  • Local Architects
    LOCAL ARCHITECTS Little is known about the architects who built or lived in Barnes, Mortlake and East Sheen the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. With a few exceptions the following all lived in the nineteenth or twentieth centuries. Allom, Thomas (1804-1872) lived at 1 Barnes Villas (now 80 Lonsdale Road), Barnes and designed Holy Trinity Church, Castelnau, Barnes, consecrated in 1868. Today he is perhaps better known as an artist. Astley, John (1730-1787) lived in his last years at Elm Bank, Barnes Terrace. He was primarily a portrait painter but, amongst other architectural projects, designed the saloon and conservatory at St Ann’s Barnes. (see Barnes and Mortlake History Society Newsletter No. 33, May 1970) Atkinson, Robert, (1883-1952) bought Percy Lodge, Christ Church Road when it was threatened with demolition in the 1920s. He carefully restored the house and designed the Mall in the grounds. Beachcroft, Samuel (c1801-1861) was the architect for the major rebuilding and enlargement of Mortlake Parish Church in 1840, work which was later considered to be unsatisfactory. He had premises in Broad Street and Cadogan Square. Bell, Edward Ingress (1837-1914) designed two houses in East Sheen which still stand, Eastdale and Longfield, and others now demolished. Eastdale, now No. 1 Fife Road, which was considerably extended after 2000, stands between the two Blomfield houses, The Cottage and The Halsteads (see below). Longfield is at the end of Longfield Drive off Christ Church Road, backs onto East Sheen Common and is divided. The houses which have been demolished were Stonehill, the Grange and Hinxton House in Stonehill Road and Hindley Cottage, Christ Church Road.
