King took in the matter.^ The better fortune of the Grey Friar was possibly due to royal favour. John Kyrye and Goddard, who were the most im portant members of the London house at the time, were both supporters of the House of York. Kyrye was actually the king's confessor, and Goddard was a doctor of repute, and of great influence in high quarters. Whatever falling off from early ideals there may have been during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the London house would seem to have retained, if it had not increased, its old distinction as one of the chief conventual schools of the English province. About 1236 Albert of Pisa ap pointed Vincent of Coventry to be lector at London.^ Some years later Adam Marsh associates London with Oxford and Cambridge as a theological school, and at his suggestion Adam of Hereford was sent to pursue his studies there.^ Clearly the London school had already a good reputation. Robert de Turnham, who taught theology here before 1 270, was a famous preacher;* but otherwise there is no great Franciscan whose name can be associated with it during the thirteenth century. But the "Studies," which Bonde, king of heralds, provided, were probably built during the reign of Edward I., if not earlier. In 1292 a decree of the General Chapter at Paris mentions the school at London in association with those at Oxford and Cambridge.^ Though Oxford was then clearly pre-eminent, London seems to have ranked with Cambridge, and certainly above any other school of the province. It is possible that it was already recognised as the studium. particulare of its Custody; but the first certain evidence for this comes in 1337, when by a General Constitution every student friar was re quired to have resided two or three years at a studium particu lare before he could be sent to a studium generate or University. ° '^Gregory's Chronicle, pp. 228-232.

Sac, 2nd ser., -viii., 68 ; where Mr. Little dis cusses the educational organisation of the friars. 22 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON There seems to have been one of these subordinate schools in each Custody. The students were under the instruction of the Regent and Cursor. We have the names of two London Re gents, viz., William Toly, 1 500, and Robert Burton, 1 522 ; and of five London Cursors, viz., William Thorpe, 1468, John Furnes, 1483, Henry Sedbar, 1489, Ambrose Kell, 1514, and John Per son, 1 5 26. No conclusion can be drawn from the late dates ot these names, since, with the exception of Kell, they are only those of friars whose tombs chanced to be still preserved in the sixteenth century. Probably the palmiest days of the London school were during the fourteenth century, when the number of students was so great that the original " Studies " were found to be too small, and were replaced about 1370.^ Thomas Rundel, Peter Sutton, and Thomas of St. Dunstan, who had been lectors at Oxford, may have taught at London early in the fourteenth century.^ About its middle Adam Wodham or Godham, one of the most famous of the later Franciscan schoolmen, and Roger Conway, the foremost op ponent of Richard Fitzralph, resided, and probably taught there. About 1368 John Welle is specifically said to have taught theology at London.^ Just about the same time we hear of an Italian friar, Ubertino de Piagerio di Corleone, who had studied at London.* William Woodford, who was a de termined opponent of Wiclif, resided chiefly at London, and perhaps delivered his lectures De Sacramento Altaris there. ^ Amongst the fourteenth-century Guardians, Sutton, Mable- thorp, and Chamberlain all seem to have been men of some learning. More notorious in the next century was William Russell, whose friend and contemporary, Thomas Wynchelsey, was the virtual founder of the Library. Later in the fifteenth century William Goddard the elder was connected with the London Convent during nearly forty years ; he was the most prominent English Franciscan of his time, and since he is de scribed as " doctor disertissimus," it may be conjectured that he was a teacher of repute At the end of the century 1 See p. 161 below. 2 gee p. 68 below. a Little, Grcvfriars, 311. ¦>Bullarium Franciscanum, vi., 409. 5 Little, Greyfriars, 246. HISTORY OF THE CONVENT 23 Andrew Bavard maintained the use of the Convent as a place of learning ; though the notice of his exertion to improve the service books may suggest that the Library also had begun to decay. Later still Standish must have imparted some vigour to the house in which he so long resided, even though under his guidance it was probably a stronghold of scholasti cism against the new learning. At all events, if old methods had outlived their usefulness, the last years of the Franciscans in London were not a time of ignoble sloth. We know more of the inner history of the London Grey Friars during the thirty years before the dissolution than at any other period. It was perhaps as a step in the direction of stricter poverty that in 1502 they changed their habit from brown russet at four, six, or eight shillings a yard to kennet russet at two shillings.^ Bavard, who was Guardian at this time, had, as we have seen, given practical proof of his zeal for good order. Henry Standish, who perhaps succeeded Bavard as Guardian in 1 507 and was certainly resident in the London house during the early part of the reign of Henry VIII., enjoyed great repute as a court preacher ; he was a man of learning, albeit as a champion of scholasticism in con troversy with Erasmus. Under his rule the friars still profited by royal favour. Nor had they yet lost their credit amongst the citizens. In 1508 a custom was established under which the Mayor and Aldermen, as patrons and founders, paid a yearly visit to the Greyfriars Convent and Church on the 4th of October, being the Feast of St. Francis. Fourteen years later the procession was followed for the first time by a dinner at which the friars entertained the rulers of the City.^ Further evidence of the repute in which the friars were held by the people is afforded by the story of how Standish was asked to intervene with a sermon on the side of the citizens at the time of the riots against foreign traders in 15 17, an invitation which he was too prudent a courtier to accept' 1 Chronicles of London, p. 256. ^ Monumenta Franciscana (Greyfriars Chronicle), ii., 186, i8g; Sharpe, London and the Kingdom, i., 403. ' See p. 60 below. 24 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON Standish was promoted to be bishop of St. Asaph next year, but retained his interest in his old convent to his death. His immediate successors probably followed in his footsteps ; the third, Thomas Cudnor, was certainly his intimate friend. Cudnor possibly became Guardian in 1521, and certainly before 1526.' Under his rule the shadow of the approaching end began to fall. In January, 1525, Standish held a visita tion of the Observants at Greenwich, many of whom were then sent to other less strict houses ; one of them, a lay-brother called William Renscroft, came to the Greyfriars at London as the first of a series of unwilling visitors ; he was there long but at last submitted and was assoiled.^ In November of the same year Dr. Allen held a visitation at the Greyfriars ; but the Chronicle does not record what came of it.^ In the earlier years of the Reformation movement we hear of no trouble which directly concerned the London Franciscans. There was a riotous assembly of clergy at the Greyfriars Church on 30th August, 1531, but the occasion was a proposal for the reassessment of their benefices.' When the breach with Rome came Cudnor joined with the Priors of the other Orders of Friars in London in acknowledging the king's Supremacy on 17th April, 1534.* The Observants, and in particular those of Greenwich, were less subservient ; all their houses were cleared, and the inmates sent to convents of the less strict parent order, where they were kept locked in chains and worse treated than they would have been in ordinary prisons.^ To Greyfriars there came the celebrated Friar Forest with at least five companions. In the following October Brother Francis Lyhert, who was imprisoned at Stamford, wrote to a friend for " tidings of our fathers in London and at Greenwich, what they have done and what they intend to do. We hear that they are all sworn, and have somewhat changed their government, at which we marvel." ^ The Grey Friars, ^ Monumenta Franciscana, ii., igo.

