[777]. John Holles, first Earl of Clare (1564?–1637).
[778]. It seems probable that the land in question (which, being partly in St. Giles and partly in St. Pancras, was described sometimes as in one parish, sometimes in the other) is identical with the land in St. Pancras sold, together with Clement’s Inn, by Sir William Hawte to William (afterwards Sir William) Holles, ancestor of the Earls of Clare, in 1532 (Middlesex Feet of Fines, 23 Henry VIII., Hil.).
[779]. The boundary between St. Giles and St. Pancras used to run through the middle of the close.
[780]. Middlesex Registry Memorials, 1772, VI., 111.
