{63a} There having been but two Bishops of London with the Christian name of William, about the time of any eminence that the Chapel enjoyed, this must have been one of those two, William Laud or William Juxon; seeing that Laud licensed its rebuilding, and that his chancellor was so far interested in it as to give the Paten, I think it may be safely assumed that the small chalice was presented by the former. Laud was bishop from 1628 to 1633, when he was translated to Canterbury, and afterwards beheaded. Juxon succeeded him in the See of London, 1633 until 1660; he was the prelate present with Charles I. in his last moments. {63b} It was frequently dignified with the title of church. I have papers by me of 1837, so describing it. {65} “To forward Mr. Hervé’s plan for the support of such of the middle classes of society who have fallen upon evil days, the Rev. Mr. Harris has lent his chapel at Knightsbridge, where Mr. Hervé will deliver a lecture on Tuesday morning. . . . Mr. Harris, perhaps, thinks with us, that the most acceptable part of religion is that practice which comforts the afflicted, and benefits the unfortunate; and, if report be true, Mr. Harris does not confine himself merely to the recommendation of benevolent actions.”—_Examiner_, August 30, 1812. {67} Doubtless, when they were in private hands, they were kept by the clerk’s daughter, in 1819 (see Wilkinson’s _Londina Illustrata_); the account of the chapel in this work is very erroneous, but most of the papers therein published are missing. Dr. Wilson has the remainder in his custody, and they having lately been repaired by the author of this work, are likely to last many years. {78} See Correspondence at the end of Pepys’ “Diary,” vol. iv., pp. 235, 241, and 242. {86} The entries to which is affixed an asterisk are not at the Chapel Books now; they have been made away with since 1819, when they were copied for Wilkinson’s “Londina.” {87} Thomas Halley was clerk from 1664 to 1669, when William Hipsley was appointed: in Kensington register his burial is entered December 2nd, 1689, when Thomas Hipsley succeeded him. He appears to have been the builder and carpenter of the place, took great interest in the Revolution, and in the Wars against Louis XIV., as appears by some of his memoranda. He was clerk for many years. {88} The last beadle died in 1835, since when the office has been vacant.
