BUCKINGHAM HOUSE

   On the west side of College Hill, in Vintry Ward (O. and M. 1677-Strype, ed. 1720).

   So called as being bought by the late Duke of Buckingham, and where he sometimes resided...a very large and graceful building, late the seat of Sir John Lethulier, an eminent merchant ; sometime Sheriff and Alderman of London (Strype, ed. 1720, I. iii. 13).

   Duke of Buckingham came there 1672 (N. and Q. Feb. 13th, 1897, p. 129).

   It seems probable that the stables and garden of this house extended to the east side of the street, now occupied by No. 21 with a fine gateway giving entrance to it (N. and Q. Feb. 13th, 1897, p. 129).
