Only known from the following passages in the will of Alice Startute, widow, dated September 22nd, 1623 (P.C.C., 123, Swann):- "Item I give to the goodwife Brewer, The wife of goodman Brewer of the parish of St. Martine in the Vintrey ... printer, my old paragon gowne laced with coullored fringed lace ...
