She was buried,
as all the world knows, in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey,
where a huge stone is still pointed out to the Whitsuntide
visitors as her gravestone."
--Gifford's _Ben Jonson_, viii. 78.
Let me add, that I am much obliged to DR. RIMBAULT, as well as to other
correspondents, for corrections and still more valuable additions to my
book, printed in "NOTES AND QUERIES."
PETER CUNNINGHAM
_The Churchwardens' Accounts of St. Antholin's_ (Vol. i., pp. 180,
260.).--In my additions to Mr. Cunningham's _Handbook for London_, I
noticed two folio volumes of churchwardens' accounts, belonging to the
parish of St. Antholin's, that had _accidentally_ got away from the
custody of their proper guardians. This notice roused from his slunbers
one of the said guardians, the present overseer of the parish, W.C.,
Junior, who stated in your journal of February 23. that
"The churchwardens' accounts are in good preservation, and
present (in an unbroken series) the parish expenditure for
nearly three centuries."
The worthy overseer also wishes to impress your readers with a belief
that I had been misled by Thorpe's _Catalogue_, and that the books to
which I referred were merely _extracts_. In justice to myself, I
therefore give the entries in Thorpe's _Catalogue verbatim as they
occur_.
