Note 120 — XXX.—SITE OF ROSE FIELD (MACKLIN STREET, SHELTON STREET, NEWTON STREET (PART), AND PARKER STREET (PART)).

Thomas Burton’s land, which included the site of all the houses in Drury Lane mentioned in the above deed, had a width along that street of 233 feet. These houses reached as far south as the house belonging to Mr. Fotherley, on whose garden St. Thomas’s Street was subsequently formed. (Parton, Hospital and Parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, p. 275.) The distance between the boundary line and the northern side of Shelton Street, the modern representative of St. Thomas’s Street, is 243 feet, thus allowing a 10 feet extension of the garden northwards beyond the street.
