Oatlands, adjoining to Weybridge in Surry, is the seat of the Earl of Lincoln. The park is about four miles round. The house is situated about the middle of the terrace, whose majestic grandeur, and the beautiful landscape which it commands, words cannot describe, nor the pencil delineate so as to give an adequate idea of this fine scene.

The serpentine river which you look down upon from the terrace, though artificial, appears as beautiful as it could do were it natural; and a stranger who did not know the place would conclude it to be the Thames, in which opinion he would be confirmed by the view of Walton bridge over that river, which by a happy contrivance is made to look like a bridge over it, and closes the prospect that way finely.

St. Olave’s Hart street, situated at the south side of Hart street in Tower street ward, is thus denominated from its dedication to St. Olave, or Olaus, King of Norway, who from his strong attachment to the Christian religion, took part in the disputes with the English and Danes; for this, together with his supporting Christianity in his own dominions, and his sufferings on that account, he stands sainted in the Roman calendar.

A church stood in the same place, dedicated to the same royal patron, before the year 1319. The present structure is of considerable antiquity, for it escaped the flames in 1666, and since that time has had several repairs and additions, among which last is the portico; this is no small ornament, though it is not well adapted to the edifice. This portico was added in the year 1674.

This is a mixed building, with respect to its materials, as well as its form, part being of square stone, part of irregular stone, and part of brick. The body, which is square, is fifty-four feet in length, and the same in breadth; the height of the roof is thirty feet, and that of the steeple sixty. The windows are large and gothic, and every thing plain except the portico, which is formed of Corinthian pilasters, with an arched pediment. The tower, which consists of a single stage above the roof, is also extremely plain, and the turret wherewith it is crowned is well proportioned.

The patronage of this rectory has all along been in private hands. The Incumbent, besides several annual donations, and other profits, receives 120l. a year in tithes.

Mr. Weaver in his funeral monuments, mentions the following very whimsical one in this church, for Dame Anne, the wife of Sir John Ratcliff, Knt. which is to be read both downwards and upwards,

Mr. Munday, in his edition of Stow’s survey, mentions another here, which though of a different kind, appears equally extraordinary.

St. Olave’s Jewry, situated on the west side of the Old Jewry, in Coleman street ward, was anciently denominated St. Olave’s Upwell, from its dedication to the saint of that name, and probably from a well under the east end, wherein a pump is now placed; but that gave way to the name of Jewry, owing to this neighbourhood’s becoming the principal residence of the Jews in this city.

Here was a parish church so early as the year 1181; the last sacred edifice was destroyed by the fire of London, and the present finished in 1673. It consists of a well enlightened body, seventy-eight feet in length, and twenty-four in breadth; the height to the roof is thirty-six feet, and that of the tower and pinacles eighty-eight. The door is well proportioned, and of the Doric order, covered with an arched pediment. On the upper part of the tower, which is very plain, rises a cornice supported by scrolls; and upon this plain attic course, on the pillars at the corners, are placed the pinacles, standing on balls, and each terminated on the top by a ball.

This church, tho’ anciently a rectory, is now a vicarage in the gift of the Crown; and the parish of St. Martin, Ironmonger lane, is now united to it, by which the Incumbent’s profits are considerably increased; he receives besides other profits, 120l. a year in lieu of tithes.

St. Olave’s Silver street, stood at the south west corner of Silver street, in Aldersgate ward; but being consumed by the fire of London, and not rebuilt, the parish is annexed to the neighbouring church of St. Alban’s Wood street.

St. Olave’s Southwark, is situated in Tooley street, near the south end of London bridge. Tho’ the time when a church was first erected in this place cannot be discovered, yet it appears to be of considerable antiquity, since it is mentioned so early as the year 1281. However, part of the old church falling down in 1736, and the rest being in a ruinous condition, the parishioners applied to parliament for a power to rebuild it, which being granted, they were thereby enabled to raise the sum of 5000l. by a rate of 6d. in the pound, to be levied out of the rents of all lands and tenements within the parish; accordingly the church was taken down in the summer of the year 1737, and the present structure finished in 1739.

