In June 1523 More bought the "very large and beautiful" [[Crosby Place]] (Crosby Hall) in [[Bishopsgate]], London, but this was not a simple transaction: eight months later he sold the property (never having lived there) at a considerable profit to his friend and business partner [[Antonio Bonvisi]] who, in turn, leased it back to More's son-in-law William Roper and nephew [[William Rastell]]; possibly this was an agreed means of dealing with a debt between More and Bonvisi. Because of this the Crown did not confiscate the property after More's execution.<ref>Ackroyd (1999) pp. 234–5</ref><ref name= Weinreb>{{cite book |last1=Weinreb |first1=Ben |last2=Hibbert |first2=Christopher |author1-link=Ben Weinreb |author2-link=Christopher Hibbert |title=[[The London Encyclopædia]] |date=1983 |publisher=Macmillan |location=London |isbn=0-333-57688-8 |pages=219–220 |edition=1993 |chapter=Crosby Hall}}</ref><ref group=note>{{cite book |last1=Norman |first1=Philip |last2=Caroe |first2=W.
