converted toa private houfe, wherein f{e- 
veral Mayors had refided, and kept their 
mayoralty. In the days of,Stow, from 
whom this account is taken, it was a wine- 
tavern, and had for the fign the Wind-

DEANERY OF ST. PAUL'S. 
Among the manufcripts bequeathed by 
the late Dr. Rawlinfon to the Univerfiry 
of Oxford, are two ancient leaves on vel- 
lum, a fragment of great curiofity, con- 
taining a part of the furvey of the Dean- 
ery of St. Paul’s in the year 1181, called 
the Domefday ot Ralph de Diceto. But 
the manors and churches to. which it re- 
lates are chiefly thofe away from London. 
FINCH-LANE. 
An ancient Romano urn, of the fmaller 
fize, found here in 1792, at the depth of 
eleven feet, was exhibi:ed at the Anti- 
quary Society December 10, 1795. 
CROOKED-LANE. 
Trivial as the intelligence may feem, it 
may be worth recording, that fo long ago 
as 1589, Crooked-lane was equally ta- 
mous for bird-cages as at prefent. Tho- 
mas Markham, in an original letter te the 
Earl of Shrewfbury (Lodge’s Illuflr. of 
Br. Hiffory, I. 417.), tells him he has 
procured a convenient houfe for his lord- 
fhip’s “* fyne byrd, of the beft fort of 
buylding in Crooked-lane.”
