Footnote 298:
The house is referred to later on as “all that messuage, _etc._,
formerly called by the name of the Great Wardrobe” (_Middlesex
Registry Memorials_, 1811, VI., 104). It will be noticed that the
title “Queen Anne’s Wardrobe” given to the western half of Bristol
House in 1846 (Plate 16) is doubly incorrect. In the first place it is
assigned to the wrong half of Bristol House, and secondly the dates
show that it could not possibly have had any connection with Queen
Anne.

Shortly before 4th February, 1774, Sheridan took a house in Orchard
Street (Sanders’ _Life of Sheridan_, p. 23).

His name in the ratebooks is given as “Richard Sheridan” only, but a
deed of 1811, giving the names of occupants of the house mentions him
by his full name: “formerly in occupation of Benjamin Wilson, painter,
afterwards of John Henderson, sometime since in the possession of
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and now of Ann Boak, milliner.” (Indenture
of 20th June, 1811, between Jno. Kneller, Peter Tahairdin, and Thos.

false history comes to be written, it is interesting to note that Mrs.
Parsons describes the house as “an Inigo Jones house, in which five
men known to fame: Hudson, the painter; scritch-scratch Worlidge, the
etcher; Hoole, Tasso’s translator, whom Johnson loved; now Sheridan;
and after him, Chippendale, the cabinet maker, successively lived.”
None of the other individuals mentioned lived in the house occupied by
Sheridan.

Wheatley and Cunningham (_London Past and Present_, III., p. 137),
mentioning his residence, which they wrongly identify with Nos. 55–56,
say: “Here on October 18, 1740, the young Joshua Reynolds came to him
as a house pupil and remained under his roof till July, 1743.” Leslie,
in his _Life of Sir Joshua Reynolds_, also states that this occurred
at Hudson’s house in Great Queen Street. The ratebooks, however, show
quite clearly that in 1740–42, “Vanblew,” was in occupation, and that
from 1743 to 1745 the house was empty. The first year in which Hudson
is shown as the occupier is 1746. Reynolds’ residence with Hudson,
therefore, must have terminated before the latter had moved to the
house in Great Queen Street.
Footnote 375:
The entry “_Geo._ Hudson” in the issue of the ratebook for this year
is probably a mistake.
Footnote 376:
_The Dictionary of National Biography_ states that Worlidge settled in
Great Queen Street in 1763, and the fact that Hudson’s name appears in
the 1764 ratebook is not conclusive against this. On the other hand, a
deed dated 9th May, 1764, mentions the house as being then in the
occupation of Hudson (_Middlesex Registry Memorials_, 1764, II., 491).
Footnote 377:
The parish ratebook for 1764 shows Hudson still in occupation of the
house, but he had apparently built his house at Twickenham before
this. “In 1762 Reynolds dined one Saturday with his old master,
Hudson, at ‘Twitenham,’ where he had built a house in the meadows”
(Leslie’s _Life of Sir Joshua Reynolds_, I., p. 213).
Footnote 378:
A deed of 16th November, 1774, refers to the house as “formerly in the

A less known contemporary account is the following: “Wednesday night
last ... some mischievous persons to dishonour my Lord Chancellour
crept through a window of his house in Queen Street and stole the mace
and the two purses, but by good chance could not find the seal. There
was upon the table a great silver standish, and a thousand guineyes in
a cabinet, as they report, but nothing of them touched, the design
being upon another score than bare robbery” (Letter, dated 8th
February, 1676–7, from Edward Smith to Lord Rous, _Historical MSS.
Commission, Rutland MSS._, XII. Report, App. V., p. 37).
The entry in the Middlesex Sessions Records concerning the event is as
follows: “7 February, 29 Charles II.—True Bill that, at St.
Giles-in-the-Fields, Co. Midd., in the night between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.
of the said day, Thomas Sadler _alias_ Clarke, William Johnson _alias_
Trueman and Thomas Reneger, all three late of the said parish,
laborers, broke burglariously into the dwelling house of Heneage Lord
Finch the Lord Chancellor of the said Lord the King and then and there
stole and carried off a silver mace gilt gold worth one hundred pounds
and two velvet purses imbroydered with gold and silver and sett with
pearles, worth forty pounds, of the goods and chattels of the said
Lord the King. Found ‘Guilty,’ all three burglars were sentenced to be
‘hanged.’” (_Middlesex Sessions Records_, IV., p. 75).

Indenture of 19th July, 1798 (_Middlesex Registry Memorials_, 1798,
III., 185), referring to the sites of Nos. 67 and 68, recites the
lease so far as it concerns those sites. The recital also refers to
other ground dealt with by the lease, and this was almost certainly
the site of No. 66, which it is known was also a Mills house, the
eastern boundary of Conway House being described as “the messuage of
Peter Mills, bricklayer, now in the tenure of the Countess of Essex.”
(_Recovery Roll_ (_Common Pleas_), 17 Chas. I., Hilary (236).)
Footnote 420:
Peter Mills died in 1670, then being resident in Little St.
Bartholomew’s. (_Somerset House Wills, Penn_, 147.)
Footnote 421:
There is a clause referring to “such messuages and buildings as then
were or afterwards should be erected thereon,” which is quite
indefinite, but if there had been any houses the names of the
occupiers would almost certainly have been given. The _Finalis
Concordia_ relating to the transaction does not mention houses, but
only half a rood of pasture.

Footnote 423:
The occupier of No. 68 seems to have persisted later than 1709 (see
below). Moreover, the assessable value of No. 67 drops from £40 in
1703 to £25 in 1715 (the next record), a fact which seems to point to
the curtailment of the property due to the erection of the chapel.

Street, Bloomsbury.” The statement of Mrs. Parsons (_Garrick and his
Circle_, p. 143) that it was “at Dr. Francklin’s Chapel in Queen
Street (the modern Museum Street)” is based on unknown, but possibly
quite good, evidence.

Footnote 445:
_The Dictionary of National Biography_ states that her death also took
place in Great Queen Street. It is difficult to reconcile this with
the fact that the parish ratebook for 1795 shows that Francis Const
took up his residence in the house in the course of that year. She
was, however, certainly resident there on 4 June, 1795, the date of
her will.
