L&M: THE CRISP FAMILY: There are several families in Westminster in 1660 named Crisp or Cripps. Mrs. Crisp, Pepys' friend and neighbor, lives in the s-w corner of Axe Yard, in a roomy house (taxed on 8 hearths), next door to the Hartlibs. Her daughter, Diana, caught Pepys' attention. Her son, Laud, by 1663 was an officer at the King's Wardrobe; he then petitioned for a place as a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal -- Pepys admired his voice -- but his name does not appear in the establishment lists of that time. In 1667 he was still at the King's Wardrobe.
