Ah yes Simon Forman, who had another patient named Mrs. Mountjoy – Shakespeare’s landlady when he lived on Silver Street 🙂

Ahhhhhhhh, lovely. I have often wished you would do a post about Hilliard, actually. His
portrait of Elizabeth I, with the skirt featuring embroidered sea monsters, is my favorite-among-
favorites. I had never seen the image of Shakespeare, above, and it is amazing. What a wizard.

Many thanks, GA.

How my English teachers at Central Foundation Girls’ School, Spital Square, would have regaled us with her history had they known she lived nearby (or even existed). Thanks for this fascinating story GA.

Very very interesting. And a fantastical and intreguing walk (I attended last Sunday). Niall’s walks anre the best, most original and beguiling in London.
