Jordan, Thomas, adjoining ‘The Rose & Crown’, Snow Hill, London, turner and cm (1703–35). Insurance policies taken out between 1703–18 list his trade solely as a turner. He appears to have been a substantial property owner and in 1712 insured 27 other properties in addition to his own house. Although many of these buildings were insured for as little as £50 each, one house in 1703 was covered for £250 alone. His stock in trade was sold off in March 1735 and on the cabinet side included ‘fine Mahogany, walnut-tree & other Bookcases, Buroes, Chest-tables, Pier & chimney glasses, sconces etc’.
