Cecil House

The second was built in the early 17th century on the south side nearly opposite, where Shell Mex House stands today.

The garden included a mount with a spiralling path to its top, a paved tennis court, a bowling alley, and an orchard.

As the queen arrived speeches were given by the characters of a maid, a wife and a widow, praising the virgin state.

[6] On 2 September 1603 a canoe was brought to Cecil's house in London and rowed on the Thames by three Virginian Indians from Tsenacommacah.

[7] The churchman and writer Godfrey Goodman saw a suite of embroidered green velvet wall hangings at Salisbury House, which Robert Cecil had intended as a gift for Queen Anne.
