View of New Buildings:  In late 1634 or early 1635 Thomas Howard, Earl Marshal of England, and other members of the royal Commission on Buildings directed the churchwardens and constables of St Saviour to report on the construction of new buildings — defined as buildings erected on new foundations — by 5 February 1634/5.  This was one of many, generally unsuccessful, attempts to limit urban overcrowding (see Vestry Minute Book under 17 May 1594).  The parish's response, dated 27 February, shelfmark P92/SAV/1327, is given below, as transcribed by Alan H. Nelson.  A draft version of this document, not reproduced here, is P92/SAV/1325.
