[90] In Miss Burney’s ‘Evelina’ (chap. xlv.), published January, 1778, there is an interesting list of places of amusement in the suburbs. The vulgar members of the Branghton family, and others, dispute as to which they shall visit in the evening. Miss Branghton votes for Saltero’s coffee-house; her sister for a party at Mother Red Cap’s; the brother for White Conduit House; Mr. Brown for Bagnigge Wells; Mr. Branghton for Sadler’s Wells, and Mr. Smith for Vauxhall. White Conduit House is at last fixed upon. The site of this is marked by a public-house—No. 14, Barnsbury Road; it was named after an ancient conduit which once stood hard by.
[91] Stow calls it the River of Wells, from the numerous springs that overflowed into it.
[92] There was another fairly good mantelpiece on the second-floor.
[93] I do not guarantee the completeness of the following list of work in the City said to have been by Inigo Jones, but it may be useful for reference. The Church of St. Catherine Cree, Leadenhall Street, has been popularly ascribed to him; it was consecrated by Laud, January 16, 1630-31, and is in pseudo-Gothic style. The Classic portico to old St. Paul’s Cathedral was designed by Jones in 1633. The repairs under his supervision were begun in April, 1631, and carried on for more than nine years. The Church of St. Alban’s, Wood Street, may have been his work; it replaced the old church, pulled down in 1632. This was destroyed in the Great Fire. The hall, theatre, and court-room of the Barber-Surgeons’ Company were built by him, apparently in 1636. The hall was destroyed in the Great Fire; the theatre, which had been restored by the Earl of Burlington, was pulled down in 1763. It has been stated that the latter rebuilt the court-room; Mr. Young, however, in his ‘Annals of the Barber-Surgeons’ (1890), declares positively that it is the work of Inigo Jones, repaired after the Fire. He is said to have also built Thanet House, Aldersgate Street, which survived till 1882.
[94] ‘Marriage, Baptismal, and Burial Registers of the Dutch Reformed Church, Austin Friars, from 1571 to 1874,’ edited by W. V. C. Moens.
[95] On the 15th of April, 1630, occurs the following entry: ‘Petronela Laurence widdowe, a Dutchwoman, was buryed in ye ten shilling ground, att lower end of ye men’s pewes.’ I am tempted to add the following curious baptismal entry from the register. ‘Sept. 1, 1611.—Job-rakt-out-of-the-asshes, being borne the last of August, in the lane going to Sir John Spencer’s back gate and there laide in a heape of seacole asshes, was baptized the first day of September following and dyed the next day after.’
[96] The old spelling is still retained, as in the entry of Adam’s baptism at the Dutch Church.
[97] The name is spelt in various ways. He may have been of the family of Sir John Cullum, Sheriff of London in 1646, on the site of whose mansion Cullum Street, hard by, is built.
[98] From this I infer that she and her husband came to live in the parish after Adam’s death. Their son John was born December, 1661, and died a few months afterwards.
