Deans Yard
4, The Sanctuary, Westminster. (SW1) In Dean's Yard Mrs. Barbara Charlotte Lenox, daughter of General Lenox, died in great distress, and was buried with the common soldiery in the further ground of the Broadway Chapel. She was the authoress of The Female Quixote, Shakespeare Illustrated, etc. "Dined yesterday," says Dr. Johnson, "at Mrs. Garrick's, with Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Hannah Moore, and Miss Fanny Burney. Three such women are not to be found: I know not where I could find a fourth, except Mrs. Lenox, who is superior to them all." Samuel, the elder brother of Charles Wesley, was usher in Westminster School, and lived in Dean's Yard. His house was his brother's resort while in town.
