  • Old Chiswick Protection Society
    Old Chiswick Protection Society Autumn 2020 Newsletter Old Chiswick Protection Society exists to preserve and enhance the amenities of this riverside conservation area. Even the geese are social distancing! [Photograph: David Humphreys] Chairman’s Message As we look back at the last months, the Old Chiswick Conservation Area has become even more precious to many of us who live here, work here or visit. We have seen and spoken with visitors, previously unfamiliar with our environment and its atmosphere and history, who are enjoying it for the first time. Nature carries on here regardless, and our history continues to be relevant and vital to our future. We can't take anything for granted though. It is only with the support of our members' subscriptions and diligent work that we are here today and can be so proud of what has been achieved by the charity over the last 60 years. Old Chiswick could so easily have looked and felt very different: no Chiswick Eyot, with its unique withy beds and nature reserve; houses where Homefields Recreation Ground South is; an entirely different main road into and out of London, sacrificing more historical buildings; post-war housing instead of Georgian houses along Chiswick Mall. Our community has done much to help others this year, and we continue to build relationships with those like Asahi who are new to the area since taking over Fuller’s Brewery, and who have expressed a wish to become part of the community. We look forward to inviting you to join our AGM this year, which will of course be conducted on line, with the very latest advice on meetings.

  • 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.

  • Georgian Footsteps
    FREE IN GEORGIAN FOOTSTEPS Explore the lanes and paths of 18th century Chiswick Chiswick Parish lies on low land, in a loop of the Thames. The river was an important transport route for people and goods. The ancient Bath Road - today’s High Road - ran east-west across common land in the north, where Chiswick & Acton parishes met. A settlement grew up there, known as Turnham Green, with fashionable houses and mansions, and inns, blacksmiths and farriers to serve travellers. Burlington Lane linked the two riverside villages, Chiswick Town in the east and Strand on the Green to the west. It followed a route along slightly rising ground, probably to stay clear of the risk of flooding from the river. The big estates were The Grove, whose garden by the river was protected by a wall, Sutton Court, the manor house with its own farm and parkland, and Chiswick House. Bath Road Burlington Lane Hogarth’s House Chiswick House The Thames Detail from John Rocque’s Map of London and Environs, surveyed 1741-45, colours added John Donowell’s view, published in the 1750s, shows Lord Burlington’s new villa. It was built after a wing of the 17th century house was destroyed by fire in 1725. You can see what survived of the old house through the trees. Travelling left from this picture the lane crosses the stream which was dammed to create Burlington’s lake in the 1720s, with his Cascade alongside, as shown in this companion print.

  • Strand on the Green Conservation Area
    STRAND ON THE GREEN Boundary: See Map 18 Date of Designation: 07 November 1968 Date of Extension: 2001 Additional protection to the area: SPG (Feb 1997) saved with UDP (Dec 2003). A number of listed buildings, relationship with the River Thames: Thames riverside policies, Metropolitan Open Land, Nature Conservation Area; a number of strategic views into and out of the conservation area are described in the UDP. It also forms part of the setting and visual approach to Kew World Heritage Site. Special Architectural and/or Historic Interest Strand on the Green’s special interest lies in its use of and setting beside the waters edge, with fishermen’s cottages, boat builders’ sheds, public houses, maltings and larger and more elegant private houses added in the late 18th century. The conservation area also includes the various modest but attractively detailed Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing that has made use of the former access road to service and industrial buildings to the rear of the riverside plots, and developed on from there. The narrow alleyways and paths between the path and rear road are of great character in their tiny scale and detailed interest. The overall effect is one of picturesque charm, where a variety of individual buildings but of common interest and scale, with narrow lanes and alleys connecting the riverside with Thames Road add to the leisure value of the pub and restaurant destinations. History Strand on the Green is a small riverside ribbon development – note the consecutive numbering of buildings- of a village from the 18th and early 19th centuries.
