		+	"There is a print of the Royal
		+	Exchange in Campbell's second volume (" Vitruvius Britannicus").
		+	Jerman followed the old courtyard plan of Gresham's building, with a
		+	covered walk, and arcades on the sides to the court. The court was
		+	entered by a lofty arch, flanked by engaged Corinthian columns with
		+	segmental pediments. Above the arch was a tower in three storeys with
		+	a kind of Gothic tracery to the windows, surmounted by Gresham's
		+	grasshopper. The arcade was rusticated and, instead of an entablature,
		+	had a moulded string course with foliage. The details throughout were
		+	crude, and show but a faint acquaintance with the methods of classical
		+	architecture, but the building as a whole appears to have been a good deal
		+	more interesting than the present Stock Exchange. Campbell mentions
		+	that " the rustic arcade is generally condemned by the critics for having
		+	piers but one-fourth of the arch, which renders it weak," and this
		+	criticism is certainly borne out by the engraving. As laid down by
		+	Palladio, intercolumniations were never to be more than three diameters
		+	of the columns (except in the Tuscan qrder) and never less than one
		+	and a half, and he recommends two and a quarter diameters as a good
		+	proportion. No other work of Jerman's is known." (p. 188)

 ''Upon the Thames, adjoining to Hammersmith, though within the limits of the Fulham division, is a noble seat, built by Sir Nicholas Crispe, Bart. a gentleman of unshaken loyalty to King Charles I.  It stands at a very convenient distance from the Thames, in a sweet and wholesome air, and has a large spot of ground of several acres inclosed, adjoining to it.  The building is very lofty, regular, and magnificent, after the modern manner, built with brick, cornered with stone, and has a handsome cuppola at the top.  It contains several large handsome rooms, very spacious, and finely finished.  The foundations and walls are very substantial, and the vaults underneath arched in an extraordinary manner.  The whole house in building, and the gardens, canals, &c. in making, is said to cost near £25,000.
-Some time after the death of the said Sir Nicholas Crispe, this house was sold to Mrs. Margaret Hughes,a lady much esteemed at Court about that time, for her air and beauty, in whose possession it had not remained many years, before she disposed of it again, to Timothy Lannoy, Esq. one of her Majesty's Justices of the Peace for this county, and Mr. Treadway, his brother, both Turkey merchants, and gentlemen of known worth, as well abroad as at home.  These gentlemen have for many years past lived in this noble seat, and made several other buildings, as dye-houses, &c. for carrying on their business.''<ref>Bowack's Middx., p. 35 (London, 1705), cited in [http://www.archive.org/stream/historyandantiq02faulgoog#page/n303/mode/2up Thomas Faulkner, Thomas, The history and antiquities of the parish of Hammersmith (London, 1839), fn. a, p. 279]</ref>

 Interestingly, Faulkner describes Timothy Lannoy, one of the house's joint occupants from the mid-1690s till 1718, as a "scarlet dyer".  Recent archaeological work by the Museum of London (2001-XXXX) discovered probably brick lined dye vats, but the write up of this work dates them to occupation by Sir Nicholas Crispe.  It has been suggested that Crispe used the vats to dye cloth, employing dye wood imported by him from West Africa.<ref>This is the footnote text</ref>

 During Cromwell's usurpation a project was set on foot by Sir Nicholas Crispe, of making a mole at Deptford, for the harbour of 200 sail or more to ride in 17 or 18 feet of water, without cable or anchor. The demesne lands of the manor (being about 200 acres, lying now within the parish of St. Paul) were purchased for that purpose at the price of 6000l. and a considerable sum of money was expended in erecting storehouses, and setting up a sluice. After the Restoration Sir Nicholas Crispe, joining with the Duke of Ormond, the Earl of Bath, and others, who were embarked with him in this undertaking, petitioned King Charles II. to grant them the land so purchased in fee-farm; it was stated in the petition that Sir Nicholas Crispe had formed this project principally with a view of ingratiating himself with the then ruling powers, that he might the better watch a favourable opportunity of bringing about his Majesty's restoration. Sir Charles Harbord, the King's surveyor, to whom the petition was referred, advised his Majesty by no means to grant the land in feefarm, but to offer a lease of 31 years, at a rent of 160l. per annum, with a fine of 2000l. (fn. 20) These terms, it is probable, were not accepted, for it does not appear that the projectors proceeded any farther with their design."<ref>Daniel Lysons, fn. 20 reads: "The circumstances above stated are taken from documents in the Land-Revenue office, obligingly communicated by William Harrison, Esq."[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45483#s1 Daniel Lysons, 'Deptford, St Paul', The Environs of London: volume 4: Counties of Herts, Essex & Kent (1796), pp. 386-393], viewed 27/02/12</ref>
