[81] In that year the last Lord Hatton died; the bishops resigned Ely House to the Crown, and received No. 37 Dover Street in exchange. The chapel, after years of neglect, has also been suffered to pass out of the hands of the Church into those of the Romanists. See Walks in London by A. C. Hare, vol. ii. pp. 196–201.

From the same authority it appears that most of the clerks deprived in 1662 had other callings, e.g. cobbling, gloving, skinning, bookselling, husbandry, and to these they generally returned.
