  Duane,
  
  I should have posted a response to your excellent message some time ago, but things get put off. I thought that I would share with you (and others) a little report I have written up on Penelope. I wrote most of this sopme time ago and have not looked at it for some time, but added a few things just now, such as the fact that I located the original church record book for the Old First Baptist Church of Middletown, NJ (with family records back to the late 1600s, and church records dating from 1712)... but alas no mention of Penelope Stout specifically.
  
  Anyway, I'll paste my report below on Penelope, and then also my report on Richard Stout.
  
  I'd appreciate feedback and comparing notes. Thanks again Duane for your excellent comments.

  THE STORY OF "THE BRAVE" PENELOPE STOUT (abt.1622-1732)
  compiled by Nick Sheedy
  
  In a history book of Middletown, Monmouth Co., New Jersey, the volume opens by hailing Middletown as the first and oldest permanent settlement of New Jersey (sic*), the home of "the ancestors of Abraham Lincoln and Daniel Boone", the home of pirate sagas and battles, and the home of "The Brave Penelope Stout." Penelope is believed to have been the first white woman to set foot on, and most likley was the first to reside in what would become East New Jersey. Penelope is oft' claimed to have lived to the age of 110 and, at her death, had about 500 living descendants. She was an extraordinary woman and hers is a quite remarkable story.
  
  * Bergen also claims to be the oldest permanent settlement in New Jersey, being settled in 1664.--although the Swedes had settled in the Delaware Valley before that, and the Quakers were soon to follow by 1677, and not to mention the Native settlements and towns. The Indian deeds for the area around Middletown were obtained in 1664 and 1665, and the Monmouth Patent made in 1665.
  
  While it is speculative, Penelope's maiden name is said to have been "Kent" or "Lent". She is believed to have been of English extraction, but born in Holland. She married first a man whose name, it is said, was Van Princes (sometimes "Van Princin" or "Van Prinzen"). It has also (more recently) been suggested that her maiden name was Thompson and that her first husband was a Kent Van Princes; it is also claimed that his name was "Jan VanPrincin", and that Penelope's father was a preacher, or even a Baptist minister--in my mind, there seems to be no basis for these other claims. And, if I may make one other observation about the supposition that Penelope's father was a Reverend, or that she came from Baptist stock: It seems to me to most likely that the Stout family had no affiliation with the Baptist faith until they settled at Gravesend, LI, and afterward at Monmouth, NJ, where a number of the original patentees and settlers were associated with the Baptists of Rhode Island (and there was also a Quaker influence there.). I find no record anywhere of any person with the surname "Van Prinses" or any similar spelling. It seems more likely that the "Van" is an affix added by tradition and that the name was simple Prins or Princin--although I should mention that, in German and Dutch, an "in" is often added to the name of a married woman to denote such--in this way, in some record the married name of a woman named Houpt would read Houpt(in) and Streib would be read Streib(in), so that, if this old tradition, perhaps transcribed from some old records were read to be "Princin", perhaps the name we should be looking for is actually "Prins"! Moreover, the only place I found Penelope in a primary record (1648 in Gravesend), her name was written "Prince". The surname(s) Prins, Prince, Prinz, Prince and Prence are found in Holland about 1600, but no persons with the surname Kent or Lent --it might be well to point out that "Van" or "Von" as an affix in a name mean "of" or "from" and so Van Prins would refer to a place from where the family came, however I can find no place by that name anywhere.
  
  Continuing, the young couple is believed to have taken passage from Holland to America with a group of Dutch or Walloon immigrants and they shipwrecked off Sandy Hook, New Jersey--this wreck occurred most likely in 1647 or 1648, although most claims sat they wrecked in 1643 or 1644.
  From primary research, it seems most likely that Penelope emigrated from The Netherlands on the ship Kath, Hans Jelisz owner, which began loading in Amsterdam, Holland on 6 June 1647, set sail in June 1647 and then wrecked on the Jersey shore sometime in 1647 (certainly before the summer of 1648). This ship Kath wrecked off "Sandy Hook" and the wreck was reported back to Amsterdam, Holland in November 1648. Since "Penelope Prince" appears in records of Gravesend, Long Island in September 1648, we may safely assume this is the window for her arrival sometime (between Summer 1647 and summer 1648, likely closer to the earlier).
  
