----, for making a wall upon the new ditch at, 213.
John Norbonne, who was created to that office, at Bridewell Place, by the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal, on Allhallows-day, 1528, and was promoted to be Richmond Herald in 1586. He died in the tower, but for what reason he incurred the royal displeasure is unknown. The embroidery work for which he was paid 35_l._ was probably of the king's arms or badges.

----, for cotton for lining the king's, 182.
This is a singular entry. Lining a boat with cotton may either mean that cotton was used instead of oakum for caulking, or the inside of the after part of the boat might have been lined for the purpose of comfort in sitting, or leaning against the sides.
The note on barges applies in some degree to these frequent notices relative to boats, excepting that the former were chiefly used for the conveyance of the king and persons of consequence, whilst the latter carried his "stuff," that is, the necessary household goods, &c. and servants.
