When the Order of Knights Templars was dissolved, this portion of their property was bestowed on the Prior and Canons of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, who disposed of it in 1324 to Walter, Bishop of Exeter, who erected VICTORIA EMBANKMENT GARDENS 267 thereon the stately edifice called Exeter House.* It was sub- sequently alienated from the Bishops, and came into the pos- session of several noble families. At the Reformation it was called Paget House, because William, Lord Paget enlarged and
... owned it. Subsequently it was known as Leycester House, atfter Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and afterwards as Essex House,f from Queen Elizabeth's favourite, the Earl of Essex. By a lease dated March ii, 1639, and in con- sideration of the sum of ^f 1,100, Lord Essex let one half of his house for a period of ninety-nine years to William Sey- mour, Earl of Hertford. J Pepys paid a visit here in 1669 Essix House.
