Aldermen whose Burials are Recorded in
Machyn's Diary.
[The worthy diarist, who appears to have been an undertaker by profession, records the
funeral arrangements in elaborate detail, not forgetting the 'grett dener' which
usually followed the 'berehyng.' The diary deserves notice if only for the
grotesque orthography, which throws into the shade the most inspired efforts of
the modern 'Simplified Speling Sosieti.']

Footnotes
| 1 |
The names of those Aldermen are lost in the MS. which is defective, but that of T. Lewen is supplied
by the Editor [J. Gough Nichols] in the notes (p. 334) and that of J. Lowen may be safely inferred
from the date, combined with the fact which is shown in the text that the person whose funeral is
here described was a leading member of the Drapers' Company. |
