Hartwell Park, to the keeper of, 161, 240.

Harvy Sir Nicholas, to the nurse and midwife of his child, 197.
Ancestor of the Marquess of Bristol. He was gentleman of the privy
chamber to the king, and one of his favorites. Sir Nicholas was
thrice married and had issue by each wife; but it does not appear
which child was honored by having the king for one of its sponsors.
Hasilbone, to the keeper of, 161.
Hasilrigg Robert, 92.
Hastings and Rye, for a plat of, 91.
As every entry relating to the fine arts is of peculiar interest,
this is deserving attention; though from the word "plat" it would
appear, that it was a plan rather than a painting. The sum paid for
it to Vincent, the king's painter, was 3_l._ 10_s._ See PLAT.
Hat, paid for a, 60, 268.
Havering, 170.

These numerous items of money for hawks' meat are more fully
noticed at the commencement of the volume.
----, paid for taking up a, 256.
Hawks brought from the King of France, 269;
the expences of them, 275, 279.
---- to the Mew, 37.
The Mew was a close place in which hawks were confined whilst
moulting. "The Mews at Charing Cross were so called because Henry
the Eighth used them for his hawks on those occasions."--M.
Hawkyn, a falconer, 5, 31, 95, 140, 163, 181, 222, 236, 253, 287, 289.

Healed, to the people that the king, 156, 160, 161, 163, 164, 170,
203, 213, 217, 221, 225, 243, 249, 253, 264, 272, 278.
These entries were of payments made to persons whom the king
touched for the evil. It appears that they uniformly received
7_s._ 6_d._ each; a gratuity which at that period, and to poor
persons, was very considerable. It tends also in a great measure
to account for the prevalence of the custom; for a more convenient
superstition could scarcely be devised.
Heath Cock, for a, 103.
Hedge and a ditch, for making a, 194.
Henawd [_i. e._ Henault] Park, to the keeper of, 170.