He inquires for Brother Amne; presumably John Amne (see p. 64 below), who may therefore have been an Observant. HISTORY OF THE CONVENT 25 whatever some of them may have felt, were at all events sub missive in outward form to the new order. In November, 1535. they joined in the great religious procession held in London by the King's order ; this was perhaps the last solemn function in which they took part^ That there was division of opinion amongst the friars is shown by an incident which occurred some two years after. In March, 1538, Friar John Sharpe brought an accusation of treason against Friar Geoffrey Turner. Turner denied on oath that he ever spake such words as were pretended against him. He said that on Sun day sennight in the evening he was in the buttery (he was butler), when three laymen, John Sponger, William Pikering, the brewer of the house, and one William a tailor, were drink ing there. They had a fair half-penny loaf before them, and William the tailor asked whether they bought it Turner answered : " Nay ! they begged it ". William said : " There was once a King of England would have made such a loaf worth sixpence ". " It was King John," said Turner. "And therefore," said the tailor, " a monk did poison him with a cup of wine." And this examinate said: "Therefore (and with this word came in Bachelor Beaste and Bachelor Gawen and lastly Friar Sharpe) he was the more to be blamed to strike afore God struck ".^ Cudnor was probably dead before this, and in his room had been elected as Guardian Thomas Chapman, who seems to have been a creature of Cromwell's. At all events he proved a willing instrument in helping the dissolution of the house of which he was head. Sometime in the early part of 1538 we find Chapman writing to Cromwell concerning Friar Forest, who was still a prisoner at Greyfriars, and declaring that he could depose for the inmates of his house. Chapman assured Cromwell of their submission to the King, and of their readi ness to change their coat when he willed.' Somewhat later he wrote to Newell, who was in Cromwell's service, that there ^London Chronicle ap. Camden Miscellany, xii., p. ii. '^ Letters and Papers, Henry VIII., xiii. (i.), 658. ' See pp. 213-214 below. 26 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON was not one in his house but would gladly change his coat, and offered to show Cromwell some things that would be a way to a better order.^ To Cromwell himself he wrote of his own obedience, and the longing ot all his brethren to change their papistical slanderous apparel.^ The blow fell on 12th November, when the whole house signed the Deed of Sur render, declaring in a letter of the same date that Christian living did not consist in wearing grey coats, disguising them selves after strange fashions, duckings and noddings, girdling themselves with a girdle full of knots, and other like Papistical ceremonies.' If this letter was not of Chapman's own com position, it certainly expressed his sentiments. Twenty-five friars joined with Chapman in signing the Deed. Though this number is a great falling off from the hundred or more which the writer of the Register boasts was the common number two centuries before, it compares favourably with the numbers returned for the other houses of friars in London. At the time of the Surrender the Dominicans had seventeen members, the Carmelites and Austin friars thirteen each, and the Crutched friars only six.* Chapman obtained a pension of 13/. 6s. 8d., of which he was still in receipt as late as 1547.° It does not appear what allowance, if any, was made to his brethren. Though Chap man had answered for the obedience of them all, and though they had all joined in signing the Surrender, it is probable that some, at all events, did so unwillingly. When in the reign of Queen Mary the Franciscans made great friends and great means to be restored to their house, because it stood whole, and was not spoiled as other houses were, there were still five or six poor friars who had been friars in the house before. William Peto, the Queen's confessor, who had been provincial of the Observants twenty years previously, was foremost in promoting the scheme to put out the children from Christ's Hospital, which had been established at Greyfriars in ^ See pp. 2x4-215 below. 2 ggg pp. 216-217 below. '' See pp. 217-218 below. -> Sth Report, Deputy Keeper, App. II., p. 28. ^Letters and Papers, Henry VIII., XIV., i., 602. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 27 1 5 52. According to John Howes, Peto might have succeeded, but for Friar John, a Spaniard, who was brought to have his opinion, and " being there at dinner-time and seeing the poor children set at the tables in the Hall, was so wrapped in ad miration that suddenly he burst out into tears, and said that he had rather be a scullion in their kitchen than Steward to the King ". Friar Alfonso, King Philip's confessor, had also very good liking for the training up of the children, and used very good words in their favour. No doubt, as Howes states, the Governors had somewhat to do to defend and continue the Hospital. They showed worldly prudence, and purchased in fluential friends by granting leases of dwellings within the precinct to Dr. John Story, who was Bonner's chancellor, and to John Christopherson, who was one of the queen's chaplains, and afterwards Bishop of Chichester ; " so these two had no mind for the friars to be restored, since then their houses would be called in question". Howes however, gives the chief credit to Friar John, whose open opinion " did so appall Friar Peto that he never durst open his mouth against that house ".^ 3. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS. The abstracts ot deeds given in the Register are disap pointing for their brevity. In no case do they give more than a slight indication of the site to which they relate, nor do the originals appear to exist. It is not, therefore, possible to trace exactly the steps in the process by which the Grey Friars acquired the land whereon their church and convent were built. In all there are forty-two documents calendared in the Register, but of these eighteen relate to rents presumably payable on lands or tenements otherwise acquired. By taking the other twenty-four in their chronological order we may ex tract from them some indication of the original site and its subsequent extensions. The deeds fall into four groups : (i) 1224-1243; (2) 1249-1260; (3) 1278-1292; and (4) 1301- ^ John Howes' MS., pp. 66-70. 28 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON 1 3 17; there was a final extension by the gift of Queen Isa bella in 1 3 52-1 3 5 3. Two plots of land are described as situated in the parish of St. Sepulchre,^ and three in St Ewen's parish; the rest as in Stinking Lane, St Nicholas Lane, and St Nicholas Shambles parish. Stinking Lane may owe its name to its unsavoury character as the home of the Shambles ; or possibly may be a corruption for " Stukande- lane," or " Stigandes lane " from the name of an owner ; ^ both these forms occur in 1275.' A variant for Stinking Lane was Fowle Lane, which was later changed to Chicken Lane. St. Nicholas Lane seems to be another name for the street. It is now called King Edward Street. The lands in St Nicholas parish formed the eastern part of the site. In St Sepulchre's lay the north-western part along the City Wall, whilst in St. Ewen's parish there was a comparatively small area with a frontage on Newgate Street. The main site comprised the greater part of the irregular area between Stinking Lane on the east, Newgate Street on the south, and the City Wall on the west and north; but the south-east corner, and another patch on the east were never in the pos session of the friars, nor did they hold the most westerly part of the Newgate Street frontage ; ultimately they alienated the greater part of that frontage, retaining only means of access at three points to their ground and buildings in the rear. Besides the main site, it is probable (for reasons which will appear later) * that the friars had a detached garden on the east side of Stinking Lane. The main site is now occu pied by Christchurch and its graveyard, and by the most recently erected buildings of the General Post Office. John Iwyn's first gift in 1224-1225 was of all his land with the houses thereon in the parish of St. Nicholas Shambles. There is no indication of its extent, but from the expression " houses " it was probably a tolerable sized plot ; it may be conjectured to have formed the site on which the Allhallows Chapel and the Vestry were ultimately built. This was ex- 1 See pp. 147-X48 below. 2 ggg p_ jj below. ^ Hundred Rolls, i., 404. * See p. 31 and p. 223 below. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 29 tended in 1 227-1 228 by the gift from Joce Fitz Piers of all his land in Stinking Lane;^ again there is no indication of size, though it is stated to have been bounded on the north by the Wall. It would be natural to suppose that Joce Fitz Piers' gift adjoined that of John Iwyn ; but immediately north of the Vestry there was a plot of ground which the friars do not seem to have ever owned ; ^ if Joce's land abutted on the later Stinking Lane, it was probably to the north of this plot ; since it reached the Wall, it must have run back for a good distance, and may have joined on to Iwyn's ground in the rear. In 1 238-1 239 the City purchased from Peter de Grun- cestre his land in St Ewen's parish at a cost of six marks ; ^ this would have provided an extension to the south, but was apparently only a small plot In 1 242-1 243 the City bought two larger plots, both in St. Sepulchre's parish, and both bounded on the north by the Wall ; * these two plots cost in all fifty marks, and must have been of considerable size. As they are the only lands of which we hear in St. Sepulchre's they presumably covered the whole of the north-western corner of the site. On the site as thus secured the original Greyfriars Church and Convent were built William Joyner, who was Mayor in 1239, is said to have built the Chapel, and to have given two hundred pounds towards the cost of the other buildings.^ The acquisitions of 1238-1243 were no doubt a part of the scheme to which Joyner contributed. The site as it then ex isted must have been very inconveniently shaped, with a nar row (and possibly broken) frontage on Stinking Lane, but running back westwards for a long distance, and with a small extension to the south perhaps as far as Newgate Street. The buildings erected at this time probably stood on the ground given by Iwyn and Fitz Piers. Joyner's chapel ultimately be came a great part of the Choir ; ^ probably, therefore, it stood where the All Hallows Chapel, or north aisle of the eventual Choir, was built Thus in the original, as afterwards in the ^ See p. 147 below.

' See p. 157 below. ^ See p. 157 below. 30 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON completed Convent, the church was placed in the south-east corner of the site. The other buildings must have been at the north-west corner of the church, on part of the same ground where the Cloisters were finally built The remainder of the original site would have run back behind them to the west The next purchases in 1251-1252 were of land and houses in Stinking Lane, valued at ten marks, and of land with the trees growing thereon in St Nicholas parish, valued at two marks.^ In the following year came a purchase of land in St Ewen's parish for five marks. ^ There was no further addition till 1 260-126 1, when land in Stinking Lane was acquired at a cost of fifteen and a half marks.' In the same year the Countess of Warwick gave her land and houses adjoining Stinking Lane.* There is no evidence of building at this time, and probably the additions were only prepara tory for the future. The troubles of the Barons War may very likely have caused the postponement of any schemes for rebuilding. At all events there was no further addition to the site till the acquisition in 1 278-1 279 of a messuage in St. Nicholas Lane.^ In 1281-1282 followed two tenements, one in St. Nicholas Lane, the other unspecified ; " and a further gift from the Countess of Warwick of land in Stinking Lane.' In 1284-1285 Philip le Tailor gave land in Stinking Lane, bounded on the north by the City Wall.^ Shortly afterwards Alice Northawe and Beatrix de Feschamp bestowed on the friars all their rights in two tenements in St Nicholas Lane, one of them abutting on the Wall ; ^ these deeds may relate to the land acquired from Philip le Tailor. In 1 290-1 291 Geoffrey de Bocham gave land and houses in St. Nicholas parish valued at fifteen marks, and in the next year Adam de Fulham gave land and houses in St. Nicholas Lane^" This series of additions completed the north east portion of the site. They were mostly given by citizens and must have included a considerable part of the ground on 1 See p. 149 below. 2 gge p. 149 below. » See p. 149 below. < See p. 150 below. ^ See p. 151 below. « See p. 151 below.

