NOTES:-Lollards' Tower, St. Paul's Cathedral: Richard Counts of Flanders, 250-Coillte: Con, 251-Indian Dinner "Honesty is the best policy," 254-Flodden Field-Vortiger existence to the fertile imagination of the artist who illustrated the Acts and Monuments; but should the woodcut be based on any better authority than the mere fancy of the draughtsman, it would have considerable interest for the antiquary, as being one of the very few views that are extant of the interior of the once famous prison in the Cathedral of St. Paul. In the third volume of Fox (edit. 1641, p. 413) is another woodcut, entitled "A Picture describing the strait handling of the close prisoners in Lollards Tower"; the prisoners being George King, John Wade, Thomas Leyes, and William Andrew. But I fear that the apartment represented is not the same as that described above. The stocks in this case would hold six persons. If the prison be the same as that previously depicted-and this is not absolutely impossible, though I scarcely think cell exactly opposite to that which faces the reader it probable-then the view exhibits the side of the in the former case. The Probably both views are works of the imagination; for I am quite aware that Fox, dealing with a not very critical or imaginative age, repeats the same woodcut over and over again. illustration of "The martyrdome of Richard Bayfield," at vol. ii. 293, serves also for "The burning of one Peke at Ipswich" in the same volume at p. 437. And with a still more audacious trust in the want of observation of his readers, another woodcut is repeated in the first volume, in the closest proximity, at pp. 865, 869, 873, and 939, where William Taylor, priest, William White, Richard Hoveden, and John Goose are supposed to be depicted by the same illustration, which also reappears in vol. iii. pp. 190, 216, 270, 386, 412, 868, 883, 892, and possibly at other places. One is reminded of the pages of the Nuremberg Chronicle, where a view does duty for several cities, and a portrait" for several individuals. But although have caused a careful search to be made through the three volumes of Fox, I do not find that these particular cuts of the apartment in the Lollards' Tower occur again. Stow determines with sufficient accuracy the exact position of the Lollards' Tower. In his account of Castle Baynard Ward, speaking of St. Paul's Cathedral, he says:— In an interesting note contributed lately to "N. & Q." by MR. EDWARD SOLLY (ante, p. 152) mention is made of the death of Richard Hun, which occurred in the Lollards' Tower, St. Paul's Cathedral, and a reference is given to the woodcut in Fox's Acts and Monuments (edit. 1641, ii. 15), which represents Hun as hanging from a beam in his prison house. Above the woodcut the follow-I ing words are to be read: "A description of the Lollards Tower, where M. RICHARD HVNNE was first murthered, then by the said parties hanged, after condemned of heresie, and at last burned in Smithfield"; and hence, I suppose, we may conclude that the woodcut is intended to represent the interior of the Lollards' Tower. A small apartment is depicted, whose width (if we may estimate the gaoler's height at six feet) would be about nine feet, and its height about eight feet; on the side opposite to the spectator are an arched door and a large arched recess; on the dexter side is an arched window, strongly barred, and on the sinister side is a corresponding window quadran-708, col. 1. gular in elevation. In the midst of the apartment is a massive set of stocks, sufficiently large to accommodate (?) four persons. A wooden stool and an earthen pot complete the furniture of the cell. Probably the whole scene, room and all, owes its "At either Corner of this west End, was, also, of ancient Building, a strong Tower of Stone, made for Bell-Towers: The one of them, to wit, next to the Palace, was to the Use of the same Palace. The other, towards the South, was called the Lowlards Tower, and hath been used as the Bishop's Prison, for such as were detected for Opinions in Religion, contrary to the Faith of the Church."-Survey, sixth edition, 1754, i. In the margin Stow adds these words, "For Lowlards Tower read Mr. Fox," and he goes on to relate that the last prisoner committed thereto was "One Peter Burchet, Gent., of the Middle Temple, for having desperately wounded, and minding to have mur |
