"... Fritillaria Meleagris: In the "Naturalists' Almanack" for 1743, it is said that "this very beautiful and local plant flowers profusely in some meadows at Mortlake". This species, called by the country folk "snake's head," used to flower in a meadow at Mortlake, Surrey, known from that circumstance as "the Snake's-head Meadow," but of late years it has become very scarce, if not altogether eradicated by the ruthless hands of the village children, by whom the early showy plant was coveted as an ornament to their May garlands. The meadow is at the Thames side, beyond the brewhouses, and about midway between the village and Kew bridge. On visiting the spot at the proper time, during several seasons within the last five years, I was not able to obtain more than a single speciment. I am not aware of any other recorded station for the Fritillary in the immediate environs of the metropolis."

"... extended the tapestry manufacture at Mortlake, Surrey, established by James the First, for which Rubens furnished some exquisite designs. These tapestries, which adorned Hampton Court and other palatial residences of Charles, were, with the king's superb collection of pictures, taken away by the orders of Cromwell, but afterwards purchased by Cardinal Mazarin, the Archduke of Austria, and the Spanish ambassador."