As we shall see presently a number of citizens were at this same time con tributing to the cost of erecting those buildings.^ The number of plots and tenements described as situated in St. Nicholas Lane or in Stinking Lane is somewhat re markable. The gifts thus far described can have included only a part of the site of the church, and to the north of the church the friars had only two comparatively small frontages on the west side of the Lane, less as it would seem than 150 feet in all. Probably one explanation may be that the des cription was used to cover land to which the Lane afforded the only means of access. It is possible also that the Lane may have originally curved away to the west ; but this would not help much, since the friars did not hold the land at the north end of the Lane against the Wall. There is, however, some reason to suppose that the friars had ground on the east side as well as on the west side of the Lane ; if that was so, the difificulty as to the amount of land described as in or adjoining to the Lane disappears. In 1275 complaint was made that the friars had made an encroachment on, and ob structed Stinking Lane ; ^ if they had no land except on the west, this would have been sheer wilfulness ; but if the dona tions between 1250 and 1261 had included land to the east they would have had some excuse. From a plan at St. Bar tholomew's Hospital ' it appears that there was an arched gate way across the Lane some little distance from the point where it then (in 1617) turned abruptly to the east. On the east side of the Lane there were gardens reaching down from the north as far as the centre of the east front of the church. ^ See p. 158 below. 2 See Hundred Rolls, i., 404, 429 : " venella que vocatur Stukandelane obturata per fratres minores"; — "fratres minores fecerunt purpresturam de quadam venella obturata per eosdem, que vocatur Stigandeslane ". Another complaint at the same time was " via regia obturata a porta Newgate per murum civitatis usque ad vicum Sancti Nicolai per fratres minores " ; this would seem to indicate that there had once been a road somewhere between Newgate Street and the Wall. ' See p. 52 below. 32 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON Part or all of these gardens probably belonged to the friars, for in a grant of part of their site made in 1 543 one boundary is described as running through the pale of the Friars Garden to the east front of the church ; ^ the deed is difficult to inter pret, but the simplest solution is that this garden was that on the other side of the Lane. The St. Bartholomew's plan thus illustrates both the alleged obstruction of 1275 and the deed of 1543- After 1 292 the friars received no addition to their site till Queen Margaret acquired for them in 1 301 -i 302 land and houses in St. Nicholas parish, valued at sixty marks.^ This was no doubt for the main site of the Choir of the church, which she was then preparing to build. A further extension, probably also for the site of the church, was a gift of land and houses received in the same year from Dionisia de Munchensi. In 1303 and 1 305-1 306 two other tenements were obtained in St. Nicholas parish ; these also may have been for the same purpose' The site was now practically complete. The only ad ditions were a small strip of land, said to be in St Anne's parish, in 1313-1314;* and some messuages acquired for the friars by Queen Isabella in 1352-1353, which were in St Nicholas parish and adjoined the City Wall.^ The purpose of these last additions was probably to round off inconvenient corners in the existing site. The site of the Greyfriars, as completed in 1 306, had a considerable frontage on Newgate Street The greater part of this frontage was only a narrow strip on the south side of the church which was of no particular value to the friars. Some eighty years later the friars parted with almost the whole of the frontage to the City. First in 1 368 the Corporation acquired a strip of land on the south side of the church for the support of London Bridge This strip was 2 1 2 feet in length, from the house of Walter Attehyde on the east to the buttress ' See p. 224 below. 2gee p j^^ below. s ggg p. 155 below. * Perhaps adjoining the garden on the east of Stinking Lane. ' See p. 157 below. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 33 by the south door of the church on the west In breadth it was 33 feet 2 inches at the east end, but narrowed down to less than half that at the other end. As will be seen from the deed printed below,' careful provision was made for the protection of the friars and the prevention of any injury to the lighting of the church by the erection of too lofty buildings. About the middle of the strip a right of way was reserved leading to the ambulatory between the Choir and the Altars. Nearly thirty years afterwards, in 1397, the friars parted with a further strip between the south-west buttress of the church on the east and the new gateway of the friars on the west.^ This strip was 95 feet 2 inches long,' 8 feet 4 inches wide at the east end and only 7 feet 2 inches at the west end. Neither of the strips was wide enough for building, so in 1 368 6 feet was taken from the highway, and in 1 397 the new houses were built out to align with those formerly erected. The friars on their part had leave to build out their gatehouse at the west end of the latest Bridgehouse Rents to the same line. Between the strip now leased and that formerly leased in 1368 came the entrance to the church, and here the friars seem to have at this time erected a porch, receiving again leave to build out to the line of the new houses ; they were further to have a passage 2 feet wide between the latest houses and the south-west buttress, whereby they had access to the west front of the church. Thus the friars had parted with the whole of their Newgate Street frontage, except at the west end, where the gatehouse nearly opposite to St Ewen's Church formed the principal entrance to the cemetery and conventual buildings. After this there was no further change in the site save that in 1529 the friars leased to the City a small piece of ground to enlarge the house of Nicholas Pynchyn.* Mr. Shepherd ^ thought this was part of the passage reserved in 1 397, but a deed quoted below shows that it must have been at the back of the house, 1 See pp. 171-173. 'See pp. 173-176. ' The houses on the north side of Newgate Street still belong to the Bridge House from the point where the south-west buttress stood for 95 feet towards the west. *See p. 176 below. ^Archaological Journal, lix., 257. VOL. VL 3 34 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON which was one of those in the most easterly part of the Rents to the south of the Choir.' The long possession by the friars of an extensive frontage on Newgate Street led to the adjoining part of the street being called " Greyfriars ". Opposite to the entrance to the Walking- place the street was unusually wide, being about 50 feet across. Here was one of the markets of the city. Reference to it as a corn market " on the pavement near the Friars " occurs in 1324 and 1344; later it was specially a poultry market, and was in 1440 one of the places where "foreign poulters " were to stand.^ In the plan at St. Bartholomew's Hospital part of it is described as the " mele market'' Before leaving this part of our subject it should be pointed out that the donations of land were not made to the friars themselves (who could not legitimately hold property) but were given in trust to the City, except for those pieces which were acquired by Queen Margaret. We may now turn from the site to the buildings erected on it Of the original buildings we can say no more than that in 1229 the friars had a grant of an oak from Windsor forest for the building of their house,' and that the chapel was erected about 1240 by William Joyner, who also contributed 200/. to the cost of the other buildings.* To judge from the indications we possess as to the then extent of the site, the original buildings were probably of a modest kind. The chapel as we have seen stood on the site of the future All Hallows Chapel, or north aisle of the Choir of the later church. The first great period of building was between 1279 and 1290, when most of the land on the north-east was acquired. Here stood the Cloister and conventual buildings. We are told that Walter Potter built the chapter-house, Gregory- de Rokesley the dormitory, Bartholomew de Castro the refectory, and Peter de Helyland the infirmary. Potter became alder- > See pp. 176 and 212 below. Pynchyn also leased from the friars one of the gardens on the south side of the Choir. ^Letter-Books, E., p. 197, F., p. loi, K., p. 249. » Cal. Close Rolls, 1227-31, p. 169. ' See p. 157 below. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 35 man in 1269, and died about 1289. Rokesley was mayor from 1274 to 1281, and again in 1284-1285 ; he died in 1291. Bartholomew de Castro was alderman of Cripplegate from about 1260 to 1272, but was apparently alive as late as 1292. Helyland left a hundred pounds for the infirmary when he died, before 1258.' The combined evidence of the deeds of the site and the names of the donors, makes it clear that the greater part of the buildings (other than the church) were erected about the middle of the reign of Edward I., at the cost of the citizens. Probably they were a more pressing need than the provision of a new church. But the erection of a worthy church was not lost sight of Henry le Waleys, who was mayor in 1273-1274, 1281 to 1284, and 1 298-1 299, and died in 1302, is said to have built the nave, and to have given the timber for the altars.^ John of Brittany, Earl of Rich mond,' who died in 1305, is also mentioned amongst those who contributed to the building of the Nave. So the erection of the church must at least have been in contemplation at the end of the thirteenth century. If Mr. Shepherd's conjecture that the chapel of St. Louis was at the east end of the south aisle of the Nave is accepted, we have further evidence that the erection of the Nave was first taken in hand, and that con siderable progress had been made.* The chapel of St Louis was certainly built in the reign of Edward I., and there does not seem to be any place for it in the Choir. The peculiar work of Queen Margaret, who now comes on the scene as the second foundress, will, therefore, have consisted in the erection or planning of the Choir. As we have seen, Margaret was acquiring land for the church in 1302. The foundation stone was laid four years later by Sir William Walden in the Queen's name.* In 1 De Adventu, 27. * See p. 158 below. ' See p. 1 63 below. I assume that it means the husband of Beatrix of England, who was buried in the Choir. The Earl of Brittany's Inn was close to the Greyfriars. -¦ The eastern part of the Nave (including the Altars) must, of course, have been built before the bell tower could be erected. ' See p. 163. 36 THE GREY FRL\RS OF LONDON another place it is stated that " the work was completed in twenty-one )'ears, for it was begun in 1327".' There is clearly some error here ; perhaps the writer may have meant to write " finished " instead of " begun," for then we should have twenty-one years from 1306 to 1327.-' But if so, he can only have referred to the part of the church on which Mar garet spent 2,000 marks during her life, and left unfinished at her death in 1318. The whole church was certainly not finished till much later. It was apparently not till the reign of Edward III. that Isabella de Valois, "finding the church which Queen Margaret, her aunt, began, not yet finished, spent about it seven hundred pounds and more". Queen Philippa also contributed to the cost of the church and, in particular, to the roofing. Another important benefactor, Robert Lisle, also probably gave his help early in the reign of Edward III.' As late as January, 1346, the friars were send ing to various parts for stone and timber for the fabric of their church and cloister, and the repair of their house.* But the church must have been practically finished not many years later since the west windows were blown in by the great wind on St Maurice's Day, 1 363.^ One might possibly form some opinion on the progress of the building from the names of those who gave windows, were it not for the double consideration that some promises may have been made before the building was begun, and others not received till long after it was finished. Still the results, such as they are, are worth stating. There were three windows both in the east end and the west front, and fifteen on either side, making thirty-six in all. The windows at the east end were the gifts of Queen Isabella, of the Drapers Company, and John Cobham, probably the third ' See p. 165. " On the other hand, twenty-one years from 1327 would about carry us to the time when the whole church was finished. Mr. Shepherd apparently thought that the Nave and Altars, to which Waleys and Sutton contributed, was pulled down. But the text of the Register seems to imply that their work was permanent. » See pp. 164, 165. ¦" Cal. Pat. Rolls, Edward III., vii., 27. » See p. 167. Cf. Nicolas, London Chronicle, p. 65. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS n lord, who died in 1355, and was buried " coram altaribus";' of these windows we can say no more than that the glass was probably put in before 1350. Of the donors of the seven windows on the south side of the Choir all but two died in or before 1325; of the other two, Richard Bryton or Betoyne was mayor in 1326, and John Charlton was married as early as 1 309. The whole of these windows may, therefore, have been presented in the latter part of the reign of Edward 1 1. The dates for the donors of the other windows on the south side cannot all be fixed; but Margaret, Countess of Cornwall, belongs to the reign of Edward II., Henry, Earl of Lancaster, died in 1345, and Albon and Mordon probably date about 1340 ; on the other hand Robert Laund (who gave the twelfth window) was sheriff in 1376, and died in 1383. We can, therefore, say no more than that the south windows of the Nave were probably put in at various times ; but since the Earl of Lancaster's window was the fifteenth (or most westerly), the south aisle of the Nave was probably completed before 1345. The glazing of this window was renewed by William Loveney, probably as a consequence of the re-building of the porch after 1 398. The central window in the west front was restored by Edward III. after 1363; the west window in the north aisle was given by Walter Mordon, who died in 1351 ; the date for the window in the south aisle is uncertain. The seven north windows ^ of the Choir were all given by persons who died between 131 3 and 1336, except for one which was the gift of the Vintners. The eighth, in the Walking-place, was given by Henry Sutton, who was Guardian between 1303 and 1307, and died soon after 1327. Of the windows on the north side of the Nave one, the third from the east, was given by Simon Parys, alderman from 1299 to 1 321, who died in 1324 ; the other six may have been from twenty to thirty years later. From these dates it is fair to assume that the Choir was completed about the end of the reign of Edward 1 See p. 165. " In the list below the windows on the north are numbered from west to east. 38 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON II., and that, though considerable progress had been made with the Nave at an earlier date, it was probably not completed till about twenty years afterwards. The glass in the Grey friars Church seems to have been famous, and is instanced in Piers Plowman, ' where the extravagance of painted glass is censured : — " Lo ! how men wryten in fenestras at the freres ''. The church was, no doubt, a great and sumptuous building ; the writer of the Register says that ignorant persons wondered how the cost could have been met ; he himself records contri butions amounting to £l,o'j2 in money, in which sum neither the contributions of most of the citizens nor the cost of the windows are included. Queens Margaret and Isabella spent over ;^2,ioo on the Choir alone. The church is said to have been 300 feet long, 89 feet wide, and 64 feet in height from the ground to the roof ^ Recent excavations on the south side of Christchurch, Newgate, re vealed the bases of three mediaeval buttresses which showed that the present church stands on the site of the six eastern bays of the original Choir.' The actual length from the east end of Christchurch to the west wall of the churchyard is 296 feet. This would allow of fifteen bays corresponding with the six of the Choir ; the seventh is covered by the present tower, the eighth, or Walking-place, by Christchurch passage, and the seven bays of the Nave by the present churchyard. The most easterly bay seems to have been slightly wider than the others.* The width of the church does not agree quite so closely with the 89 feet of the Register, being 83 feet \\ inches between the existing walls ; but if allowance be made for outside measure ment the difference is not material. Though the site can be traced so closely, and though Wren seems to have built his walls and columns on the actual sites of the mediaeval ones, 1 Passus C, xvii., 41. s gee p. 169. ^Archaological Journal, lix., 2^7 ; London and Middlesex Archaological Society Trans., v., 421. * See the measured drawing, ap. Trans. London and Middlesex Archaological Association, iv., 421. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 39 nothing is left of the Greyfriars Church except the bases of the buttresses referred to above, and another buried fragment at the north-west corner of the present church. A rough piece of the west wall was destroyed in the recent erection of the new General Post Ofifice. In the church to the west of the altar rails is some fine old pavement of reddish-brown and grey marble, set in diagonal squares, which may have come from Queen Margaret's Church, or may be part of the pave ment renewed in 15 16. In spite of the small remains we can restore with some certitude the ground-plan of the church, aided by the elaborate details of the burials given in the Register. The tombs are described under the heads of the Choir, the various Chapels, the Ambulatory or Walking-place, the Altars and the Nave. They were clearly arranged for the most part with great regularity in rows, there being two rows to each bay. So we find that the All Hallows Chapel occupied the three eastern bays of the north aisle of the Choir, and the Chapel of St Mary the four western bays. The Chapels of the Apostles' and St Francis corresponded in the south aisle. There were no tombs at the west end of the All Hallows Chapel, and here seems to have been a passage from the Choir to the Vestry,^ with a door in the north wall of the Church. The altars in the Chapels of St. Mary and St. Francis seem to have been placed on one side and enclosed with screens, so as to form passages between these screens and those separating the Choir, and thus give access to the eastern chapels. The "ostia capellarum"' referred to below were probably side-doors in these passages leading to the inner Chapels of St. Mary and St. Francis.* Of the arrangement ^ Called " capella noviciorum " on p. 73 below. 2 The position of the Vestry is conjectural; but there was a door "versus vestibulum " just west of Lord Lisle's tomb (p. 72), and the St. Bartholomew's plan shows a building on the north of the All Hallows Chapel. Moreover, Richard Hastings, Lord Welles, who lay in this chapel, had directed in his will that he should be buried in the Vestry Chapel. See p. 77 below. ' See pp. 73, 81, and 88 below. -* Cf. " hostium parve capelle " on p. 94 below. 40 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON of the Choir itself we can also obtain some indication. The high altar probably stood away from the eastern wall, about the middle of the first bay; for the heart of Archbishop Peccham was buried in the sacrarium behind the great altar.' In the arch of the third bay on the north was the tomb of Robert, Lord Lisle ; in a line with his tomb, in the centre of the Choir, lay the Countess of Norfolk ; and at her head in medio chori ubi legitur Epistola Gregory Rokesley ; this fixes the position of the lectern. ^ The next row of tombs lay at the end of the stalls, which thus came half-way up the fourth bay.' At the west end of the choir were three tombs, on the north John Lamborn " under the rope of the lamp," John Claron at the entry of the Choir, and Edward Burnell before the Guardian's stall.* So the stalls returned against the screen wall, and the Guardian, as was usual, occupied the first return stall on the south. The stalls were renewed about 1380 at the cost of 350 marks by the Countess of Norfolk. Immediately west of the Choir the eighth bay was occupied by the Walking-place between the Choir and the Altars. This space between the Choir and Nave was a regular feature in friars' churches. At its north end was a door leading into the Cloister, which was reached by steps.' The south door led out through the churchyard to Newgate Street. It will be remembered that the friars, when they parted with a piece of their frontage in 1 368, reserved a passage way at this point ; " it is still in use as Christchurch Passage. In the English List the Ambulatory is described as " the Belfry or Walking-place ";^ in the list of windows the eighth is described as sub campanile^ The Belfry was apparently supported on four large piers ; for on 5th March, 1676, it was "ordered that forthwith workmen shall be set to at work to clear the foundations of all the pillars in the upper church [or choir], and the four great pillars ' See p. 70 below. 2 See p. 73. At Rokesley's head (to the west) was the tomb of William Fitzwarren, described in Harley MS. 6033 as " under the lampe". ' See pp. 73, 74. * See p. 75. ' See p. 128 below. " See p. 33 above. ' Harley MS. 6033. See p. 11 above. ' See pp. 166, 168 below. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 41 in the passage to the Hospital ".' Mr. Shepherd suggested that the Belfry may have taken the form of an octagonal or hexagonal steeple perched as at Lynn and Richmond on two arches spanning the central alley of the Church. This sugges tion seems likely to be correct, since the representation of the Belfry in the maps of Ralph Agas and William Faithorne implies that it was a light pointed structure.^ In these maps the representation of the steeple, though somewhat rude, is quite clear. The St. Bartholomew's plan curiously shows no steeple at all ; the character of the drawing would no doubt have made its inclusion difificult. The easternmost bay of the Nave was occupied by the Altars; the Altars of the Holy Cross and St. Mary on the north, and the Altar of Jesus, with the Common Altar ' on the south. In the midst over the door into the Walking- place was the rood.* Between each pair of altars was a raised tomb, and on the north of the Jesus Altar was another raised tomb ; ^ so it is probable that the altars were separated by screens. A screen divided the Altars from the Nave. The Nave proper occupied the six western bays. At the east end of the south aisle there was an altar, which may, as Mr. Shepherd suggested, have been the Altar of St. Louis, the accounts for the erection of which are printed in this volume.'^ In the centre of the west end was the principal doorway, and in the south-west corner another door leading out to the porch built in 1398 between the two blocks of houses on the Newgate Street frontage. It is not certain whether there was a clerestory, for no clerestory windows are mentioned in the Register when describing the donors of the windows. Nevertheless a clerestory is shown in the plan pre served at St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; it is possible as Mr. Shepherd suggested " that one was added later, somewhat as ' Churchwardens of Christchurch's books quoted ap. Arch. Journal, lix., 252, Christ's Hospital occupied the Cloister to the north. 2 Arch. Journal, lix., 252. Agas' map probably represents the condition before 1561 ; Faithorne's map was published in 1658. ' Also called the Altar of St. Michael, see p. 105 below. * See p. Ill below. ' See pp. 105 and 107 below. ' See pp. 202-203 below. 42 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON it was at Norwich ".' The St. Bartholomew's plan which com bines a plan with a pictorial representation of the buildings, is not entirely to be trusted on architectural details as we have seen in the case of the Belfry ; but as a plan it is drawn with extraordinary accuracy,^ and its authority must not be lightly rejected ; it shows lofty central windows both at east and west with smaller side windows.' The completion of the church practically closed the great age of building at the Greyfriars. Such work as was done later was rather of the nature of improvements or repairs than of addition. At the same time the rebuilding about the end of the fourteenth century was so extensive that it may have very much altered the character and plan of the Convent First, soon after 1 3 70, the Schools or Studies, which were not very sumptuous and were too small for the numbers who used them, were rebuilt on a larger scale.* The new Studies were pro bably on the east side of the Great Cloister; whether the old Studies,'' which were built by Bonde "King of Heralds" (probably in the reign of Edward I.) had been on the same site does not appear. It was perhaps as a complement that Thomas Wynchelsey moved Whittington to rebuild the Library in 1420-1421.* The Library occupied the north side of the Great Cloister. The south walk seems to have been built or rebuilt about the same time.'^ Thus it was only between 1370 and 1420 that the Great Cloister assumed its final form. If, as may possibly have been the case, the old Studies and Library had been in some other position, the Cloister will have been a creation of this rebuilding. The reconstruction between 1370 and 1420 was not confined to the Great Cloister. It was after 1 398 that the friars added the south-west porch to the church, and the Gate-house in Newgate Street was erected about the same time.^ There was also much repair to the older buildings. In 1420 the ceiling of the Choir was 1 Arch. Journal, lix., 254. 2 gee p. 52 below. ' I have only summarised the results, which Mr. Shepherd explained at much more length ap. Arch. Journal, lix., 248-253. ? See p. 161 below. s gee p. jjg below. « See p. 170 below. ' See p. 145 below. 8 gee pp. 174 and 176 below. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 43 restored at a cost of two hundred marks, and painted at a further cost of fifty marks.' In 1424 the wall of the lavatory adjoining the Vestry was rebuilt, and other improvements effected in the barber's shop and the west walk of the Cloister. All these improvements were due to the energy of Winchelsey, who was likewise the chief contributor to some very necessary repairs in the Cloister under the Refectory.^ Altogether it is clear that the reconstruction of the conventual buildings at this time was much more extensive than the Register would at first sight seem to imply. There is no record of any further altera tions, save that in 1 516 the marble paving of the Church seems to have been renewed. We may now turn to describe as far as possible the con ventual buildings other than the church. The most important were grouped about the Great Cloister, which lay to the north of the nave of the church, but was separated from it by a narrow yard less than twenty feet wide. Though called the Great Cloister it was really a quadrangle of moderate dimensions. It was distinctly longer from north to south than from east to west, the north and south sides were about 105 feet long, the east and west sides perhaps as much as 1 20 feet. At the north west corner the buildings reached nearly to the City Wall. There is some difificulty in determining for certain the position of all the buildings which surrounded the Great Clois ter. The grant of February, 1 543,' implies that the Chapter house and Great Dormitory were on the west side ; the former at the south end and the latter on an upper floor extending as it would seem the whole length of the building. But the " Repertory Book " * at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, under date 1st October, 1546, speaks of " the Fratrie above the west side of the Cloister, 1 40 feet long, all paved, and containing settles and nine tables of wainscot ". Most probably the grant (which is very obscurely worded) was in error, and the Great Hall or ' See p. 169 below. ^ See pp. i6i and 171 below. ' See pp. 222-225 below. * For the information as to its contents I am indebted to Dr. Norman Moore, who kindly let me see the proofs of his forthcoming History of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, 44 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON principal Fratry was on the west side of the Cloister. This will then be the building which was converted into the Great Hall of the Hospital. It was much injured in the fire of 1666, and though repaired for a time was finally pulled down in 1680. The Hall which was then erected was 130 feet long and 34 feet wide Its south end was built on the old north wall of the church, and allowing for the entrance, the Hall thus ex tended to the north-west corner of the Cloister. The north side of the Great Cloister was occupied by Whittington's Library, which escaped destruction in the Fire and survived in a somewhat mutilated condition till 1827. It is said to have been 129 feet long and 31 feet broad ; ' this shows that its east end was flush with the east wall of the east side of the Cloister, as its west end was at the north-west inner corner of the Cloister. The " Reper tory Book " records that there were twenty-eight desks and settles in the Library, " and also there be certain old books upon the said desks "? On the east side of the Cloister the " Repertory Book " places the Chapter-house, which was 60 feet long and 27 feet wide. According to the same authority there were little rooms above in the Dortor. The Chapter-house would not have oc cupied much more than half of this side. Probably the Studies occupied part of the remainder, for the cell of the Master of the Study is described as "in medio ambulatorii," ' and there would not have been any room for it in the other walks of the Cloister. The fact that the old Grammar School of the Hospital was in this position lends some confirmation, for the ancient buildings of the friars would naturally be adapted to similar uses. Moreover the cell of the Master of the Study is mentioned in conjunction with the "os tium barbariae". The barber's shop would probably be close to the lavatory, which in its turn is described as "juxta ' Trollope, History of Christ's Hospital, pp. 10, 105 (with illustration) ; Trans actions of London and Middlesex Archaeological Association, iv., 423. » See also the reference in the Letters Patent on p. 230 below. ' See p. 171 below. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 45 vestibulum ".' So it is reasonable to suppose that the barber's shop was somewhere in the south part of the East Cloister, and that the lavatory was in the low building on the north of the yard adjoining the chapel of St. Mary.^ In the lavatory was the "lavacrum " of copper lined with lead, which was specified in the grant to Christ's Hospital.' The buildings on the south side of the Cloister were so close to the church that they were probably of no great height ; the upper floor seems to have included the Little Dormitory. The grant of i 543 speaks of the hollow angle where the Great and Little Dormitories met ; the Little Dormitory must there fore have been in a building at right angles and was probably on the south side of the Cloister, the upper floor of which was adapted as the ward for the " mayden children " of Christ's Hospital.* The new buildings erected after 1666 covered the site both of the south side of the Cloister, and of the yard be tween the Cloister and the church, the original building not having been more than 20 feet wide' Some remains of the mediaeval arches were preserved till recently in the modern buildings on the south side ; they belonged apparently to the fifteenth century and indicate that there were ten bays. There were the same number of bays in Whittington's Library. It is possible that both the north and south walks were rebuilt at the same time. The plan drawn in 16 17 and now preserved at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, shows ten bays in the north and south walks, but twelve each in the east and west ; this would agree with the greater length of the two latter. But the Register * im plies that there were ten "fenestrae" on all four sides of the Great Cloister, and the ancient plan at Christ's Hospital '' agrees. However, old views of the west side indicate that then it had ^ See p. 171 below. " The St. Bartholomew's Hospital plan shows a low covered building here. 2 See p. 224 below. * Trollope, History of Christ's Hospital, pp. 104, 105. ' Trans.

