Note 298 — XXXVIII.—FREEMASONS’ HALL.

The house is referred to later on as “all that messuage, etc., formerly called by the name of the Great Wardrobe” (Middlesex Registry Memorials, 1811, VI., 104). It will be noticed that the title “Queen Anne’s Wardrobe” given to the western half of Bristol House in 1846 (Plate 16) is doubly incorrect. In the first place it is assigned to the wrong half of Bristol House, and secondly the dates show that it could not possibly have had any connection with Queen Anne.