It consists of a plain body strengthened with rustic quoins at the corners; the door is well proportioned without ornament, and the windows are placed in three series; the lowest is upright, but considerably broad; those above them circular, and others on the roof are large and semicircular. The tower consists of three stages; the uppermost of which is considerably diminished; in this is the clock, and in the stages below are large windows. The top of the tower is surrounded by a plain substantial balustrade, and the whole has an air of plainness and simplicity.

It is a rectory in the gift of the Crown, and the Incumbent’s profits are said to amount to about 400l. per annum.

Old Bailey, a street which extends from Ludgate hill to the top of Snow hill, by Newgate. On the upper part near Fleet lane, the street is divided into two by a middle row of buildings, whence that towards the west is called Little Old Bailey, and the other to the eastward, is called Great Old Bailey. This street from Ludgate hill to Fleet lane, is in the liberties of the Fleet. In the upper part is Justice Hall commonly called the Sessions house, and in the lower part Surgeons Hall. Maitland observes, that the Old Bailey took its name from the Bale or Bailiff’s house, formerly standing there.

Office of Ordnance, in the Tower. This office is a modern building, a little to the north east of the white tower; and to the officers belonging to it, all other offices for supplying artillery, arms, ammunition, or other warlike stores to any part of the British dominions, are accountable; and from this office all orders for the disposition of warlike materials are issued. It is therefore of very great importance, as it has under its care the ammunition necessary for the defence of the kingdom, and the protection of our allies.

In ancient times before the invention of guns, this office was supplied by officers under the following names; the Bowyer, the Cross Bowyer, the Galeator, or Purveyor of helmets, the Armourer, and the Keeper of the tents; and in this state it continued till King Henry VIII. placed it under the management of a Master, a Lieutenant, a Surveyor, &c. as it still continues with some improvements.

The office of ordnance is now divided into two branches, the civil and the military; the latter being subordinate and under the authority of the former.

The principal officer in the civil branch of the office of ordnance is the Master General, who has a salary of 1500l. per annum, and is invested with a peculiar jurisdiction over all his Majesty’s engineers employed in the several fortifications of this kingdom, to whom they are all accountable, and from whom they receive their particular orders and instructions, according to the directions and commands given by his Majesty and council.

The Lieutenant General, who receives all orders and warrants signed by the Master General, and from the other principal officers, and sees them duly executed; issues orders, as the occasions of the state may require; and gives directions for discharging the great guns, when required at coronations, on birth days, festivals, signal victories, and other solemn occasions. It is also his peculiar office to see the train of artillery, and all its equipage fitted for motion, when ordered to be drawn into the field. He has a salary of 1100l. per annum; and under him is a clerk in ordinary, who has 150l. a year; an inferior clerk, and a clerk extraordinary, who have each 40l. a year.

The Surveyor inspects the stores and provisions of war in the custody of the Storekeeper, and sees that they are ranged and placed in such order as is most proper for their preservation. He allows all bills of debt, and keeps a check upon all artificers and labourers work; sees that the stores received be good and serviceable, duly proved, and marked, if they ought to be so, with the King’s mark, taking to his assistance the rest of the officers and Proof Masters. His salary is 700l. per annum.

As his post necessarily makes some assistance necessary, he has under him the Proof Master of England, who has 150l. a year. Two clerks of the fortifications, who have 60l. a year each, and another of 40l. Besides, in this time of war he has under him six extra clerks, who have each 40l. a year; and another who has 4s. 6d. a day.