The block at the north-west corner (west of the Library, and north of the P'ratry) was in the time of Christ's Hospital occupied by the Buttery and other offices. Here a staircase led up to a landing-place attached to the Hall. "With this landing-place the Kitchen, which was over the Buttery, communicated ; a peculiar building surrounded by a thick old wall." ' The " Repertory Book " speaks of " one low room, one other, two more, one on the left hand and the other on the right of the entry going up to the Fratry, the common buttery and the common kitchen, two little chambers on the south and north of the kitchen, and a parcel of void ground on the north side of the kitchen. Then one great hall 72 feet long and 24 feet wide, with a chimney." There was certainly a Hall at right angles to the Great Cloister, extending westwards, nearly on the lines of the Library, to the north-east corner of the Little Cloister. It may possibly have been the Fratry of the Infirmary. The Kitchens and Buttery would have been in a convenient position both for it and for the Fratry on the west of the Great Cloister. Underneath this Hall was a narrow covered way, leading from the Great to the Little Cloister which, in Christ's Hospital days, was called The Creek ; behind it on the north were various conventual offices.^ Partly on its foundations and partly on the site of the City Wall the last Great Hall of the Hospital was erected in 1829. The Little Cloister must have been a very small place ; the inside measurements, as shown on the St Bartholomew's Hos pital plan, being 45 feet from east to west, and about 50 feet from north to south. I have no ancient note of the buildings which surrounded it. But probably the Infirmary was on the north side, for this was the position of the Sick Ward of Christ's Hospital. The Sick Ward was rebuilt in 1732 over extensive ' Trollope, M.S., p. 351. 2 The Letters Patent (see p. 229 below) refer to " Aulam nostram et Cel- larium nostrum subtus eandem". THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 47 arched vaults forming three sides of a quadrangle' Presumably this was on the old foundations of the Little Cloister. Since the hospice, which William Albon built, was near the Infirmary,^ Canon Pearce is probably right in suggesting that the dole- house and guest-house were also in the Little Cloister. I have only attempted to describe the character and position of those buildings as to which we have some definite informa tion. But there were no doubt other buildings, both to the east of the Great Cloister and in the south-west part of the precincts. The Gate-house opposite St Ewen's Church in Newgate Street was a considerable building, which included the dwelling leased to William and Elizabeth in 1440.' The St. Bartholomew's plan shows a large gateway, with a small door for foot passengers on the east side. At right angles to the Gate-house, on the north-west, the same plan shows the tenement which Anne Lythego or Lego occupied before 1544.* The plan also shows other buildings in the space to the south of the Little Cloister, and west of the church ; but there is nothing to identify them, and we cannot be certain that the plan, though based on older material, represents exactly what existed at the time of the Surrender in 1538. But it would seem probable that somewhere in this quarter was the Prior's lodging which, in the reign of Queen Mary, was leased with two gardens to John Christopherson,* the Romanist bishop of Chichester who, when he died in 1558, was buried in the church ; the description given of Dr. Vaughan's lodging seems to refer to this building." Though there must have been a good deal more building than it is possible to show on the plan, there was also a considerable amount of open ground. The friars had certainly a garden in the north-east corner,'^ and the open space to the west of the church long retained the name of "The Greyfriars" ; the latter represents the Cemetery of the friars to which reference is made in the deeds of 1397-1398.^ There were certainly also gardens on 1 Trollope, p. 351 ; Pearce, pp. 56-58.