  Jaap Jacobs' thesis on ships sailing between The Netherlands and New Netherlands, "De Scheepvaart en handel van de Nederlandse Republiek op Nieuw-Nederland 1609-1675", shows the Kath:
  "107.1 (ship) Kath, Hans Jelisz (Captain/Master/Owner/). WIC (Dutch West India Company) (departed from) Amsterdam (departure date? ) 1647. (sailed for) Nieuw-A'dam (departure date?) June 1647.
  
  Conducting more research on this ship, I found one Linda Stout Deak who wrote the following:
  "I traveled today to Amsterdam and went to the Scheepsvaart (the Maritime or Ship Navigation, esp. Atlantic) Museum. It is a splendid old granite building on the water a fifteen-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. I was looking for Penelope's name on a passenger list...
  "I scanned the doctoral thesis (in Dutch) of a J.A. Jacobs from Leiden University on the ships sailing to the new world from Holland between 1609-1675. The average was 3.75 ships per year, about five ships per year in the period 1639-1648. It seems very unlikely that another Dutch ship (besides the Kath) was beached at Sandy Hook on the New Jersey coast about the same time.
  "The official record reads: 107.1 Kath br Hans Jelisz. (owner) Jacht (yacht or sailboat) WIC (West Indies Company) 1647 Nieuw Amsterdam voor 6-6-1647 Kreeg in Juni 1647 de opdracht tot kaapveren. November 1648 bij Sandy Hook gestrand. (Did not return)"
  
  I might add that since, between 1640 and 1648, only about 45 ships total from the Netherlands are recorded arriving at New Netherlands (now New York). I would find it very difficult to believe that two Dutch ships would have wrecked off Sandy Hook, New Jersey, during that short time (and that there is only a record for the one--the "Kath"). I think it is most likely that Penelope and her first husband took passage on any ship other than the Kath in mid-to-late 1647.
  
  After the Kath wrecked off Sandy Hook, most or all of the passengers and crew are said to have reached shore safely. Penelope's husband was either injured or sick. Hearing or fearing of an Indian attack the other passengers set out on foot for New Amsterdam (now New York). Penelope stayed with her husband.
  Samuel Smith's "History of New Jersey" (page 65), published in 1765 --the earliest know written account of Penelope-- relates that a party of Indians found the young couple and immediately killed Penelope's husband. They then mangled Penelope, hacking her with a hatchet, and left her for dead. She was so seriously injured that various accounts relate that her skull had been fractured and that she did not have full use of one of her arms for the remainder of her life, and that her abdomen was cut so that her bowels were exposed and she had to hold herself together. When she regained consciousness, she was able to crawl into the shelter of a hollow tree.
  After holding up for several days (one accounts claims a whole week), sustaining herself on fungus and excretions from the inside of the tree (according to one version) and wild berries, Penelope was found by two other Indians. One story relates that, upon being found, she prayed that they might end her misery. Various accounts say that she was found after leaving the hollow in search of water, or that she saw a deer with an arrow and crawled out, or that a dog led the Indians to her. The story continues that the younger of the two Indians raised his hatchet to strike Penelope dead, but that the older

