Note 8 — I ELIZABETH AND JAMES
Reading edition
Cheyney, i. 143, says that the Exchequer court near Westminster Hall, the gallery of which was built or repaired in 1570, 'served the queen and court not infrequently as a ball-room'; but this is only an old tradition, for which Smith, Westminster, 54, could find no confirmation in 1807, and for which the records of Court entertainments certainly furnish none.