An interesting topic calls for treatment here by reason of the detailed account given in the Register. This is the provision made for an adequate water-supply for the Convent. The original water-supply was secured in the reign of Henry III., when William le Tailour gave the first water-head, and the King, Salekin de Basing, Henry Frowyk, and Henry de Basing contributed to the cost of the aqueduct. These names would of themselves indicate a date about 1250, though Frowyk is presumably the man who was sheriff in 1275 and died in 1286. The fact that the original source of the statement appears in Thomas of Eccleston's History' shows that the date was earlier than 1258. This evidence agrees with the grant by Henry III. of fourteen and a half marks to the Friars Minors of London for their aqueduct, in 125 5-1 256.* About fifty years afterwards Geoffrey of the Chamber built the house at the second water-head, repaired the old one, and remedied all defects throughout. In this work he was aided by three other citizens, Alan Gille, Henry Darcy, and John Triple. Darcy was an executor of the will of John Triple, who died in 1325.* The extension can therefore be assigned confidently to the early years of the fourteenth century. When the buildings of Greyfriars were transferred to Christ's Hospital the water- supply was naturally included, and part of the system at all events remained in use till shortly after 1739, when the older ' In 1436 the houses at the corner of Stinking Lane and Newgate Street are described as bounded on the west by the tenements of London Bridge, on the north by the stone wall of the garden of the Friars Minors, and on the east by the little lane by which one goes from the Shambles to the said friars' garden {Cal. Pat. Rolls, Henry VI., ii., 598). '^ See p. 212 below. 3 De Adventu, p. 27. See p. 159 below. '¦Liberate Roll, 40 Henry III., m. 13, P.R.O.

