The Herald and genealogist . t. Stephens day, taking for his text Haggai ii. 9, The glory of this latter House shall be greater than the former, saiththe Lord of Hosts. This prediction, however, has never been accom-plished. After being relinquished as an adjunct to the mansion, butretaining its name as Aylesbury Chapel (after the Earl of Aylesbury,its recent owner), it became a meeting-house of the Presbyterians (inwhich capacity it was despoiled by a Sacheverell mob in the days ofBishop Burnet), until, having been purchased for the EstabhshedChurch, it was reconsecrated by Bishop Gibson on Saint Johns Dayin 1723, and is the present Saint Johns Church, Clerkenwell. Before that date marriages, and perhaps baptisms, had sometimesbeen celebrated in this church or chapel, as we find that John Fenwicke, Esq. the sonne of Sir William Fenwicke, and Lady Mary Howard,daughter of the Earl of Carlisle, were married together in the Earl of Elgins chapel,July 14, 1663.
