Note 644 — LIII.—SITE OF THE HOSPITAL OF ST. GILES.
Reading edition
Close Roll, 21 Eliz. (1059); Common Plea Roll, 25 Eliz., Hilary, 4010; Close Roll, 34 Eliz. (1425). Parton (Hospital and Parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, p. 331) bridges over the gap between Blount and Cope by the supposition that the manor came into the hands of the last-named in consequence of a mortgage to one “Master Cope, citizen of London.” But (1) the mortgage is not of the manor of St. Giles, and (2) the proper reading is not “Cope” but “Rope.”