Timber frame with lath and plaster, panelled oak infill with brick nogging to north-east wing, and whitewashed brick to the extension to the south-east wing; plain tile roof; brick stacks. PLAN: the facade is 69 feet in length (approximately 20 metres), curved to follow the line of the street. 2 storeys with attics to gables, 4 bays; probably originally L-plan with short, gabled cross-wing to north, and with range to south-east probably incorporated as a cross-wing during the C17; further extensions to both wings. There are stacks to the rear of the main range at south-east and north-east. TIMBER FRAME: mainly of close studding, except to the north wing which has box frames. The first-floor is jettied with a bressumer beam which has hollow, ovolo, hollow and double-ovolo moulding, supported on carved and ovolo-moulded brackets, some renewed. Carving to the brackets on either side of the carriage arch bears the initials 'TG' (Thomas Grene) and 'EG' (Elizabeth Grene) and shields; there is foliate carving to the spandrels of the carriage arch. Slender columnettes articulate the main posts to the ground- and first-floors. Carved bargeboards, partly renewed. Good carpenters marks are clearly visible within the carriage arch. EXTERIOR: chamfered plinth. Off-centre left carriage entrance with renewed plank doors within hollow-moulded arch in double-hollow-moulded jambs. Replacement 2- and 3-light mullion and transom windows have diamond leaded lights and ovolo-moulded sills. Coving has been added below the jetty. The first-floor has a continuous moulded sill band with hollow, ovolo, hollow and ovolo moulding, partly renewed. Each wing has a 4-light window, the centre has a long, 12-light window; all with ovolo-moulded mullions and transoms and diamond-pane leaded lights. Main entrance to south wing, at rear, through carriage arch: porch with outer posts decorated with slender pilasters, panelled door with carved decoration in the spandrels. The rear of the carriage arch has a similar moulded bressumer beam with a long, 9-light mullion and transom window above; there are further posts and a girding beam with carved decoration in the spandrels within the arch. 2-light mullion window in the apex of the gable. Two further entrances to the north side of the carriage arch give access to the north wing. The north wing gable with has a 3-light, mullioned attic window to its south side. Otherwise the wings have casement windows and 6/6 sashes. Further entrance to the south wing, a re-used, pointed door with 4 panels and quatrefoil decoration with rose motif. INTERIOR: there are remains of two original staircases which wound around the north-east and south-east stacks. That to the north-east has been reconstructed, that to the south-east was interrupted when a wider, principal staircase was added during the C17 which has square newel posts with shaped finials and an upper row of turned balusters. The ground floor to the south of he carriage arch has been one large room since c1949. There is a transverse beam, with mortices for a dividing wall, which is supported by an inserted, chamfered post; there is a further ovolo- and hollow-moulded axial beam. Oak panelling to the dado, that to the south wall is thought to be original to the house. The C18 stone-flagged floor was brought from Wychbold Hall, near Droitwich. The chimneypiece to the south-east has a 4-centred arch with 2 levels of ovolo moulding. A dining room to the south wing has imported Georgian features including a shaped cupboard with fluted Ionic columns and shaped shelves with shell niche and dentil cornice; C16 Italian majolica tiles above the chimneypiece; panels of early-C18 wallpaper; 7-raised-and-fielded-panel door. First-floor: exposed timber framing to the rear, central part includes massive joweled posts fo r the north wing. A carved frieze of c1630 has the Street family coat of arms and scroll and dragon carving on two sides of the central room; oak panelling. Transverse and axial beams have double ovolo moulding. To the north east, a chimney piece with chamfered lintel. A cupboard to the north end of the corridor has shaped shelves and a shell niche. Some exposed close studding; the partition wall has arch bracing. The north wing has extensive exposed close studding to the front part; panelling includes linenfold (some of which is thought to be original to the house) and oak panelling; medieval tiles from Halesowen Abbey; panels of painted and carved decoration with figures and foliage to the bedroom. ROOF: the main range has three bays with collar-and-tie-beam trusses, one level of rough-hewn purlins (one removed), and exposed rafters. There is a significant drop in the floor level between he main range and the south wing; there is also a frame for a doorway to the south gable of the main roof. The purlins from the south range are truncated to the west end and there are short, joining purlins from here to the main range. The timbering to the west end of the south wing is exposed and of high quality suggesting that this may have been an external wall; trusses have collar-beam and queen struts, the south wing has two levels of rough-hewn purlins (the upper renewed) and rafters. To the east end of the south range is a queen post, collar beam truss and a formerly external stack in narrow brick. In the further range the roof has one level of purlins to the south and two to the north. The north wing has curved collar beams, one level of exposed, chamfered purlins, with curved wind braces and re-used rafters. HISTORICAL NOTE: The original character of the house is somewhat unclear. However, it seems that initially the house had a rear hall and 2 rear wings containing heated parlour, kitchen, 6 chambers and a heated 'little hall'. A continuous projecting window along the ground-floor facade. There were originally four first-floor windows, each one lighting a separate room. On the ground-floor there were three rooms on the street front, that to the south with fireplace. An advanced design, there was no open hall and all of the first-floor rooms had ceilings. The rear, left wing is mostly C17. The relationship of the south-west wing to the main building and its date are subjects of debate. The disposition of the roof timbers in the main range and this rear range indicated that the two were probably separate buildings originally. The addition of the wide staircase c1630 filled the gap between the two buildings and at this stage it seems probable that the rear range was incorporated into the main building. It has been suggested that the south-east wing could have been an earlier building on the site or, alternatively, that it may have been built at the same time as the main house, but used as a brew-house or similar. There are architectural parallels between this building and The Commandery, Sidbury (qv), for example in the moulding of the beams and the carpenters' marks, and in the use of slender columnettes which appear also on Nos 4 and 5 Cornmarket (qv). The house was probably built for Thomas Grene (or Green), a wealthy brewer, and was subsequently owned or tenanted by Thomas Twesyll (formerly auditor to Katherine of Aragon and an associate of Thomas Cromwell). Richard Stroude was in occupation by 1550, followed by the Goodlacks; the next known householders are Francis Street, older and younger. Street bought the property c1570, selling it to the Corporation of Worcester in 1600 as a charity investment, but the family retained a 400-year lease on the property. Subsequent lessees include George Street (brewer) who was Mayor of Worcester in 1635; his son, Thomas (later Sir Thomas, M.P. and judge) administered the property for his younger brother, John. During the early C17 the Streets made improvements to the property, adding the wide staircase, the parlour window and the first-floor frieze....