A plan made in 1676' helps the understanding of the description of the water-course given in the text below, though the course of the pipes seems to have been a little altered. As described in the text the pipe was taken along the north side of Newgate Street to the Gate of the City, and then followed the line of Snow Hill, bending northwards to the cross-road formed by Holborn and Cow Lane ; here was the house of John Muchcheth standing at the corner of these two streets. Then the pipe turned sharply to the west, was carried under the Holbourn and so along the street to Leather Lane,^ where it turned north and was carried along the west side of the lane to the end, where it now enters the Clerkenwell Road. At this point the open fields were reached, and the pipe was then taken on a course at first west and then a little north of west to the original conduit, which was situated in the corner block of the present Chapel Street and Lamb's Conduit Street. From this first conduit the later extension ran in the same north-westerly direction for a quarter of a mile to the second conduit, which was in later times known as the Chimney or Devil's Conduit ; it was discovered in 1893 by Dr. Philip Norman, in the garden of 20 Queen's Square, Bloomsbury.' The tank, which was much below the present level, was reached by modern steps, continued by further steps in the ancient portion. In the mediaeval building (which was judged to be at least as old as the fourteenth century) an arched passage led to the tank, which was in a chamber 12' x I r with a barrelled vault, the arch running from north to south. The tank and chamber were destroyed in 1911-1912; up to that time it contained a considerable depth of water, though the entrance-pipe was blocked ; the water percolated under the 1 Reproduced in Archaologia, Ixi., 353. 2 In 1676 it continued along Holborn as far as Gray's Inn Road (the change was probably made in 1671, see Archaologia, Ixi., 353-354). It rejoined the old line at the point where it took a more northerly direction ; from here to the first conduit is a little over a furlong, so this is approximately the position of Thomas Basing's mill. "Archaologia, Ivi., 251-266. VOL. VI. 4 50 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON masonry, thus showing how wet the nature of the ground was. At the time of the destruction further remains were found; the original building, which was of ragstone, had clearly an upper part above ground ; to judge from the depth of made earth in the modern garden, the " little stone house " must have stood well up, so as to be easily seen from a distance, as stated below.' The Register describes the fountain-head as brought "a. short distance from the house of the head about fifteen paces beside the way which is the division of the parishes of St. Giles and St. Andrew ". At the west end of the garden of 20 Queen's Square were the parish marks of St. George the Martyr, and St. George Bloomsbury, which were cut off respectively from St. Giles-in-the-Fields, and St. Andrew Holborn two hundred years ago. Other references by Strype and Maitland con clusively identify the Queen's Square tank with the Devil's Conduit, which supplied Christ's Hospital.^ The original or White Conduit was found in August, 1 907, underneath a workshop in the rear of No. 13 Chapel Street' It is a chamber 9' x 6', with the entrance at the south, and a tank in the south-west corner. The walls are built of stone, probably obtained from Highgate, with an arched roof con structed of chalk, to which fact may be due the later name of the White Conduit. The tank would have served the purpose of a settling-chamber, before the water was passed through the pipes. In the Register it is stated that the friars obtained their principal supply from the older water-head ; and also that there was much loss through waste. Probably there was always trouble; in 166 1 the Court of Christ's Hospital were informed that the pipe was so defective that the house had little or no water. The whole distance from the farther Con duit to the Greyfriars was about a mile and a quarter, and the fall in that distance seems only to have been 24 feet, so that frequent clogging of the supply is not to be wondered at. ^ On p. 160. 2 Strype, Survey, Book IV., p. 75 ; Maitland, Hist. London, ii., 1316, ed. 1756. ' See Archaologia, Ixi., 347-356. An article by Dr. Philip Norman and Mr. E. A. Mann, giving a detailed description with plans and sections. THE SITE AND BUILDINGS 51 The Christ's Hospital plan shows a number of cesperils (or suspirals), vents to avoid the danger of the pipe being burst by pressure ; they probably also served as settling-tanks and as inspection-chambers for examination and repair of the pipes. These seem to be the "spurgella," of which three are mentioned in the account preserved in the Register ; the first at Holborn Bridge, the second at the north end of Leather Lane, and the third at Basing's mill. The Christ's Hospital plan shows cesperils at the first and third of these points ; the second was then off the line of the aqueduct. The later history of Greyfriars can only be summarised here. After the Surrender various tenements within the Con vent were granted for use as private dwellings,' whilst the church was shut up, and used as a store-house for goods taken in prizes from the French.^ However, in January, 1547, the king granted to the City of London the church, the build ings called " le Fratrye," " le Librarye," " le Dorter," and " le Chapterhouse,'' and the ground called " le Great Cloyster," and " le Little Cloyster".' The church was to be known as Christ Church, and to be the parish church of a new parish formed by the union of St Nicholas and St. Ewen, with so much of St. Sepulchre as lay within the walls. The church was reopened accordingly on 30th January, 1547; but in September of the same year not only were all the tombs pulled up, but all the altars, together with the stalls and walls of the Choir, taken away and sold.* It is said that the Choir was made smaller ; perhaps part of it was converted to other uses. As a Parish Church the church continued in use till its destruction by the Great Fire in 1 666, after which the existing Christ Church was built by Sir Christopher Wren on the site of the ancient Choir. The conventual buildings were granted to the City in 1547 to be adapted for the use of orphan child ren under the name of Christ's Hospital, and the first children 1 See pp. 225-229 below. 2 Stow, Survey ofLondon, i., 318 ; Monumenta Franciscana, ii., 206. ' See extracts from the Letters Patent on pp. 229-231 below. * Monumenta Franciscana, ii., 215. 52 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON were admitted five years later. The Cloister sufifered so severely in the Great Fire that all but the north side was not long afterwards rebuilt Most of the buildings then erected, together with Whittington's Library, were pulled down in the early part of the last century. But Christ's Hospital continued here till the removal of the school to the country in 1902. The part of the site within the Walls, comprising all that had belonged to the Grey Friars, was absorbed in the General Post Ofifice, the most recent buildings of which cover the ground on which the Convent once stood, the site of the church being alone reserved to religious uses. NOTE ON THE PLAN. As regards the church nothing can be added to Mr. Shepherd's care ful restoration, to which I must express my indebtedness. Those who seek for more detail may refer to his plan showing the position of all the tombs {Archceological f out nal, lix., 248). Mr. Shepherd's plan has also been followed for the Bridgehouse Rents. For the site generally the best source is the St. Bartholomew's plan ap. Transactions London and Middlesex Arch. Soc, v., 421. This plan was drawn in 161 7, apparently from material seventy years older. It combines architectural detail and ground plan in a manner puzzling to the uninitiated. I have to thank Mr. H. W. Cribb for the skill with which he deciphered it, and discovered the extraordinary accuracy of the underlying plan. I am also indebted to Mr. Cribb for the suggested solution of the difficult problem relating to the north-east corner as described in the Deed of February, 1543 (p. 224 below). That deed is unfortunately in parts very obscure. The ac counts in the St. Bartholomew's " Repertory Book " seem to be more trustworthy. Only a little detail has been obtained from the Register, re lating (conjecturally) to the east site of the Cloister. The law suit between Willoughby and Vandemot (see p. 227 below) gives some additional detail. A Christ's Hospital plan of c. 1665 affords a little help, but it is not drawn accurately to scale (see Pearce, Annals of Christ's Hospital, p. 300). The descriptions of buildings destroyed between 1820 and 1830 given in Trol- lope's History of Christ's Hospital are sometimes valuable ; the illustrations showing Whittington's library, etc., are also useful. It is worth noting that in addition to the actual site of the Greyfriars the St. Bartholomew's plan contains other valuable details of neighbouring topography, especially the existence of the second bastion in the City Wall, the gardens in the north-east corner, and the plan of the Shambles and Newgate market.

Consequenter incipiendo ex parte boriali primam fenestram 1 Walterus, MS. ; corrected to Simon by Stow. It is difficult to be certain which is meant, both were fishmongers ; Simon's known wife was called Alice, and Walter's Cristina. Simon was sheriff in 1364, mayor in 1368, and died in 1383. He made bequests to the four orders of friars (Cal. Wills, ii., 243). For Walter see note below. " Not identified. 3 Henry, Earl of Lancaster, died in 1345. * It is impossible to identify him for certain. A William Loveney was Keeper of the Great Wardrobe under Henry IV. (Wylie, Henry IV., iv., 197). Loveney's wife was buried " coram altaribus " ; see p. no above. The reglazing of this window may be due to its reconstruction when the porch was built after 1398. 5 The association of the names suggests identification with John Lovekyn mayor in 1348, 1358, 1365, and 1366, who died in 1368, and his servant and friend, the famous Sir William Walworth, mayor in 1380, who died in 1386. But Lovekyn had two wives called Mabel and Margaret ; the latter survived him. William Walworth's wife was Margaret; I cannot say whether he married his master's widow (see Herbert, Livery Companies, ii., 56-58). There was a John Walworth, vintner, who died in 1396, but his wife was called Agatha (Cal. Wills, ii., 324)- 8 On St. Maurice's Day, 15th January, 1363. ' Sheriff, 1335, died, 1351, leaving money to the five orders of friars in London ; mentions his wife Cristina in his will (Cal, Wills, i., 653).

" It is not quite clear what is meant. One Adam Fraunceys was a celebrated London merchant, mayor, 1352-1354, died, 1375 (Cal. Wills, ii., 171). But he does not seem to have been a knight. 3 I cannot find a Thomas Cavendish, goldsmith ; it might be conjectured to refer to Thomas Cavendish, mercer, who was a prominent citizen, and died in 1348, but that he was buried at St. Thomas Aeon (Cal. Wills, i., 547 ; Watney, Hist. St. Thomas of Aeon, 30), whilst the reference here is presumably to the Thomas Candysch, whose burial is recorded on p. 122 above.

Frater Willelmus Goddard," senior, doctor Oxonie disertissimus, jacet Londonie. 39. Frater Johannes Perseualle,^ doctor Oxonie, jacet Londonie.* 1 Occurs as Minister in a list of rectors of provinces in 1438. (Wadding, Annates, xi., 49.) Thomas was provincial minister in 1449. (P.R.O., Conventual Leases, Yorkshire, 900.) Thomas Radnor was apparently not Minister in Nov ember, 1457 — see next note. But he reappears in March, 1458 (see p. 211 below), and again on 29th November, 1465. (Barrett, History of Bristol, p. 571 ; for another reference in 1465 to Friar Thomas, Minister, see Archaeologia Aeliana, new ser., iii., 146.) Apparently he held office twice, first about 1438-1450, and secondly about 1458-1465. " Bishop Pecock -wrote a letter addressed Doctori ordinis fratrum minorum Godard describing modern preachers as " claraatores in pulpitis ". Afterwards in November, 1457, it was " Doctor William Goddard, the elder, that was pro- vincialle of the Grayfreeres " (Greyfriars Chronicle ap. Mon. Franc, ii., 175) who appeached the bishop for heresy. It would therefore seem that Goddard was Minister between Radnor's two terms, i.e. circa 1450 to 1458. On 6th Nov ember, 1465, William Gregory bequeathed him 20s. calling him simply " maister Godard thelder a nother frere minour". (Collections of a London Citizen, p. xiii.) In 1470 Friar William was again Provincial Minister (Additional Charter, 37678) ; this may be Goddard. On 30th September, 1470, Goddard was put up at St. Paul's to preach that Henry VI. was the new king ; this suggests that he was in politics a supporter of Warwick. On 6th March, 1472, in the will of Sir John Crosby there is a bequest to "Maister Godard thelder". In 1477 the Duke of Clarence brought " famosum Doctorem ordinis Minomm M. Willielmum Goddard " to recite his confession of innocence before the Council. (Croyland Chronicle, 561.) There is no proof that Goddard was Provincial Minister on either of these last two dates. However in a record dated 4th October, 1485, William Goddard appears as Provincial. This can hardly refer to William Goddard the younger (see p. 60 above), who is said to have died on 26th September, 1485 ; moreover, as Mr. Little points out, there is no e-vidence that the younger Goddard was ever Provincial, and he was not buried in the Choir, as all the Ministers mentioned in the Register were. Probably the elder Goddard held office twice or, if the references for 1470 and 1485 both refer to him, possibly three times. If 1470 and 1485 both fell in the same term, Radnor and Goddard must have held office in turn for all or nearly all the fifty years between 1438 and 1487. In the manuscript " 1437 " was added in a later hand after " disertissimus," but subsequently erased ; perhaps the true date was 1487. The words "jacet Londonie " are also an addition, probably based on the entry on p. 72 above. 3 He was Provincial in February, 1498 ; see p. 211 below. According to Wood (Fasti, 6) he became D.D. about 1500. On p. 73 above he is said to have died on i6th December, 1505. Possibly a name is missing between Goddard and Perseval, and one at least is certainly missing between Perseval and Standish. -¦ A later Irand added " 1505 " which has been erasid. 196 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON 40.

He was apparently dead before this record was written, circa 1526, and it is strange that his successor is not given. Dr. William Call or Cale was Provincial between 1531 and November, 1538; he was subservient to Thomas Cromwell (id. ib.; Letters and Papers Henry VIII., ix., 301, xiii. (i.), 651, (ii.), 1211). The Francis can William Peto was Provincial in 1532 ; but he seems to have belonged to the Observant branch of the Order. 3 Jean de Brienne (d. 1237) became a friar at the end of his life. (Analecta Franciscana, iii., 681; Gulubovich, i., 138.) * John, son ot the king of the Tartars, baptised as a child by the friars in 1340. (Analecta Franciscana, iv., 335.) 5 Hayton II.

' Nothing seems to be known of this writer ; but the material here quoted from his Chronicle appears to be derived from the Liber Conformitatum of Bar tholomew of Pisa.

THE CHAPEL OF ST. LOUIS. This document {Exchequer (K.R.) Accounts, 507/S, P.R.O.) is to be dated about 1305. Of the Chapel of St. Louis nothing else is known ; but for the reason given on p. 35 above it was probably at the east end of the South aisle of the nave. It will be observed that the total of the items amounts to 36/. 1 7s. gd., or tenpence less than the " summa " as given ; the original is very worn, and in places difficult to decipher ; the cost of lead for the window seems to have included some odd pence ; perhaps, therefore, that item should read " xxvj. xd. ". Mary de St Pol, Countess of Pembroke, bequeathed to the Grey Friars in 1 377 a gold chalice and image of St. Louis (Sharpe, Cal Wills, Husting, ii., 195); but this is speci fied as for the high altar.

