    1. [HWE] Glasshouse Street

    3. Dear Liisa Glasshouse Street seems to have moved since the 18th century. As far as I can gather it covered the ground of the present-day Vigo Street, crossed what is now Regent Street, then joined up to Brewer Street (still in the same place). To confuse matters further, the present-day Glasshouse Street was called Marylebone Street in the 18th century. If you look at http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll? <http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?> it becomes a little clearer. I think the author of John Tevelein's quote: "First of all there was a Huguenot Church in Glasshouse Street, London W1 near Regents Park" was muddling Regent's Park with Regent Street (neither of which existed in the 1750s). At any rate, both old and new Glasshouse Streets are only a few steps away from modern Leicester Square (shrunk from Leicester Fields) and Orange Street. Sorry if you are still confused... Contact me offline and I'll try and look further Julia ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