   Note: Elmley Castle, formerly located 1 km south of the village of Elmley Castle in Worcestershire, was a late 11th century earthwork and timber castle which received stone additions in the 12th and possibly 13th centuries. History The ruins of this important Norman and medieval castle are located on the flanks of Bredon Hill, 1 km to the south of the village to which it gives its name. The castle is supposed to have been built for Robert 'le Despenser' d'Abetot, Steward to William Rufus in the years following the death of William the Conqueror. Robert died childless (c 1098) and his sole heir was his brother Urse d'Abetot. Elmley Castle descended through those heirs to the powerful Beauchamp family with the marriage of Urse's daughter Emmeline d'Abetot, to Walter de Beauchamp, later called Walter of Elmley Castle. It remained the Beauchamp demense until William de Beauchamp inherited the earldom and castle of Warwick from his maternal uncle, William Maudit, 8th Earl of Warwick, in 1268. Thereafter, Elmley Castle remained a secondary possession of the Earls of Warwick until it was surrendered to the Crown in 1487. In 1528, the castle seems to have been still habitable, for Walter Walshe was then appointed constable and keeper. In 1544, however, prior to its grant by the Crown to Sir William Herbert and Christopher Savage, a survey was made of the manor and castle of Elmley, and it was found that the castle was completely uncovered and in decay. John Leland writing at about this time says, "Ther stondithe now but one Tower, and that partly broken. As I went by I saw Carts carienge Stone thens to amend Persore (Pershore) Bridge about ii miles of. It is set on the Tope of a Hill full of Wood, and a Townelet hard by." Only earthworks now remain, which are designated as a Scheduled Monument. A medieval deer park surrounding the castle still survives.