LEASE OF BRIDGEHOUSE RENTS. 2nd July, 1397- As explained on pp. 32-33 above, the Friars leased the greater part of their Newgate Street frontage to the City by two sets of deeds executed in 1368 and 1 397-1398. In the Register (pp. 1 71-76 above) there are English versions of two deeds; the first dated ist March, 1368, relating to the Rents on the south side of the Church; the second, dated ist March, 1398, relating to the Rents extending westwards from the south-west buttress of the Church. Mr. Shepherd printed the French original of the first from the Patent Roll of 42 Edward III. ; of the original of the second he could give only a Latin abstractifrom the Patent Roll of 20 Richard II. (Archceological fournal, lix., pp. 262-266). For some reason which does not appear the deed of 1st March, 1398, was a repetition of an earlier deed of 2nd July, 1 397. In the meantime John Bruyll had replaced Robert Hynton as Guardian ; it is possible that the change may have made the execution of a fresh deed desirable. The deed of 2nd July, 1397, was entered in Letter- Book H. at the Guildhall, from which it is here printed in full. Except for the change in the names of the Guardian and Mayor the terms of the two deeds are identical ; but the English version taken by itself is not free from obscurity ; its understanding will be made easier by comparison with the French original here given.

[This letter is printed in Trollope's History of Christ's Hospi tal, pp. 21, 22, as the "Deed of Surrender ". That of course it is not. It would seem to be a letter drawn up to accompany the Deed. Trollope states that it was preserved in the Aug mentation Office, but I have not succeeded in tracing it. Similar letters were, however, written on behalf of other houses of friars; see p. 236 below. According to Trollope it was signed by Chapman and twenty-five friars (no doubt as in the Deed below ; but Trollope found the signatures illegible). He says the seal is attached, showing two friars, one of whom holds a cross with a triangular shrine in which a saint [ ? St Paul] is seated ; between the friars is a tree with birds thereon.

DOCUMENTS 219 XIII. THE DEED OF SURRENDER. [This deed is preserved at the Public Record Office — Augmentation Office, Deeds of Surrender — and has still attached to it the seal of the Convent in a somewhat damaged condition. It is a purely formal and legal document of less human interest than the letter which seems to have accompanied it (No. xii. above). But it is the last act of the Franciscans of London. Of the twenty-five signatures, those of Watts and Boto seem clearly to be written by old men ; Parker's signature is peculiar in form ; Kello's name has been printed previously as Rello, but the former is clearly correct and identifies him with the Observant of 1535 ; the name of the last friar is Pestrel, and not Pestel as sometimes given. The greater part of the Deed is of course " common form " and. not peculiar to Greyfriars.] Omnibus Christi fidelibus ad quos presens scriptum pervenerit nos, Thomas Chapman, theologie doctor, frater, Gardianus domus siue prioratus fratrum minorum ciuitatis London, et eiusdem loci conuentus, salutem in domino sempiternam.

LIMITS OF THE NORTH-EASTERN PART OF THE SITE. A grant of part of the site of Greyfriars to Sir John Williams and Sir Edward North in February, 1 543, is defined in the extract given below. It is not altogether easy to DOCUMENTS 223 follow ; since the boundary of the grant starts from the north east corner of the Church and runs through the length of the Choir, " orientaliter " must be used in the sense of easterly, from the east. The first door of the Cloister is at the entry from the Walking-place. The next door is in the south-west corner of the Cloister, which is described as "angulum con- cavum in convexione maioris et minoris Dormitorii," for this the St. Bartholomew's plan seems to supply an explanation ; in the plan the vaulting at this point is indicated in a somewhat different manner to that adopted for the other corners ; here was the principal entry into the Cloister, by a way that led from the Friars' cemetery ; we may conjecture that the meeting- place of this way with the South and West Walks was provided for by a more spacious vaulting than was required elsewhere. The next stage in the description would seem to fix the Chapter house at the south end of the West Walk, and shows that the Great Dortor ran the whole length of the Cloister ; but as regards the position of the Chapter-house this is probably incorrect (see p. 43 above). The boundary on the north is clear till it reaches "the little garden that belonged to tbe City"; the St Bartholomew's plan shows a garden against the City Wall as marked on the plan in this volume, and this is probably the one intended. But the whole description is vague and diificult to interpret ; possibly the boundary ran round this garden, finally going northwards, we can thus give " australiter " a signification analogous to that which is clearly applied before to " orientaliter " ; in that case the Friars must have had a garden east of the City Garden and the words "per murum ut ibidem stat " may then apply to the irregular outline of Nor thumberland House garden on the east side of Stinking-Lane. Tbe plan shows "a court" on the west of the Lane, immedi ately north of the Vestry ; this Court clearly communicated with the Lane, but apparently not with the Greyfriars ; I con jecture that it represents the tenements which had belonged to the Charterhouse. We then reach " the pale of the Friars garden" ; the description seems to be imperfect and is difficult to follow, but the boundary ran at one point " occidentaliter " 224 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON (from the west) and finally came out on the east front [of the Church] and so to the north-east corner of the Choir whence it started ; it does not seem to be possible to get any meaning out of this except on the theory that it relates to a garden on the east side of the Lane ; there was a garden in this position, with a door nearly opposite to the Friars Vestry, and with its south-west corner over against the centre of the east front of the Church. See further on p. 31 above, and the plan p. 52. The Grant is calendered in Letters and Papers, Henry VIIL, xviii., p. 132. Videlicet ab angulo orientali chori Ecclesie dicte dudum fratrum Minorum, qui est versus partem borealem, decurrendo orientaliter contigue per longitudinem eiusdem chori versus primum ostium ad porticum magni claustri ibidem et abinde usque ad proximum ostium claustri iuxta capitalem domum orientaliter usque ad angulum concavum in convexione maioris et minoris Dormitorii, et ab eo angulo per directam lineam decurrendo ab eadem ecclesia a parte australi per longitudinem dicti magni Dormitorii et Domus Capitularis ibidem et per residuum dicti magni Dormitorii contigue septentrionem versus usque ad murum dicte ciuitatis London., et abinde eundo in longitudine eiusdem muri ad orientem usque ad angulum cuiusdam orti pertinentis dicte ciuitati et ab eo angulo orti a septentrione et ad austrum per longitudinem muri adiacentis mansionem vocatam Northumberland place et delude continuando australiter versus contigue per murum ut ibidem stat usque quedam tenementa dudum pertinencia nuper prioratui siue domui Carthusie prope civitatem nostram London, predictam modo dissoluto usque le Garden pale orti dudum pertinentis dictis nuper fratribus modo vel nuper in tenura cuiusdam Johannis Clynton, ciuis et Grocer London., directe usque ad orientem partem dicti chori versus austrum et inde occidentaliter per longitudinem pale dicti orti usque ad orientalem frontem et sic ad angulum primum dicti chori ; ac omnia et omnimoda domos, aedificia, cameras, curtilagia et gardina infra bundas, metas, et limites predictas situata, jacentia, sive existentia, unacum omnibus et omnimodis DOCUMENTS 225 aquis et aqueductibus, viis, ingressibus et egressibus ad et in premissa dicto nuper domui dudum fratrum Minorum spec tantia et pertinentia, ac ad et in quamlibet inde parcellam ab antiquo habita, consueta sive usitata, necnon libertatem, facul tatem et auctoritatem de tempore ad tempus haurendi, ac- cipiendi et babendi apud aqueductum sive canalem vulgariter nuncupatum le Conduyte situatum et existentem infra claustra sive claustrum dicti nuper domus dudum fratrum Minorum.

The grant to Willoughby was the subject of a lawsuit In 1545 he made a petition in chancery showing that in the 35th 1 His tenements were on the north of the Little Cloister (see p. 230 below). The St. Bartholomew's "Repertory Book" speaks of: "One nether lodging with a little hall and two chambers, one buttery, coal-house, and kitchen, and parcel of void ground between the lodging and London Wall in the tenure of Richard Tredwaye ". " See p. 226 above. 3 See p. ai2 above. DOCUMENTS 227 year of his reign the King bad granted him for life " a tene ment late in the tenure of tbe ladye Rose Walloppe, wydow, dyssesyd, situatyd next the mansion callyd Doctur Vaughan's Lodgyng withyn the precynct of the late house of the late fryers mynores commenly callyd the gray ffreres withyn the cyte of London with the Hall, Chambyr, Kychen and dyvers other houses &c.," and that on 14th January last John Vandernot " physyssyon " had without just cause entered thereon and kept possession. Vandernot in his answer alleged that Jerome and Francis Benall on 8th December, 1541, had a grant " by the name of the Tenement and Mansion and oon garden lying in the West end of the Churche of the house of the late ffryers Mynors, between the said Churche of the East parte and the Kynges hyghe wey there leadyng from the grete gate to the second cloyster of the said house on the west parte, and the second cloyster on the north parte, and the Kynges bygh wey there ledyng from the grete gate into the Churche on the south parte, together with the conduyt of water " ; this he alleged that William Vaughan, clerk, deceased, held. Further that Thomas Persse [Percy] had on nth Sep tember, I 544, a grant of the reversion after the Benalls died ; of which he, the defendant, had a conveyance ; he denied that he had entered on any premises not covered by this grant. In his Replication Willoughby denied that Vaughan had occupied the houses in question, or that they were part of the grants alleged. Vandernot rejoined that Vaughan took the rents, and that Lady Wallop was his tenant (Augmentation Office, Misc. Books, 12/35, P-R-O.). In subsequent interro gatories in the suit the deponents were asked whether they knew "the kychyn, entre, parlar, with the aulter there, the old garett above the said parlar, a Chamber called a study with the lead above, and the stayers lying within the precincte of the Grey frieres agaynst the second cloyster " ; whether they were parcell of Vaughan's lodging ; whether he occupied them ; and whether he did not let them to Lady Wallop, etc. Amongst the deponents were two former friars of the house, Edmund Tomson of St Clement without Temple Bar, chap- 228 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON lain, aged forty- three years — on nth November, 1544 — who answered all questions in the affirmative ; and George Hovy, of St Botolph without Aldersgate, chaplain, aged thirty-six years, who answered the first question yes ; of the others he had no knowledge (Augm. Office, Misc. Books, 27 h^, P.R.O.). Doctor Vaughan's Lodging may from this description very probably have been the Guardian's Lodging. In 1547 Wil loughby held the Hall and Little Cloister (see p. 230 below). Since Dr Vaughan and Lady Wallop were dead in 1 544, the Extent, which is printed below, must be of earlier date. Most of the grantees appear in it ; Thomas Soulemont as Master Solyman ; Doctor Vaughan presumably as Doctor Vasium ; Anne Lythego may be the same as Johanna Lego, and the Anne Legoe of the St Bartholomew's plan (she died in 1 544, see p. 114 above) ; Thomas Yare is no doubt Thomas Ayer ; John Baynton appears as Caynton in the Extent, and is apparently the John Clynton of the grant of 1543 (see p. 224 above), whose garden was in the north-east part of the site. The plan of 16 17, preserved at St. Bartholomew's Hospi tal, is apparently based on material seventy years older ; it marks a tenement at right angles to the Gatehouse, "Ann Legoe," and a piece of ground in the north-west corner, " Bolton's Garden now Mallowes " ; this last was against the Wall to the West of the first bastion, I am not sure that the Friars' ground extended so far.

