​RAVENSCROFT, John, one of the Tower Hamlets waits, and violinist at Goodman's Fields Theatre, was noted for his skill in the composition of hornpipes, a collection of which he published. Two of them are printed in Hawkins's History. He died about 1740. [App. p.767 "a set of sonatas in three parts (two violins and violone or arch-lute) by him, were printed at Rome in 1695."]
