A passage in Thomas Middleton's 'Inner Temple Masque, or Masque of Heroes' probably alludes to the destruction of the Cockpit when a character says to a personified Shrovetuesday, 'Tis in your charge to pull downe Bawdyhouses, / To set your Tribe a worke . . . ruine the Cockpit, the / Poore Players ne're thriud in't.' The passage also suggests that the Cockpit was made of brick: 'a my conscience, some / Quean pissed upon the first brick.'
