Note 63a — Chapter III · MODERN PAROCHIAL DIVISIONS: THE STREETS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, ETC. THEIR ASSOCIATIONS, EMINENT INHABITANTS, ETC.

There having been but two Bishops of London with the Christian name of William, about the time of any eminence that the Chapel enjoyed, this must have been one of those two, William Laud or William Juxon; seeing that Laud licensed its rebuilding, and that his chancellor was so far interested in it as to give the Paten, I think it may be safely assumed that the small chalice was presented by the former. Laud was bishop from 1628 to 1633, when he was translated to Canterbury, and afterwards beheaded. Juxon succeeded him in the See of London, 1633 until 1660; he was the prelate present with Charles I. in his last moments.
