Budle is probably an alternative form of Buddle, but, if this is not the case, the craftsmen were very likely inter-related. Richard II lived at ‘Wood Street, nr St John's Church, Westmr’, about 1740 when he was working for ‘Mr [Thomas] Dunn’ and Mortimer lists a mason of the same name, in ‘the Strand, opposite Surry-Street’, in 1763. George I was working for ‘Mr Chair’ (Sir Henry Cheere) about 1740 and George II was made free of the Masons’ Company on 5 October 1775.
