Talk:Crosby Hall, London

More references
There are quite a few references already but here are a few more detailed ones about the demolition, rebuilding and present situation which I haven't the skill to add to the article itself, but they are probably as useful here.

http://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/bk9 (detailed study of the Hall, with pictures, in its original location before being dismantled/demolished, 1908)

"Ashbee, Geddes, Lethaby and the Rebuilding of Crosby Hall" Andrew Saint, Architectural History Vol. 34 (1991), pp. 206-223. This is available online if you have JSTOR access at http://www.jstor.org/stable/1568600 (Detailed account of the rebuilding and the politics and personalities involved, with some pictures).

http://www.christophermoran.org/news/crosby-hall-%E2%80%98the-most-important-surviving-domestic-medieval-building-in-london%E2%80%99/ (This article was written by Simon Thurley – Director of English Heritage and originally published in Country Life Magazine 2003, available online on the web site of the current owner of Crosby Hall)

As far as I know the rebuilt Hall stood alone until the first additions in 1925/26, the article as written gives the impression that additions were made before this. Davidnugget (talk) 21:30, 8 January 2017 (UTC)


 * I have templated those references, and added them to the bibliography (plus another two articles from the London Topographical Record). I'm not familiar with the building in detail, but the 1910 "re-erection" does seem to have involved quite a lot of new work (discussed in Godfrey 1913). I have changed "buildings" to "work" in the lede, but have not gone further than that. Like everything else on Wikipedia, of course, there is plenty of room for improvement.

Mary Sidney in ODNB
Mary Sidney, "one of the most notable writers of her time" is shown as living at Crosby Hall after leaving Queen Elizabeth's service. This cited to the ODNB here. I think that's the wrong Lady Sidney, with the right one being here. Unfortunately, if I've got it right, this ONDB entry doesn't contain the material quoted either—it notes instead that she may have been living around the corner at Baynard's Castle. Tagged. I'll try to find an better ref in due course.--217.155.32.221 (talk) 23:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Now fixed.--217.155.32.221 (talk) 09:17, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Lock-up after the Lombard Street riots
Thomas More was indeed involved in the dispersal of the Lombard Street riots (as Shakespeare points out) and the people rounded up were too many for the local compters to accommodate. The reference that they were kept at Crosby Hall is (at the time of posting) to a short biography of a twentieth-century archbishop of Canterbury. Tagged I couldn't find it anywhere else, either. Anybody help? --217.155.32.221 (talk) 22:31, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Found it. Sorry, should have looked harder.--217.155.32.221 (talk) 08:44, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