    Note: Elmley Castle, which stood on the summit of a hill in the deer park to the south of the village, is supposed to have been built by Robert le Despenser, brother of Urse the Sheriff. After the castle at Worcester fell into decay Elmley was for a time the chief seat of the Beauchamps, and it followed the same descent as the manor of Elmley Castle until the death of Thomas Byrche Savage in 1776. The house and park went to his widow, who sold them to Richard Bourne Charlett, at whose death in 1822 they were purchased of his executors by Colonel Thomas Henry Hastings Davies, M. P. for Worcester. He died in 1846 without issue, leaving the estate to his widow for life, then in succession to his two brothers, Warburton, who died in 1870, and General Francis John Davies, who died in 1874. Colonel Davies's widow married Sir John Pakington, afterwards Lord Hampton, and died in 1892, when the castle passed to the present owner, Lieut.-General Henry Fanshawe Davies, J.P., D.L., son of General Francis John Davies. In 1216 the king committed the custody of Elmley Castle to Walter de Lacy, Hugh de Mortimer and Walter de Clifford to keep while Walter de Beauchamp went to the Papal Legate to obtain absolution for his lapse from fidelity to the king. In 1298 the castle was found to be in need of much repair, and after the death of Guy de Beauchamp Earl of Warwick in 1315 it was in such a bad state as to be valued at only 6s. 8d., evidently a nominal valuation, as in another survey taken at the same time it was said to be worth nothing. The castle was granted by the king to the executors of Guy's will in 1315–16 on condition that they should not grant it to any other without the king's licence. The custody of the castle was, however, taken from them and granted to Hugh le Despenser the elder about 1317. In November of that year Hugh was ordered to fortify it, and to put in 20 fencible footmen to be retained at the king's wages until further orders. Hugh le Despenser having been banished in 1321 the Sheriff of Worcester was ordered to take the castle into the king's hands, and to cause it to be safely guarded and to make an inventory of the arms and victuals and other goods contained in it. Later in the same year Elmley Castle was taken by the rebel barons under Humphrey de Bohun Earl of Hereford, and suffered considerable damage. It is not known whether it underwent a siege, but the gates and some of the houses were burned and many of the defenders slain. Peace having been restored, order was given in 1322 to the keeper of the castle to disband the extra menat-arms placed there during the war. Some slight repairs were made in the castle in 1413 and 1425, (fn. 24) and again in 1480 and 1492. William Adams was appointed keeper and Thomas Brugge steward in 1478, the castle being then in the hands of the king on account of the minority of Edward Earl of Warwick. Sir John Savage, the younger, received a grant of the constableship in 1488. (n 1528 the castle seems to have been still habitable, for Walter Walshe was then appointed constable and keeper, and 10 years later Urian Brereton succeeded to the office. In 1544, however, prior to the grant to Sir William Herbert and Christopher Savage, a survey was made of the manor and castle of Elmley, and it was found that the castle, strongly situated upon a hill surrounded by a ditch and wall, was completely uncovered and in decay. Leland writing at about this time says, 'Ther stondithe now but one Tower, and that partly broken. As I went by I saw Carts carienge Stone thens to amend Persore Bridge about ii miles of. It is set on the Tope of a Hill full of Wood, and a Townelet hard by.' Of the fabric of the ancient castle, which stood on the summit of the hill about half a mile to the south of the existing building, only a very small amount of masonry, probably forming part of the keep wall, remains. The outer and inner ditch and the site of the barbican can be distinctly traced. The present mansion of Elmley Castle is a large stone Elizabethan house of two stories with gabled attics. The plan seems to have been originally E-shaped, but in 1702 the house was entirely remodelled and the character of the plan transformed by filling the arms of the E with brick additions, the south or garden front being refaced with brick to harmonize in appearance with the new building. At the same time large sash-windows were substituted for the original mullioned openings, one or two of which still survive in the attic story and in the cellar. The finest feature of the house is the handsome staircase hall added at this period to the south of the entrance hall. The ceiling is a particularly good example of Queen Anne plaster work. The stairs are of oak with twisted balusters supporting the hand-rail. The east wing contains the principal apartments, and the panelling, where not replaced by later work, dates from the 1702 remodelling. The drawing room at the south end of this wing has been increased to its present size by the removal of a partition. In the southernmost of the two rooms out of which it has been formed Queen Elizabeth is said to have slept when she visited Elmley Castle. Between the drawing room and the dining room is a small room called the cedar parlour from the panelling of this material which lines its walls. At the side of the doorway opening from the hall to the staircase was originally an entrance to a secret chamber or hiding hole which can now be entered from one of the first floor bedrooms. The kitchen and offices are in the west wing, which retains some original 16th-century detail, including a stone fireplace with moulded jambs and a four-centred head, and a small external doorway now partly masked by a brick porch. The PARK at Elmley, which belonged to the lords of Elmley Castle, was possibly made about 1234, for in that year Walter de Beauchamp received from the king a gift of ten does and three bucks for stocking his park at Elmley. (fn. 33) In 1298 the wood in the park was worth 4s. yearly. Thomas de Beauchamp Earl of Warwick complained in 1349 that several persons, including Robert de Amyas, parson of the church of Great Comberton, had hunted in his free chase at Elmley Castle and carried away deer. The park was enlarged about 1480 by the addition of part of the demesne land of the manor called Court Close. In 1478 William Adams was appointed keeper of the park and warren at Elmley Castle. In 1480 John Mortimer was appointed master of the game in Elmley Park, and in 1484 John Hudelston succeeded to this office, but it was granted in the following year to Richard Naufan, and in 1488 to Sir John Savage. Henry VIII appointed Sir John Savage and his son John Savage keepers of the park and warren in 1512. Walter Walshe was appointed keeper in 1528. He died in 1538, and Thomas Evans and Rowland Morton both wrote to Cromwell asking for his aid in obtaining the position, the latter saying, 'if it please the King by your Lordship's mediation to prefer me, I and mine shall stand balanced in also et basso, live and die in your Lordship's retinue.' He also begs credence for his messenger 'and will give your Lordship £20.' Neither of these suppliants received the post, which was granted to Urian Brereton. The park was included in the sale to Christopher Savage, and remained in his family until 1822, when it was sold with the castle to Colonel Thomas Henry Hastings Davies. It now belongs to Lieut.-General Henry Fanshawe Davies, J.P., D.L. HONOUR Elmley Castle was the caput of the Worcestershire honour of the Beauchamps. The chief part of the honour descended to them from Urse the Sheriff, but Elmley Castle came to them from Robert, Urse's brother. The honour seems to have consisted of the land which Urse held of the Bishop of Worcester in 1086, and was held in 1166 and in the 13th century by the Beauchamps for fifteen knights' fees. The manor and castle were included in the honour and followed the same descent. A rent roll of the honour in 1698 is preserved at the British Museum. When the castle was purchased by Colonel Davies he revived the claim to chief rents due to the honour, which had been allowed to lapse. The owners of most of the manors compounded and their lands were enfranchised. The court of the honour of Elmley seems to have been held at Worcester in the 14th century, for in the inquisition taken on the death of Guy de Beauchamp in 1315 it was said that the pleas and perquisites of the court of the castle of Worcester called the court of knights pertained to the manor of Elmley. MANORS King Offa is said to have granted the land of two manentes in ELMLEY to the Bishop of Worcester in 780, and the overlordship of the manor remained with the see of Worcester until the middle of the 15th century. In 1478–9 the manor was said to be held of the king in chief. ¶Brihteah, Bishop of Worcester (1033–8), gave the vill of Elmley to a certain servant of his, but Bishop Lyfing, his successor, restored it to the monastery. Later, however, on the entreaties of his friends, he gave it to Aegelric Kiu, one of his knights, to hold for his life only, with reversion to the monastery. 'After the death of Kiu, it was restored to the monastery and one Witheric was bailiff, but Robert le Despenser, the brother of the sheriff, with the authority of the King took it away from the monastery.' This Robert held 4 hides in the manor of Cropthorne, evidently representing the manor of Elmley, at the date of the Domesday Survey. He died without issue, and the manor of Elmley Castle passed to the Beauchamps, the heirs of his brother Urse D'Abitot, the Sheriff of Worcester. Emmeline daughter and heir of Urse married Walter de Beauchamp, who is mentioned as the owner of these 4 hides in an early 12th-century survey of Oswaldslow. He was succeeded in 1129–39 by his son William....

