The whole of the space between the parish boundary and Great Turnstile was occupied by houses at least as early as, and probably long before, the reign of Henry VIII. In 1545, Edward Stockwood sold to Thomas Dyxson, 5 messuages and 5 gardens in the parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. Giles-in-the-Fields,[A] and when, in the following year, Dyxson transferred the property to Richard Clyff, the western and eastern boundaries are described[B] as the tenement of John Coke and the inn called <i>The Antelope</i>, respectively. In the course of the next century, the five houses seem to have been divided or rebuilt as seven houses, four of which were in St. Giles, the remaining three being in St. Andrew's.[C] Between the westernmost of these and Great Turnstile there were, in 1545, three houses in the possession of John Coke.[D] These had belonged to the Priory of St. John of Jerusalem before the dissolution of that monastery.[E] Great Turnstile is mentioned as early as 1522, under the name "Turngatlane"[F]; it was also known as "Turnpiklane."[G] It is quite certain that in 1545 no houses had been built along the sides of Great Turnstile, and none probably were erected there until many years later. The earliest records so far obtained of such houses on the eastern and western sides of the lane are dated respectively 1632 and 1630[H], and probably these dates are not far removed from the actual time of building. Reference was made in a previous volume[I] to the ten houses belonging to the Priory of St. John of Jerusalem, which, in the reign of Henry VIII., occupied the frontage of High Holborn, between Great Turnstile and certain property belonging to the Hospital of St. Giles, and it was [Footnote A: <i>Middlesex Feet of Fines</i>, 37 Henry VIII., Mich.] [Footnote B: <i>British Museum Addl.
