_St. Giles's Hospital_.--The celebrated Dr. Andrew Boorde rented for
many years the Master's house. He is mentioned as its occupant in the
deed of transfer between Lord Lisle to Sir Wymonde Carewe, dated in the
last year of Henry the Eighth's reign.

_Gray's Inn Lane_.--Anciently called _Portpoole_. See the commission
granted to the Master of the Hospital of St. Giles's, &c. to levy tolls
upon all cattle, merchandize, &c., dated 1346, in Rymer's _Foedera_.

_Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn_.--Lord Herbert of Cherbury was one
of the first inhabitants of this street, residing at the south side,
near the east corner of Wild (or more properly _Weld_) Street, where he
died in 1648. The house is still standing, and is one of fifteen built
in the third year of James the First. _Powlet_ and _Conway_ houses, also
still standing, are among the said number. The celebrated Dr. Mead (D.
1754) resided in this street.

_Turnstile Lane, Holborn_.--Richard Pendrell, the preserver of Charles
the Second, resided here in 1668. It is supposed that Pendrell, after
the Restoration, followed the king to town, and settled in the parish of
St. Giles, as being near the court. Certain it is that one of Pendrell's
name occurs in 1702 as overseer, which leads to the conclusion that
Richard's descendants continued in the same locality for many years. A
great-granddaughter of this Richard was living in 1818 in the
neighbourhood of Covent Garden. Richard Pendrell died in 1674, and had a
monument erected to his memory on the south-east side of the old church
of St. Giles. The raising of the churchyard, subsequently, had so far
buried the monument as to render it necessary to form a new one to
preserve the memory of this celebrated man. The black marble slab of the
old tomb at present forms the base of the new one.