14. Title: Wikiwand: Greyfriars, Worcester
    Note: Greyfriars, Worcester, was a Franciscan friary and school in Worcester, England. It is a Grade I listed building. History Greyfriars 'The Greyfriars' in Friar Street is the finest half-timbered building in the City. From the 13th century until the Reformation the street was dominated by a Franciscan friary from which Friar Street and Greyfriars both get their names. It was suppressed in 1530s when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries. Franciscan friars were sometimes called Grey Friars because of their grey habits. The name of Greyfriars might have come from the house being wrongly associated, from the early twentieth century, with the old Friary, the last building the friars added. 18th-century and 19th-century historians make no reference to No 9 being part of the Old Friary. In 1828 Ambrose Florence merely states ‘... large timber ribbed house adjoins the wall of the new city gaol...’ and in 1882 Littlebury dismisses the building as ‘a quaint old timbered building worth glancing at in passing...’. Official City Guides in the early 20th century also list No 9 under Old Houses, remarking ‘... one of the most interesting is the large structure in Friar Street supposed to have been an ancient hostelry’. However, The Victoria County History (eds William Page and J. W. Willis-Bund), published in 1924, says ‘... facing Friar Street is a fine two-storied building of timber, having a bold gable at either end and a gateway in the middle, over which is a window of not less than twelve lights. This house may only be the town house of some city merchant, but its position suggests that it belonged to the Grey Friars, and might have been their guest-house”. A further suggestion that No 9 may have been part of the Friary was in 1911 when a local historian, Lewis Shepherd, wrote in the journal of the Associated Archaeological Societies ‘... a considerable portion of the old friary still exists. .. it is of the early Tudor period ...’. Without giving any reasons he implies that No 9 was the guest house of the Friary. In 1937, an expert on monastic architecture, A.R. Martin, said that Greyfriars was not part of the Friary but a typical medieval merchant’s house. This information was not re-discovered until 1983-85 when a local historian, Pat Hughes, was doing some research into Friar Street and local charities. She identified that rent for No.s 7-9 was paid to the St Thomas Day Charities an ancient ‘bread and coal’ charity with records dating back to the 15th century. She was able to trace the tenants for No 9 and establish that Greyfriars was built c1480-5, probably by Thomas Grene, an influential citizen and brewer, who was High Bailiff of Worcester on two occasions. In 1947 Canon Buchanan-Dunlop, another local historian, writing in Worcester Archaeological Transactions, accepted the assumption that No 9 was part of the old friary. This arose from his research which showed that the house, and the old friary site next door, had been owned by the Corporation for at least 350 years. The external shape of the two gables, with a long pitched roof level between them, is typical of merchant houses of the late 15thC. The remains of the very richly carved barge boards on the gables also suggest a very expensive and high quality building of the early Tudor period, as does the height of the archway which horses and riders would have been able to pass through into the courtyard. The plot now occupied by 7-9 has always changed hands in its present form. No 7 (now a hairdresser) was built at the end of the 17th century. As the north wall of No. 9 shows considerable weathering, the No. 7 plot may either have been used as a garden or occupied by outbuildings at the beginning of the century This section may have been copied and pasted from http://www.worcesterpeopleandplaces.org.uk/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=128&cntnt01returnid=76 (DupDet · CopyVios), possibly in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy.

