MARGARET FINCH

(Queen of the Gypsies at Norwood),

GEORGE II.] REMARKABLE PERSONS. 247

MARGARET FINCH

QUEEN OF THE GIPSIES.

THE environs of London, and parts adjacent, have
been pestered with gipsies for upwards of a century
past; but Surry and Kent have been more inconve-
nienced and plundered than any other counties
throughout the kingdom. The neighbourhood of
Norwood and Shooters-hill appear, with this class
of society, to have been privileged places; where un-
molested they presumed to abide, with no laws to
regulate their conduct, but such as they made for
themselves, or approved of. Until within these few
years Norwood was their court and head-quarters;
and here they assembled from all parts, to render
obeisance and homage to their reigning sovereign.
Like the Egyptians of old, they are not governed
by the law Salique, and still continue faithfully to
observe the mandates of their modern Cleopatras.
The most remarkable was Margaret Finch, born at
Sutton, in Kent; who, after traversing the whole

of England, in the double capacity of gypsie and
thief, finally fixed her place of residence at Norwood.
