+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FOOTNOTES: | | | | [1] Mr G. H. Birch, F.S.A., the Curator of the Soane Museum, | | says of the extent of the Roman city, that it was “originally | | of smaller extent, and did not include the space now marked out | | by the line of apparently Roman walls, the proof being that | | interments have been found in the extended space, notably at | | the Union Bank of London and at Bow Churchyard, Cheapside. The | | first Roman city extended from the Tower to Aldgate, then along | | Leadenhall Street to Cornhill, returning by Wallbrook to Dowgate, | | and thence along Thames Street. Several of the bastions, notably | | the one in Camomile Street, are composed of destroyed Roman | | buildings and sculpture, and the work, although built in the | | Roman manner—that is, with courses of Roman tiles or bricks—is | | coarser in execution than the portion of the real Roman wall at | | Postern Row and Aldgate.” | | | | [2] “As to the date of the extension,” writes Mr Birch, “it is | | difficult to say, but it was probably after the withdrawal of the | | Romans, but I hardly think as late as Alfred. The building points | | to the work of partly Romanised inhabitants, who would have been | | able to build only in the manner taught them by the Romans.” | | | | [3] The wax effigies of the Kings and Queens covered with tawdry | | robes and gilt pasteboard crowns are far more attractive to the | | holiday crowd of visitors in the Abbey of Westminster than the | | tombs and shrines of the dead; and Madame Tussaud’s show attracts | | the public more than the National Gallery. | | | | [4] This is the King’s or Queen’s House, according to the sex of | | the reigning Sovereign. | | | | [5] He was the youngest son of John Apsley of Pulborough, Sussex. | | He purchased the office of Lieutenant of the Tower from his | | predecessor Sir George Moore, for £2500, and was sworn into | | office, March 3rd, 1617, which he held until his death, May 24th, | | 1630; he was also Surveyor of Victuals for the Navy. Whilst | | Lieutenant of the Tower, Sir Walter Raleigh was in his custody. | | He was thrice married. His second wife was Anne, daughter and | | heiress of Sir Peter Carew, by whom he had issue two sons and | | a daughter, Jocosa or Joyce, who married Lyster, second son of |
