Note 54 — Chapter VI

Sir William Dugdale, in his ‘Origines Juridiciales,’ records that the whole cost of this gatehouse was £153 10s. 8d., ‘the brick and tile used for the same being digged out of that piece of ground then called the Coneygarth, lying on the west side of the house, adjoyning to Lincoln’s Inn Fields.’ This valuable relic is now, I fear, in a somewhat neglected condition.
