was baptized in 1620


 

Judi Laura, Jim and Tom
We ate lunch at this pub that has been in continuous
operation since 1642. It's near the above Church, so surely
the relatives ate here as well. I even suspect that they
may have spent more time here than at the Church :-)

Crossing the Thames on Blackfriar's Bridge.
We stopped to talk to the soldier in red. He had 
a chest full of medals awarded for his service 
around the world. Blackfriars is historically where many
convicts were transported from Newgate Prison to the
colony of Virginia including Edward Busby in 1620.
