[128]. The entries in the ratebook, from the corner of Duke Street (now represented by the first courtyard to the east of Grape Street) to the corner of Bow Street, are as follows:—Jonathan Dodswell, 2 houses (£20); Samuel Chandler (£20); Nathaniel Chandler (£25); John Lacost (£25); Mr. Anthony Elmes (£70); Thomas Gwilliam (£20); Alexander Masters (£16); John Pettit (£10).
[129]. This rough identification is confirmed by the fact that The Rose can be shown by comparison of particulars given in various deeds to have been the 8th house westward from the Pale Pingle, the westernmost limit of which seems to have been opposite the centre of the frontage of the White Hart property. (See Plate 2).
[130]. Middlesex Feet of Fines, 16 Chas. I., Trin. Of course, in the absence of more definite details, there is nothing to prove that this refers to The Rose.

[133]. “July 8, 1640. Warrant to the Petty Constables of the parishes of St. Giles-in-the-Fields and St. Clement’s Danes to give notice to the persons whose names are underwritten to appear ... before Sir John Hippisley and Sir Henry Spiller to show cause why they neglect and refuse to cleanse and repair their parts of a common sewer near Lewknor’s lane, St. Giles-in-the-Fields, which has become a public nuisance.” (Calendar of State Papers, Domestic, 1640, p. 459). This sewer, which ran about 74 feet north of Lewknor’s lane (Parton’s Hospital and Parish of St. Giles, p. 101), seems to have originally, as an open ditch, formed the boundary between Rose Field and Bear Close.
