About this book
England in the Days of Old is a book by William Andrews. The text quotes Mr. Pepys as observing, while walking in the galleries at Whitehall, that the ladies of honour were dressed in their riding garbs, with coats and doublets with deep skirts. The text says the wig in some instances appears much out of place, and gives as a notable example the portrait by Kneller, of George, Earl of Albemarle.
The text says a poem by Gascoigne, published in 1575, alludes to rent-day gifts, which appear to have been general in the olden time. The text describes a strange manorial custom kept up at Hilton in the days of Charles II, and an image of brass known as Jack of Hilton.
