64 JOHN GOODYER 



The note which follows may or may not refer to Tewe's 

 expenses. 



' 150^ p. ann. 12'' lo** a moneth.' 



It is clear that Tewe must have been a member of, or have 

 been helped by, the Muscovia Company, then engaged in 

 active trade with Russia. 



The important domestic event of his marriage occurred 

 in this year. The Licence issued by the Faculty Office of 

 the Archbishop of Canterbury bears date 15 November 

 1632. 



' John Goodyer of Beryton co. Southampton, gentleman, 

 bachelor, 40, and Patience Crumpe, spinster, about 30, daughter 

 of Walter Crumpe, late of St. Giles in the Fields, Middlesex, tailor 

 at St. Giles in the Fields or St. Gregory's London.' 



There is evidence that John and Miss Crump were 

 friends of long standing. In a letter dated 9 November 

 1 62 1 Laurence Davis ends with a postcript : 'I praye 

 remind me kindly to yo^' fellows Patience, Mr. Parker, and 

 Henry Henly '. At that time Goodyer and presumably 



Patience also, were living at or 

 near Droxford. Soon after the 

 wedding he moved from Maple- 

 durham to a house in the Spain 

 in Petersfield. The Spain is a 

 picturesque open place or square 

 which is said to have received 

 Petersfield. ^^^ name from the Spanish mer- 



chants who resorted there for 

 wool-dealing.i The street of approach from the market- 

 place is still named Sheep Street. In the eighteenth 

 century a horse-market was held there. 



John Goodyer's house 'is still standing to-day, and is 

 one of the most interesting in the whole of Hampshire. 

 The half of it which I had the privilege of inspecting has 

 been burdened with the ridiculous name of St. Aubyns, 

 but until 1907 it bore legally the title which it bore in
