DEVONSHIRE HOUSE

   On the east side of Bishopsgate Street, in Bishopsgate Ward Without (O. and M. 1677).

   This was the town house of the Earls of Devonshire 1620-70, and the Countess of Devonshire, whom Strype remembered, died there in 1689. In Stow's time, 1603, it was known as Fisher's Folly (q.v.).

   The site is now covered by Devonshire Square (q.v.).
