BANCROFT AND lIIS ALMSHOUSES.--The merchant
princes of the City of London have always been munificent
contributors tofounded
many and in the olden time un
many almshouses for the infirm and poor ; one of the most
liberal of these ancient citizens was Bancroft, who. 300
years ago, founded and liberally endowed an almshousell._l
Mile-end-road, but, strange to relate, although Bancroft
was an acute and prosperous merchant, he had a weakness
and strange hallucination which I will relate. He believed
that after death he should come to life again, not in the
spirit, but physically, and with this impression he left
monies for his being buried in a capacious and well-
ventilated vault, and that bread, water, and also
matches to kindle a light, should be deposited
in the vault, to be conveniently ready on his awakening,
and that the churchwardens should make frequent visits to
the vault to see how he was. Bancroft was buried in the
church of
er St. Helen's, in Bishopsgate-street Within, and
the vault large stone room is situated in the church, be-
he entrance the entrance of the two aisles. When a youth I re-
member peeping in during one of the official visits of the
churchwardens to the vault, in obedience to the will of Ban-
croft, but the bread, water, and matches had not been dis
turbed, as far as I could ern; and the official visit was
soon over, the churchwardens retiring to the vestry, and
moderately refreshing themselves with a few glasses of
sherry and some biscuits, chatting together on the strange
idea Bancroft must have entertained when he made his will.
