In a Vault near this Place, is deposited the Body of Sir JOHN MOORE Kt.sometime Lord Maior of London, one of the Representatives of this City in Parliament, and President of Christs Hospital.

Who, out of a Christian Zeal for good Works, founded and endowed a Free School at Appleby in Leicestershire, his native Country, and was a good Benefactor to the worshipful Company of Grocers, to the several Hospitals of this City, to his own Relations in general, and to this Parish. He departed this Life the 2. of June, 1702. Aged 82.

In this Church of St. Dunstan's in the East, in the Reign of Edward IV. were certain Holidays more solemnly kept, viz.

The Dedication of the Church, which was on the Day of the 11000 Virgins, when the Church Wardens laid out for Bread, Wine, and Ale in the Church, 15d.

St. Fabians and St. Bastians Day. The Charge that Day for Bread, Wine, and Ale, was 13d. ob.

Ascension Day; for Bread and Ale in the Church, 2d.

Whit Sunday and Trinity Sunday; on the same Account, 2d.

And these Obits and Memories of the Dead were in this Church observed, by the Care of the Church Wardens in the same King Edward IVths time.

John Maykin and William Lyn; for rehearsing their Names in the Pulpit every Sunday by the Priest, was paid to him for one Year, 8s. 4d.

Other Charges belonging to this Parish in these Times, and paid by the Church Warden, were as follows:

Now, in regard that this Parish of St. Dunstane is the last (in our Account) of Tower Street Ward, we are to speak of Gods Blessings there to the Poor. Which I find to be seven Shillings three pence every Sunday through the Year, given in ready Money, beside Bread and other Gifts, according to the Wills and Dispositions of Sir Richard Champion, and Master Alderman Heardson, with Coals given beside at certain Times. More, I find, that one Man hath given yearly, for ever, an whole Ox to be distributed by a Quarter thereof Quarterly, and a Peck of Oat Meal therewithal, to the Poor: But yet so discreetly ordered, that they that have the Quarter of Beef and Peck of Oat Meal at one Quarter, must stay till other Poor be so served, and that it comes to their turn again. Other Charities there are which came in Gifts of ready Money, and are accordingly truly distributed.

This is but a very imperfect Account of the Charitable Donations to this Parish, which have been very many and large. But the Parish suffered very much in those given in the Popish Times, which, having some Mixtures of Superstition, were all lost and forfeited to the Crown by the Statute of King Edward VIth his Reign. But those that are still enjoyed by the Parish, according as I have received Information by the Reverend Mr. Stringfellow Rector, are these:

William Sevenoke gave 13 Houses in Mincing Lane and Tower Street; out of which a Beam Light (as it is in the Will) of 13s. 4d. is issuing: Which with the Almes Houses in the two Alleys in Mincing Lane, and two poor Widows Houses there; (for which two Widows Houses Mrs. Russel gave 10l. to free them from the Rent,) amount to the yearly Rent of 29-13-4.

Matthew Earnest gave all that capital Messuage or Tenement, called The Horse Head, with four Shops on either side of the same, situate in Thames Street; out of which an Obit of 1l. 13s. 4s. is issuing; and also 5d. every Sunday
