history have had so many un-
complimentary epithets applied
to them as the Harvard grad
uate who gave Downing Street
its name.
After his brief fling at tutor
ing at Harvard, Downing came
back to an England which was,
for the first and only time in
its history, without a king. He
curried favor with the dicta-
torial Lord Protector" Oliver
Cromwell, and rose to be Crom-
wells chief of intelligence-not
a job to make Downing popular
with the Royalists.
Yet when the Stuart Kings
we're restored to the throne,
Downing gained knighthood
and other favors from the re-
stored King by betraying the
names of three men who had
signed the death warrant Of the
beheaded King Charles 1.
AS Sir George Downing, the
Harvard alumnus lorded it over
all he met. Samuel Pepys, the
famous diarist, worked for him.
and on the first page of his
diary describes Downing as "a
stingy fellow" and "a perfdious
rogue"
Downing was granted a lease
on the Downing Street property
by the King in 1854, and built
four houses there. One of these
was No. 10, built for Lord Litch-
field. Downing himself never
lived there and after he died
in 1884, the house reverted to
the crown.
The house which has been
the official residence or head
quarters of every British Prime
Minister since 1881, when Sir
Robert Walpole moved in. now
comprises go rooms, many of
them Sumptuously decorated by
Sir John Soame's renovation
| in 1925.
