  • St Marylebone Parish Church Records of Burials in the Crypt 1817-1853
    Record of Bodies Interred in the Crypt of St Marylebone Parish Church 1817-1853 This list of 863 names has been collated from the merger of two paper documents held in the parish office of St Marylebone Church in July 2011. The large vaulted crypt beneath St Marylebone Church was used as place of burial from 1817, the year the church was consecrated, until it was full in 1853, when the entrance to the crypt was bricked up. The first, most comprehensive document is a handwritten list of names, addresses, date of interment, ages and vault numbers, thought to be written in the latter half of the 20th century. This was copied from an earlier, original document, which is now held by London Metropolitan Archives and copies on microfilm at London Metropolitan and Westminster Archives. The second document is a typed list from undertakers Farebrother Funeral Services who removed the coffins from the crypt in 1980 and took them for reburial at Brookwood cemetery, Woking in Surrey. This list provides information taken from details on the coffin and states the name, date of death and age. Many of the coffins were unidentifiable and marked “unknown”. On others the date of death was illegible and only the year has been recorded. Brookwood cemetery records indicate that the reburials took place on 22nd October 1982. There is now a memorial stone to mark the area. Whilst merging the documents as much information as possible from both lists has been recorded. Additional information from the Farebrother Funeral Service lists, not on the original list, including date of death has been recorded in italics under date of interment.

  • Portman Square Garden London W1
    PORTMAN SQUARE GARDEN LONDON W1 EVENT GUIDE PSG Event Guide Revised 01.08.13 INTRODUCTION We are pleased to be able to assist you with your event enquiry and hope that the following information will provide a useful guide to ensure your event is a success. Portman Square is a private Garden square of approximately one hectare (2.47 acres) originally laid out circa 1780 and was completely re-landscaped in the early 1900’s which resulted in the form we see today with informal winding paths between the entrance gates and across the central lawn. There are many notable mature London Planes grown over varied trees and shrubs. Many of the Plane trees appear to date from 1780. Railings and gates were erected in 1882-1886; but the railings were removed in 1942 as part of the war effort. They were restored in 1972. The original gates remain, with some fine examples of overthrow lanterns and in 1985 a tennis court was built. A recent major rejuvenation of the Garden took place in 2005 which has dramatically improved the beauty of the Garden even further including vastly improved planted and lawn areas, new hard surface paths, new irrigation system, new play area, tree works, lighting and event power supply. The Garden provides an exclusive and tranquil environment nestled among trees, sculpted garden island beds and green lawn. It is ideally suited for the hosting of outdoor private garden events with very good transport links, whilst also providing rare exclusiveness and privacy only minutes away from the hustle of busy Oxford Street within the heart of Central London’s busy West End, a plan of the Garden can be provided on request.

  • Chapter 8: South of Cavendish Square
    DRAFT CHAPTER 8 South of Cavendish Square The short streets south of Cavendish Square were first built up in the 1720s– 40s as part of the early development of the Cavendish–Harley estate in and around the square. They have been repeatedly recast since, though a few original houses, some by James Gibbs, survived into the 1970s. Only Gibbs’s Oxford Chapel (now St Peter’s, Vere Street) remains from that early period; today offices and the undistinguished sides and backs of Oxford Street department stores predominate. St Peter’s, Vere Street The Oxford Chapel, known since 1832 as St Peter’s, Vere Street, was built in 1721–4 for the inhabitants of the new streets of houses then growing up around Cavendish Square. With the twentieth-century transformation of the area from residential to commercial, the building has ceased to function as a chapel but it retains a religious use as the home of the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity. Tucked away behind Oxford Street, dwarfed by department stores and offices, it is not only overshadowed but overlooked. It is, however, the earliest surviving building from the Cavendish–Harley estate and the sole survivor in anything like its original form of Marylebone’s several eighteenth-century proprietary chapels. The plasterwork is among the finest of its date in London. The inclusion of a chapel on John Prince’s plan for the estate, engraved in 1719, indicates that a place of worship was already then intended (see Ill. 8.2). This would prevent undue pressure on the rather distant parish church, Survey of London © Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/architecture/research/survey-london 1 DRAFT give anchorage to the new streets, and yield an income.

  • Chapter 11 456–556 Oxford Street and 1–7 Marble Arch Orchard Street to Edgware Road
    DRAFT Chapter 11 456–556 Oxford Street and 1–7 Marble Arch Orchard Street to Edgware Road This chapter covers the western extremity of Oxford Street’s northern frontage. It was originally built up from the late 1750s onwards on land owned by the Portman family, but today consists exclusively of multi-storey buildings erected from the 1930s onwards. The northern side of the street extends further west than its southern counterpart. The Oxford Street numbering stops at Great Cumberland Place, beyond which comes a final block looking over the open space in front of the Marble Arch and running up to the Edgware Road corner. That block now has the address 1–7 Marble Arch, but was originally numbered in Oxford Street, and so is included here. The chapter is divided into four main sections, running from east to west in correspondence with the blocks. The whole of the land behind this part of the frontage was known before development as the Home Barn Field. It was leased in 1755 by Henry William Portman to William Baker, who then sublet it in smaller parcels for building. Along Oxford Street the houses were smaller than the better properties of the Portman estate’s hinterland, comprising terraces, mostly of third-rate houses, which went up slowly from the mid 1750s. How many of these houses had shops or were in commercial use from the start is difficult to establish. There were certainly public houses, and some of the first leaseholders of the newly built houses suggest the presence of shops: a baker and a tobacconist were granted leases of houses in the stretch between Orchard Street and Portman Street in 1760.1 By the time that Tallis Survey of London © Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/architecture/research/survey-london 1 DRAFT produced his strip elevations in the 1830s, the only houses without shops on the ground floor were at the far western end, which, as if to distance itself from trade, had been renamed Hyde Park Place around 1820.

  • Portman Estate Conservation Area Audit
    PORTMAN 8 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION ESTATE Document Title: Portman Estate Conservation Area Audit Document Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Date: 27 March 2003 Document Id No.: 1127 Department of Planning and City Development, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6Q www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There area now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types. Given the number and complexity of Westminster’s conservation areas the appraisal process has been broken down into three stages, the first of which is complete.
