London (England) -- History
[365] The amount of the offerings at St. Paul's during the Middle
Ages must have been enormous; for instance, the receipts at the Great
Crucifix, in May 1344, amounted to no less than £50 in the money of
that day.--Dr. Sparrow Simpson's _History of Old St. Paul's_, p. 83.

[367] The late Dr. Sparrow Simpson's Documents illustrating the
History of St. Paul's Cathedral (Camden Society, 1880) contains a list
of altars in old St. Paul's (p. 178), and a list of chapels (p. 181).

[373] In connection with the history of the Austin Friars the fact
that the church of the friary still exists is one of great interest.
At the dissolution a large portion of the friary was given to Lord St.
John, afterwards Marquis of Winchester and Lord Treasurer. The church
was reserved by the King, and the nave still remains.
[374] Dugdale (_Warwickshire_, ed. 1730, p. 186), says that the
Patriarch Albert prescribed for the Carmelite Friars a parti-coloured
mantle of white and red, and that Pope Honorius III., disliking this,
appointed in 1285 that it should be all white.
