    Titus was the grandson of an Italian immigrant. His father became a member of the Salters’ Company and went into the soap trade, leasing ‘the best soaphouse in London’ in 1603. He had acquired a small estate in Hertfordshire by 1625, but more important was the house property off Holborn, which was reckoned to bring in £180 p.a.
