Extract

It is remarkable that Stowe makes no mention of the Abbot of Waltham's House at St. Mary-at-Hill, although the industrious London historian lived hard by, in the parish of St. Andrew Undershaft; and the only printed notice of it that I am aware of is in Malcolm's Londinium Redivivum, vol. iv. pp. 417, 420, where it is stated that the parish purchased the abbot of Waltham's kitchen, and erected the south aisle of the parish church on the site thereof in the year 1501.

This illegal execution was charged against Hubert de Burgh by the citizens when he fell into disgrace ten years afterwards. (Liber de Antiq. Legib. 2, 5.—Maitland's London.)
