page 111 note a The portions in brackets are additions in later handwritings of various dates, as may generally be gathered from the context

page 112 note a Probably the gift of Thomas Legge, who, by his will dated 31 Edward the Third, gave various bequests t o the Parish of St. Christopher. A copy of the will is in the Book of Becords. He apparently increased the churchyard.

page 113 note a This was written in 1518. Sir Eoger Achely (Draper) was Mayor of London 1511. Stowe says he was a careful Magistrate for corn, which he caused to be stowed up in Leaden Hall. He lived in Cornhill, and was buried in St. Christopher's church.

page 113 note b This memorandum was written by the Bishop of Gallipoli at the top of the entry, in the margin, and therefore refers to the cross inserted after “suyte,” which would thus be beneath.

page 119 note a Perhaps the gift of John Peche, Lord Mayor of London, 1361, or his predecessor Henry Pycard, 1356.

page 120 note a This is a later addition to the older list, and was probably made on the occasion of an Archidiaconal visitation, at the time when the addition of the things given by Sir Roger Acheley was made.

page 121 note a Lady Margaret Nerford was a cousin of the rector of St. Christopher's in the year 1417, in the reign of King Henry V.; she lived in the Parish and gave bequests to it and to other Parishes in the city. She was buried in St. Christopher's, and a copy of her will, which is very curious, is among the Records. She was a friend of Sir John Oldcastle, Lord Cobham.
