Improbable Mitton burial Coffin in Cripplegate Case
A Cripplegate ecclesiastical inquiry questions the Mitton coffin find over his supposed burial. Arguments probe hair color, forehead, chalk-stone hands, age at death, lack of affluence, and the lead coffin’s necessity. The piece cites portraits by Vertue and notes on three Miss Smiths, with critique of antiquarian credulity and a possible royal court review.
