Saviour, at Bermondsey, in Southwark; for this is supposed to be the most ancient and most considerable monastery about the city at that time, next to that of St. Peter at Westminster, though there is no doubt but the convents of St. John by Clerkenwell, St. Bartholomew in Smithfield, St.
I therefore set to work to do what I ought to have done at starting I hunted in all the parish registers to be found within a certain radius of such and such localities.
