  31. Canonbury Tower was rebuilt by Spencer in the 1580s and ’90s. Sir Francis Bacon, Oliver Goldsmith and Washington Irving were among the famous persons who later lived there. In 1795 the house was again largely rebuilt and the south range of Prior Bolton’s building was demolished. It served as the Tower Theatre from 1953 to 2003, and is now a Masonic research center. Only parts of the walls survive from the house Margaret knew. The tower and three-story wing to the south date from ca.1580.

  46. By 1758 the east side of the southern courtyard of Brooke House was derelict; it was rebuilt and became a mental asylum. The house was bombed in the Blitz of 1940, and the east range of the northern courtyard, comprising a range of what were probably Tudor offices, was destroyed. The remains of Brooke House were acquired by the London County Council in 1944, but deemed too damaged to be restored. After a careful record was made of what survived, the house was demolished in 1954–55. Hackney Community College now stands on the site (Brooke House; Tudor Hackney; Eden et al.).

It has been suggested that the tablet given to Leicester is perhaps to be identified with a girdle book containing a portrait of the King now in the British Library (Stowe MS. 956) and once in the possession of the descendants of William Seymour, Duke of Somerset, the man Arbella married; and that Arbella was briefly betrothed to Leicester’s heir, the “noble imp,” Robert Dudley, Lord Denbigh, in childhood; and that the tablet came to her at this time (Lisle TFS, 414), but there is no proof of the betrothal.
