[B] Anthony Wood notes:--'you do not set downe the yeare that Mr.
Johnson died.' In 1683 Whitmonday fell on May 28. The reversion of the
Mastership of the Rolls was granted to Johnson Aug. 15, 1667, but Sir
Harbottle Grimston, appointed Nov. 3, 1660, did not die till Jan. 2,
1684/5.
=Inigo Jones= (1573-1652).
[34]Inigo Jones' monument[C]--this tombe is on the north side of the
church, but his bodie lies in the chancell about the middle. The
inscription mentions that he built the banquetting howse and the
portico at St. Paule's.--Mr. Marshall in Fetter lane tooke away the
bust, etc. here to his howse, which see. Quaere Mr. Oliver + de hoc.
[35]Inigo Jones: vide epitaph at Mr. Marshall's.
Mr. <John> Oliver, the city surveyor, hath all his papers and designes,
not only of St. Paul's Cathedral etc. and the Banquetting-house, but
his designe of all Whitehall, suiteable to the Banquetting house; a
rare thing, which see.
Memorandum:--Mr. Emanuel Decretz (serjeant painter to King Charles 1st)
told me in 1649, that the _catafalco_ of King James at his funerall
(which is a kind of bed of state erected in Westminster abbey, as
Robert, earl of Essex, had, Oliver Cromwell, and general Monke) was
very ingeniosely designed by Mr. Inigo Jones, and that he made the 4
heades of the Cariatides (which bore up the canopie) of playster of
Paris, and made the drapery of them of white callico, which was very
handsome and very cheap, and shewed as well as if they had been cutt
out of white marble.
