Note 257 — XXXVII.—Nos. 55 and 56, GREAT QUEEN STREET.
Reading edition
The sewer ratebook for 1703 (representing probably the state of things in the previous year) shows “Thomas Stonor, Esq.” still in occupation; that for 1709 (the next issue) gives “Sir Godfrey Kneller.” The Dictionary of National Biography says he purchased the house in 1703, but this is obviously an error. (See above).
