own. On their return, the tables and " tea traps " of the inhabitants were brought out into the street, and tea was commenced to the tune of ' Polly put the kettle on,' Her Majesty graciously presiding over her tea-drinking lieges. In the evening she joined them in the al fresco dance on the high pavement, and no one shewed a lighter pair of heels then Her Majesty."
"Nan Page's maiden name was Noakes ; she was married to George Page at All Saints' Church in 1788. Mr. Page was a revenue or riding officer of the Customs of Hastings. He died in 1825, aged
73, and his widow (the Queen), in 1849, aged 81. Their remains are in a part on the south side of the chancel of All Saints' Church.
After the coronation, and until her death, Nan Page lived in an apartment at Mr. Balding's, a picturesque old timbered house, the site of which is now 134, All Saints Street.
A portrait of " Queen Anne" with her crown is given on page 140, and a view of the 'Royal Residence ' is given above. Mrs. Balding is seen standing at the door.
