Transcription Record notes
The order has been read as a direct response to a kind of neighbourhood dissolution effected by the presence of the newly built Swan playhouse (_The Survey of London_ [London, 1950], 22, p 97, 'Bankside'; quoted in Ingram, '"Neere the Playhouse,"' p 54). Ingram refutes this reading, observing that the statute 'was not a contrivance of the steward of the manor, or of his representatives, but was one of the accomplishments of the Parliament of 1592' (p 57). The statute, that is, was neither confined to Paris Garden, nor could it have been prompted by the construction of the Swan in early 1596.
