  • Graves of Artists and Architects Buried There
    Graves of architects and artists in the Chiswick Churchyard and Old Burial Ground A noteworthy feature of the burial ground associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick, is the remarkable number of graves of artists and architects buried there. This article records the graves of an important eighteenth-century architect and garden designer, a respected bricklayer and site manager, two well-regarded Victorian sculptors, and no fewer than six painters and printmakers. In comparison, I know of only one literary figure who was buried there: the maverick Italian poet and patriot, Ugo Foscolo (1778–1827). But perhaps he does not count, since his bones were exhumed in 1871 and returned to Italy for re-burial in Sta Croce, Florence. The churchyard harbours the tomb of only one theatrical figure, Charles Holland (1733–1769), but – as far as I am aware – of not one single composer. Two possible reasons for this bias in favour of the visual arts may be connected with two leading figures in the British eighteenth-century art world who were associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick. Lord Burlington (1694–1753) and William Hogarth (1697–1764) were close contemporaries, although they seldom if ever saw eye to eye. Lord Burlington was the architect of his ground- breaking Chiswick Villa, and he was also a celebrated aesthete and connoisseur. During highly profitable visits to Italy in the second decade, he amassed an important collection of Italian Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Chiswick Villa was designed in part specifically to display this collection, which enhanced Burlington’s status in the British art scene. His semi-permanent residence at Chiswick in the last 20 or so years of his life, and the inheritance of his estate by the Dukes of Devonshire from 1764, perhaps attracted other artists to the area, seeking aristocratic and royal patronage.

Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/historicalcollecOOphil : ' HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS RELATING TO CHISWICK EDITED BY W. P. W. PHILLIMORE AND W. H. WHITEAR. LONDON Phillimore & Co Essex Street, Strand. , 36, 1897. NOTE. THIS volume is an attempt to collect together in a handy form some historical information relating to the parish of Chiswick. It originated in some weekly contributions sent by the Editors to a local newspaper, the " Chiswick Times," during the years 1895 an^ 1896. This serves to explain the fact that the book is more a collection of essays than a systematic parochial history, though all the same it may be hoped that it will hereafter prove a useful groundwork to some one able and willing to compile a history worthy of the parish. Incomplete as the present work is, it will serve to direct attention to the many points of interest in the past history of Chiswick. Much still remains to be done, for as yet the public records have been but little drawn upon, and the reader must not think that we have at all exhausted the field of research which lies open to us. Some of the chapters are merely reprints from other works ; some are by one or other of the Editors ; for the chapter on Sutton Court the reader is indebted to Mr. W. M. Chute, and for the account of the prebendal manor to Mr.

  • Newsletter Winter 2009
    Old Chiswick Protection Society Christmas 2009 Newsletter The Society depends on the goodwill of its members and we are always encouraged by your feedback on possible conservation area projects. We hope you agree that using our funds to support the restoration of Hogarth’s tomb and to provide some funding, with others, for the tree planting alongside the Thames, makes good sense. We are a small Society and need more members as well as their support. Please mention the Society to friends and neighbours, and encourage them to join so that we will have more resources to apply. The Society is a member of the West London River Group, which helps to implement the Thames Strategy from Chelsea to Kew by examining all riverside development proposals and coordinating with other interest groups along the river. The Thames Strategy is part of the London Plan supported by the Mayor. Our relationship with the Port of London Authority and others such as Thames 21 is integral to helping maintain the riverside and river aspects for future generations. Outside of the conservation area, I think most of us have been impressed by the work undertaken by Friends of Dukes Meadows, who are building the new play area. This is due to be finished by spring 2010. A wildflower meadow on the plateau is also being planted. For many years, the Society had enjoyed the support of Fuller’s. Fuller’s is proud to play an active role in the community around the Brewery in Chiswick and supports a number of local charities including Friends of Chiswick House, Old Chiswick Protection Society and Chiswick Pier.

    Maggie Urquhart : Tel 020 8583 4941 e-mail: [email protected] Chiswick Area Committee (Planning) 12 January 2006 Report: Conservation Area Character Appraisals 1.0 CONTENTS and PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 This report sets out the policy background to conservation area character appraisals. It identifies the existing and future need for appraisals and the way in which they will fit into the new planning system. The report also highlights the current and future procedures required for conservation area management, and the relationship of appraisals within them. 1.2 The document attached comprises three parts. The Introduction is standard and describes the background to conservation area designation in general terms, and for L B Hounslow as a whole. 1.3 The second part is a group of documents comprising an individual character appraisal for each of the ten conservation areas that lie all or partly within Chiswick Area Planning Committee’s area. 1.4 The individual character appraisal for each conservation area is provided in accordance with the intention identified in UDP policy Env-B.2, 4.15. Their content and format are described in more detail in section 6 of this report. 1.5 The third part is again general, being an explanation of the approach that should be taken to work on buildings in conservation areas. This is proposed as the basis for a general management framework, and which is to be extended to cover aspects of work in more detail. 1.6 This material is brought to the committee for information and commentary, and also for approval to present it to Sustainable Development Committee, for authorisation to undertake public consultation.

This section considers each of the character reaches in turn and examines how the historical development of each character reach has helped to determine its visual and cultural associations. The key issues and opportunities for enhancement of the River and riverside environment are highlighted in each character reach. This division of the River into sections and also the chosen boundaries between sections are artificial - the River is, of course, one and the sections merge into each other - but it provides a useful study tool. 4.2 Part 4 : Character Reach No.1 CHARACTER REACH NO.1 : KEW AND STRAND ON THE GREEN River Chart Name: Mortlake Reach Strand on the Green and Kew Railway Bridge 4.3 Thames Strategy - Kew to Chelsea Key Characteristics This character reach marks the start of the study Grove Park Duke’s Meadow Kew Riverside area and the gateway to the Royal Botanic Key Railway Hartington Wooded Kew Public Chiswick Mortlake Gardens in Kew.

Recommend to the Sustainable Development Committee that the Draft Supplementary Planning Guidance should be published for consultation purposes. [email protected] 2.0 Background 2.1 Supplementary Planning Guidance on Sustainable Mobile Telecommunication Development was requested by the Sustainable Development Committee to provide detailed advice on the implementation of Policy ENV-B.1.7 (Telecommunications) of the Revised Deposit Proposed Modifications UDP (January 2003). 2.2 This request followed the publication of Planning Policy Guidance Note 8 (PPG8) – the key government guidance on telecommunication development planning. 2.3 Government Guidance (PPG12 Development Plans) allows local planning authorities to prepare supplementary planning guidance to provide detailed guidance as to how Unitary Development Plan Policies will be applied in particular circumstances. 2.4 Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) is non-statutory guidance but it may be taken into account as a material consideration when considering development applications. The weight accorded to it is increased if it has been prepared in consultation with the public and has been the subject of a Council resolution. 2.5 In November 2002 the Government published a Code of Best Practice on Mobile Phone Network Development.
