Some notes
The Theatre Royal
"Before the theatre moved to its present location on Drury Lane in 1663
it was on Vere St."
That Vere street no longer exists ("although there is now a different Vere
St off Oxford St").
Drury of Hawstead,
Ch. V
"1 July 1600 news of the great fight near Nieuport. Sir Francis Vere received
three wounds and his horse was killed under him, but being mounted behind Sir
Robert Drury he came off again…about 500 English were lost…Charles Drury brother
to Sir Robert and 16 gentlemen of Sir Francis’ company."
