No Man's Land Pubs

The pub's in No man Land are 'Jack Straws Castle which is sadly closed down and turned into luxury apartments, although Spaniard's Inn is nearby and still open. In Chalk Farm is the Red Bull. I cannot find any pub with that name in the area, the closest is the Bull and Gate in Kentish Town. However, Sheila Hancock says Pinter never went to the pub. So maybe its a fruitless search.

Great Fire Doc questions whether Hubert was a Hugonaut

The Museum of London has acquired a handwritten document of evidence on the causes of the Great Fire of London. This contains the following line which suggests for the first time that Robert Hubert who was hanged for starting the Great Fire might not even have been a Catholic. It was also reported that he was not in England at the time the fire started. Rare find offers glimpse of London after the Great Fire - The Wharf : “That this Monsyer Hubert, lived a Papest & died one: all though if ever given out ye He was a Huginet....” is not found in the published versions and appears to be unique to this scribed report.
