Christopher Shawe

In September 1589, Shawe married Isobel Buttes, originally from Streatham, at St Benet's, Paul's Wharf, the church used by the College of Arms.

[£3][8]The costume and shoes were for Anne of Denmark herself, who played the Titan sea goddess Tethys with her ladies as rivers personified.

[11] Male performers in Jonson's Masque of Hymen wore crowns with veils of carnation and silver net lawn.

[13] During the masque Tethys gave Prince Henry an embroidered scarf, figuratively or literally representing Britain, a "zone of love and amity".

It is not clear if Shawe embroidered this prop, and some 19th-century writers including Agnes Strickland, Charlotte Mary Yonge, and Robert Folkestone Williams assumed that Anne of Denmark had made it herself.

He left 20 shillings yearly for the churchwardens of St Benets to give to the poor on 5 November in memory of the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot.