The Clerk of the ordnance records all orders and instructions given for the government of the office; all patents and grants; the names of all officers, clerks, artificers, attendants, gunners, labourers, &c. who enjoy those grants, or any other fee for the same; draws all estimates for provisions and supplies to be made, and all letters, instructions, commissions, deputations, and contracts for his Majesty’s service; makes all bills of imprest, and debentures, for the payment and satisfaction for work done, and provisions received in the said office; all quarter books for the salaries and allowances of all officers, clerks, &c. belonging to the office; and keeps journals and ledgers of the receipts and returns of his Majesty’s stores, to serve as a check between the two accomptants of the office, the one for money, and the other for stores. His salary is 500l. per annum, and 100l. a year for being a check on the Storekeeper.

The great business of this officer is managed, under him, by six clerks in ordinary, one of whom has 180l. a year, another 150l. two 60l. a year, one 50l. and one 4s. a day: and he has at present thirteen clerks extraordinary, who have 40l. a year each. There are besides under him a ledger keeper to the out ports, and a home ledger keeper, who have 60l. a year.

The Storekeeper takes into his custody all his Majesty’s ordnance, munitions and stores belonging thereto, and indents and puts them in legal security, after they have been surveyed of by the Surveyor: any part of which he must not deliver, without a warrant signed by the proper officers; nor must he receive back any stores formerly issued, till they have been reviewed by the Surveyor, and registered by the Clerk of the ordnance in the book of remains: and he must take care that whatever is under his custody be kept safe, and in such readiness as to be fit for service upon the most peremptory command. His salary is 400l. per annum.

The Storekeeper has under his command three clerks in ordinary, one of whom has 150l. and another 60l. per annum, and also three extra clerks, each at 40l. a year.

The Clerk of the deliveries draws all orders for delivery of any stores, and sees them duly executed: he also charges by indenture the particular receiver of the stores delivered; and, in order to discharge the Storekeeper, he registers the copies of all warrants for the deliveries, as well as the proportions delivered. His salary is 400l. a year.

The above officer has under him two clerks in ordinary, one who has 150l. and another who has 70l. per annum, and also four clerks extraordinary who have each 40l. a year.

The Treasurer and Paymaster receives and pays all monies, both salaries and debentures in and belonging to this office. His salary is 500l. a year.

The above officer is assisted in his double employment of receiving and paying by three clerks in ordinary, one of whom has 150l. another 60l. and another 50l. per annum, and by three clerks extraordinary, each of whom has 40l. a year.

In this office there are likewise two Proof Masters, who have 20l. a year each; a Clerk of the works, who has 120l. a year; a Purveyor for the land, who has 100l. a year; a Purveyor for the sea, who has 40l. a year; an Architect, who has 120l. a year; an Astronomical Observator, who has 100l. a year, and some other officers.

In the other part of this office termed the Military Branch of the Ordnance, is a Chief Engineer, who has 501l. 17s. 4d. a year; a Director, who has 365l. per annum; eight engineers in ordinary, who have 10s. a day; eight engineers extraordinary at 6s. a day; eleven sub-engineers, at 73l. a year each; and sixteen pract. engineers, at 3s. a day.——See an account of the arms belonging to this office under the article Tower.

Court of Orphans. This court is occasionally held at Guildhall, by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, who are guardians to the children of freemen under the age of twenty-one years at the decease of their fathers, and take upon them not only the management of their goods and chattels, but likewise that of their persons, by placing them under the care of tutors, to prevent disposing of themselves during their minority, without their approbation.

By this court the common serjeant is authorised to take exact accounts and inventories of all the deceased freemen’s estates; and the youngest attorney of the Lord Mayor’s court being clerk to that of the orphans, is appointed to take securities for their several portions, in the name of the Chamberlain of London, who is a corporation of himself, for the service of the said orphans; and to whom a recognizance or bond, made upon the account of an orphan, shall by the custom of London, descend to his successor.

It may not be improper to add, that when a freeman dies and leaves children in their minority, the clerks of the several parishes are according to a law of the city, to give in their names to the common crier, who is immediately to summon the widow, or executor, to appear before the court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen, to bring an inventory of, and security for the testator’s estate; for which two months time is commonly allowed: and, in case of non-appearance, or refusal of security, the Lord Mayor may commit the contumacious executor to Newgate.