(June 2016) In 1603, the Worcester Corporation granted a lease of the property for 400 years, and for many years it was the home of the Street family, one of which, George Street, a staunch Royalist, was removed from the City Chamber when the Earl of Essex entered Worcester in 1642. In 1643 he died, at the early age of 49, being followed by his widow in 1644. It was stated on their tomb in St. Andrew's Church, that 'she could not bear to be left behind,' but as the plague was rampant in Worcester in that year, she probably had little choice. Their son, Sir Thomas Street, was a barrister, and filled many important offices. He was Town Clerk and Recorder of Worcester, and of Droitwich, and M.P for Worcester City in five Parliaments between 1659 and 1681. In 1659 the Puritans tried to turn him out of Parliament, and on the grounds that he had borne arms for the King and that he had used profane language, but the Committee of Privileges had to admit that he had not fought against Parliament, and that he had used no stronger language than, 'by faith and trothe.' Sir Thomas rose to high rank in his profession and became a figure of national importance, when he alone of twelve judges pronounced against the right of James II to grant Dispensation from the Test Act. Street's public career ended with the coming of William III, who would not even grant him an interview. By 1698, the lease of Greyfriars had been sold to the Maris family, who lived there for over 100 years, and then in 1724, it was let to Daniel George, a baker and maltster, who turned the top of the house, immediately under the rafters, into a tiled withering floor, the tiles being cemented down to the boards. (Withering is part of the process of preparing the barley for malting). It was the George family who divided the Friary into four tenements, and built the row of ten cottages in the garden, eastward to the City Wall; the road through the Friary gateway became known as George's Yard....
