Notes

See Letter from Tobell Aylmer to Sir George Oxenden, 20th March 1662/63, which in which Tobell Aylmer mentions that he intends to drink the health of Sir George Oxenden with Richard Masters and Richard Oxinden at the Ship. This tavern was most probably the Ship tavern on the west side of Old Bailey, just to the north of Ludgate Hill. Aylmer at that time was living on Ludgate Hill either at or near the "Old Corner."