The only passages which are of interest for the history of Greyfriars are as follows : — Damns et concedimus Maiori et Communitati ac Ciuibus Ciuitatis nostre London, totam ecclesiam dudum fratrum Minorum vulgariter nuncupatam les Grey Freers infra Ciuitatem nostram London., ac totum scitum Domus dicte dudum Fratrum Minorum : Ac omnia edificia, terram et solum ecclesie predicte : Necnon omnia domos et edificia quondam vulgariter nuncupata le Fratrye, le Librarye, le Dortor, et le Chapiter House dicte domus dudum Fratrum Minorum, ac totam terram et solum vocatum le great Cloyster, et le littell Cloyster dicte Domus dudum Fratrum Minorum infra precinctum scitus domus dudum Fratrum Minorum predictorum : Necnon omnia ilia cameras et edificia nostra modo vel nuper in separalibus tenuris Georgii Woodward et Edwardi Metcalf scituata et existentia infra scitum, precinctum et circuitum dicte Domus dudum Fratrum Minorum : Ac etiam omnia ilia domos, edificia, cameras, et vacua funda nostra modo vel nuper in tenura Ewini Mone infra precinctum dicti scitus dicte Domus dudum Fratrum Minorum : Necnon totam illam cameram sive Aulam nostram et cellarium nostrum subtus eandem ac totum fundum infra parvum Claustrum infra precinctum dicti scitus dicte 230 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON Domus dudum Fratrum Minorum modo vel nuper in tenura Hugonis Willoughby, unius servientium nostrorum ad arma, pro termino vite sue, ac totam illam partem domorum et edificiorum vocatam le Dortor dicte Domus dudum Fratrum Minorum modo vacuam et non occupatam existentem : Necnon omnia ilia domos, et edificia, et vacua funda nostra modo vel nuper in tenura Ricardi Tredray ex boreali parte parvi Claustri dicte domus dudum Fratrum Minorum predictorum : Ac omnia alia domos, edificia, gardina, vacua funda, terras, tenementa, et alia hereditamenta nostra quecunque, cum suis pertinenciis, scituata, jacentia et existentia infra circuitum et precinctum dicti scitus dicte domus dudum Fratrum Minorum predictorum : Ac reversionem et reversiones omnium et singulorum premiss orum, ac redditus et annualia proficua quecunque reservata super quibuscunque dimissionibus et concessionibus de premissis seu de aliqua inde parcella quoquo modo facta : Ac totam aliam terram et solum nostram quancunque infra precinctum dicte domus dudum Fratrum Minorum predictorum : Necnon totum plumbum, ac lapides, ferrum, vitrium, materiem et alia quecunque modo existentia et remanentia super premissis aut aliqua inde parcella. . . .

THE LIBRARY. Leland's list of manuscripts in the Library of the Grey Friars ^ was not intended to be exhaustive ; his ordinary prac tice in his lists was to give only historical works, and works by English writers. We cannot, therefore, draw from this list any positive conclusion as to the character of the Library pos sessed by the friars. Still it is instructive enough. Out of fifty works all but the first five deal with scholastic philosophy and theology. No less than 29 are known writings of English Franciscans, whilst the two volumes assigned to Wynchelsey certainly, and the one assigned to Sutton possibly, belong to the same category. Eight of the remainder are works of Dominican writers, and only five are of a miscellaneous char acter. Probably the list is a fair sample in so far as we might naturally expect philosophical and theological treatises to predominate, and the writings of English Franciscans to be strongly represented. A few additions can be made to the list In the first place it does not contain either the Commentaries of Nicholas de Lyra in two volumes, or the " Lectura domini Hostiensis " 1 Collectanea, iv., 49-51. 2 32 THE GREY FRIARS OF LONDON (Henricus Bartholomeus de Segusia), which were purchased in Wynchelsey's time.^ Another volume which does not appear in Leland's list is now Royal MS., 4 D. iv., at the British Museum ; this manuscript has on p. i the note, " 11. 29,^ Pos- tilla Bertrandi super Evangelia. Iste liber est de Conuentu fratrum Minorum London." Its contents are as follows : — I. Postilla Bertrandi super Evangelia. fif. 1-226. By Bertrand de Turre. 2. Johannes Wallensis, De Viciis, fif; 226-243. 3. Ejusdem Penitencia, ff. 244-262. 4. Egidius Romanus, De Regimine Principum, ff. 262-348. This is the only volume from the Greyfriars Library which has so far been identified. From the Register itself it seems that the Library must have possessed a copy of Thomas of Eccleston,. De Adventu Fratrum ' (probably with supplementary matter similar to that in Cotton., Nero, A. ix., which belonged to the Francis cans of Hereford), and probably also the Chronica of Friar Richard of Durham * (whatever this may have been). Stow speaks of " an old book written by one friar Jones, in the Greyfriars Library " ; he quotes from it an account of the feast at Goldsmith's- Hall in 1503; so it was probably historical. These last names indicate that Leland's list was not exhaus tive even of historical works, and works by English writers.^ In bibliotheca Franciscanorum Londini. Vita S. Edwardi martyris, ignoto autore. Historia jlvonisiCarnotensis,^ inc. Assyriorum igitur rex. Sigeberti ^ monachi historia. 1 See p. 170'above. " " 29 " is the^press mark ; " 11 " (perhaps used for the capital L) the case letter; so there were at least 11 cases, and at least 29 volumes in a case; of course both cases and volumes may have been more numerous. 3 See pp. 3, 16 above.

The process of indexing has called attention to the numerous instances of goldsmiths (i6), fellows of Gray's Inn (9), and advocates of the Court of Canterbury (7) who were buried in Greyfriars Church. The Goldsmiths' quarter was close to the con vent, in Wood Street, and Guthron Lane. The offices of the Pre rogative Court of Canterbury were also close by in Ivy Lane. Whilst the Greyfriars was the nearest church of importance to Gray's Inn. P. 7, line 6. The added names are Thomas Cudnor, Richard Myhyll, James Longe, Robert Prowde, John Spence, Anne Tybbe, John Wodde, and John Wythewater. P. 26, lines 7- II. A similar formula is used in the surrenders of the Grey Friars of Aylesbury, Bedford, Coventry, and Stamford. {Letters and Papers, Henry VIIL, xiii. (ii.), 501, 525, 539, 564.) P. 27, line 24. The original of the deed by which the executors of Henry le Waleys released a rent of 35-. on the tenement of Thomas de Brauncestre in exchange with Trinity Priory (see pp. 155 and 162 above) is in Ancient Deeds, A. 2179 at the Record Office. P. 65. Thomas Canynge : a Thomas de Canynge, O.F.M., was ordained priest by the bishop of Worcester in the parish church ofFoleham, diocese of London, on 21st January, 1308 (Weare, The Friars Minors of Bristol, p. 46). P. 65. Richard Dane, see Watney, History of St. Thomas Aeon, p. 294, under date 1401. P. 74. John, son of Robert Chalons, together with his daughter Katherine, is alleged to be buried at Whitefriars, in Harley MS. 6033, f- 9- P. 78. John Aleyn, doctor of laws, and Anne, his wife, occur in 145s (Col. Pap. Reg. xi., 226). P. 80. Thomas Gloucestre and William Cantelowe (cf. pp. 208- 10) occur as parties to a deed in 1442 {Ancient Deeds, C. 3154)- P. 82. "Frere William de Appilton, phisicien et surgien" was retained in the service of John of Gaunt in 1373 {John ofGaunt's (236) ADDENDA 237 Register, 836). In the Anominalle Chronicle of 1381 he is styled " grant justiciaire et surregene et grand maester ovecque le roy et due de Lancastre " (Engl. Hist. Rev., xiii. 517). He was beheaded by the rebels under Wat Tyler on 14th June, 1381 (id. ; Riley, Memorials of London, 450). P- 83. Nicholas Tremayn occurs as J.P. for Cornwall in 1422 {Cat. Fat. Rolls, Henry V., ii., 423). P. 84. Richard Fylongley and Margery, his wife, occur in 1384 and 1391 ; Margery was dead before 15th March, 1401 {Ancient Deeds, A. 9831, A. 11 948-9). P. 90. John, son of Bartholomew Burghersh, was father of Maud, wife of Thomas Chaucer (the son of the poet). P. 92. Henry Bodrugan was a knight in January, 1477, and occurs as late as October, i486 (Ancient Deeds, A. 9473, A. 9933)- P. 99. John Bloyhou may have belonged to the Cornish family of Bloyow or Blochyou (see Calendar of Ancient Deeds, Vol. IV). P. 107. Henry Norbury, and Anne, his wife, occur on 5th Nov., 1448 (Cal. Pap. Reg. x. 385). P. no. Margaret Yonge by her will in 1500 directed her body to be buried in the south part of the Greyfriars Church at London, "that is to say afore the y mage of our Lady within the valens of the same church " (Kent Records, Sede Vacante Wills, p. 46). The " valens " probably means the screen between the Altars and the Nave. Her tomb, as described on p. no above, was " coram Altaribus," but was before the Jesus Altar. The Altar of St. Mary was on the north side, and the image of St. Mary (mentioned on p. 119 above) was apparently under the third window in the north aisle of the Nave. P. no. Alexander, son of Alan de Kyrketon, occurs in 13 13 {Ancient Deeds, A. 9717). P. in. Bernard de Primeroll, who held land in Dowgate, died in 1362 (Cat. Inq. p.m., ii., 254). P. III.

Richard Welford is possibly the sheriff of 13 n- 12 (see p. 156 above). P. 145, line 13. Thomas of Eccleston gives the name of the fourth friar as Melioratus. P. 155, line 6. The text follows the MS., but the words " Denariatas de tenemento Thome Branchester '' belong to the previous clause and should follow after "15 sol. 2d.". Repairs at Gre^yfriars. On 6 September, i486, Henry VII. made a grant of four oaks for the Church ot the Friars Minors in London {Materials for the History of Henry VII,, i., 548, Rolls Series).
