I believe Sir Christopher Gardiner was treated in one of the
installments of the "Roll of Arms" (or whatever) that used to be
published regularly in the _NEHGR_. I remember comparing that account
with the information in Leslie Hotson's book (which had some details
about Christopher Gardiner, son [? or grandson] of Justice Gardiner),
and thinking that there were some interesting coincidences or
parallels. But it's been quite a while, so I don't remember many of
the details (but I think the same estate or place of residence was
named in both).
