IRHB comments

On 26 Oct. 1623 (O.S.) at the French ambassador's house in Blackfriars, London, the floor of an upper room collapsed under the weight of three hundred people who were attending a religious service. Nearly a hundred were killed. The disaster is known as the Fatal Vespers. Strype, who deals with this disaster at length, sees it as God's punishment of all Englishmen – not just the Catholics – for their. Yet perhaps involuntarily he reveals another attitude when he proceeds to focus on the case of a survivor, John Gee, MA, who "when all about him were slain, and he involved and covered with heaps of Rubbish, and dead Carcasses, by wonderful Providence escaped without Hurt". Gee, we are told, had come "not so much out of Zeal to the Popish Religion (which he had now left) as out of Curiosity to hear Father Drury preach". Following "this his singular Deliverance", Gee "wrote a Book, entituled, The Foot out of the Snare: Wherein he detected sundry late Practices and Impostures of the Priests and Jesuits then in London, and other Places in England". While this does not necessarily follow from the passage, it does not require a long jump to draw the conclusion that all those who did not survive, among them the family from Robin Hood Court, did so because they had not given up their Popish beliefs.

John Gee's book does not include the list of casualties found in Strype.[2] Without a proper verifiable source reference the passage can hardly be taken as documenting that Robin Hood Court in Shoe Lane, Holborn, was already in existence in 1623.
