Participants in the Consecration Rite for Trinity Chapel
John Chamberlain, in his letter to Sir Dudley Carleton, says, of the attendance at the Consecration of Trinity Chapel, that “there was great concourse of noblemen and gentlemen wherof two or three were indaungered and taken up dead for the time with the extreme presse and thronging.”
We do not know who these unfortunate folks were, but we do know the names of at least a few of the people who were in attendance.
