_Simon Bache._--In the parish church of Knebworth, Herts, is the brass of a
priest, with the following inscription:--
"Hic jacet Dominus Simo Bache, Clericus, quondam _Thesaurarius
Hospitii_ illustrissimi Principis Domini Henrici Quinti Regis Angliae,
ac Canonic. Ecclesiae Cathedralis Sancti Paulli, London; qui obiit xix.
die Maii. Anno Dom. nostr. 1414."
Can any of your readers inform me what this office of _Thesaurarius
Hospitii_ was; also, who Simon Bache was that held it; and how it happens
that he is buried at Knebworth?
