Built, possibly, in 1672 and still
there in 1720 for John Strype to write: “.. on the East side of College Hill
is St. Michaels Royal Church, and almost over against the said Church, is
Buckingham house, so called as being bought by the late Duke of Buckingham
and where he some time resided upon a particular humour: It is a very large
and graceful Building, late the Seat of Sir John Lethulier an eminent
Merchant; some time Sheriff and Alderman of London, deceased.”
