Note 325 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
It is hard to believe Mr. Wallace's novel theory that the Children of the Chapel were subsidized by Elizabeth, as presented in his otherwise valuable The Children of the Chapel at Blackfriars. Burbage and Heminges knew nothing of such a royal patronage at Blackfriars (see Fleay, op. cit., p. 236), nor did Kirkham, the Yeoman of the Revels (ibid., p. 248). Kirkham and his partners spent £600 on apparel, etc., according to Kirkham's statement.
