Dune’s House

Though never mentioned by name, Stow discusses Dune’s House in his survey of Tower Street Ward:
Next to this is one other fayre house, sometime builded by Angel Dune Grocer, since possessed by Sir Iohn Champneis Alderman and Maior of London, he builded in this house an high tower of Bricke, the first that euer I hearde of in any priuate mans house to ouerlooke his neighboures in this citie. But this delight of his ey was punished with blindnes, some yeres before his death, since that time Sir Perceual Hart knight, a Iolly courtier and knight harbenger to the Queene, was lodged there &c. (Stow i. 97-8)
