More references

There are quite a few references already but here are a few more detailed ones about the demolition, rebuilding and present situation which I haven't the skill to add to the article itself, but they are probably as useful here.

This is available online if you have JSTOR access at http://www.jstor.org/stable/1568600 (Detailed account of the rebuilding and the politics and personalities involved, with some pictures).

As far as I know the rebuilt Hall stood alone until the first additions in 1925/26, the article as written gives the impression that additions were made before this. Davidnugget (talk) 21:30, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have templated those references, and added them to the bibliography (plus another two articles from the London Topographical Record). I'm not familiar with the building in detail, but the 1910 "re-erection" does seem to have involved quite a lot of new work (discussed in Godfrey 1913). I have changed "buildings" to "work" in the lede, but have not gone further than that. Like everything else on Wikipedia, of course, there is plenty of room for improvement.

Mary Sidney in ODNB

Mary Sidney, "one of the most notable writers of her time" is shown as living at Crosby Hall after leaving Queen Elizabeth's service. This cited to the ODNB here^[1]. I think that's the wrong Lady Sidney, with the right one being here^[2]. Unfortunately, if I've got it right, this ONDB entry doesn't contain the material quoted either—it notes instead that she may have been living around the corner at Baynard's Castle. Tagged {{Failed verification}}. I'll try to find an better ref in due course.--217.155.32.221 (talk) 23:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lock-up after the Lombard Street riots

Thomas More was indeed involved in the dispersal of the Lombard Street riots (as Shakespeare points out) and the people rounded up were too many for the local compters to accommodate. The reference that they were kept at Crosby Hall is (at the time of posting) to a short biography of a twentieth-century archbishop of Canterbury. Tagged {{failed verification}} I couldn't find it anywhere else, either. Anybody help? --217.155.32.221 (talk) 22:31, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Found it. Sorry, should have looked harder.--217.155.32.221 (talk) 08:44, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
