  • 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.

  • “He Hath Mingled with the Ungodly”
    ―HE HATH MINGLED WITH THE UNGODLY‖: THE LIFE OF SIMEON SOLOMON AFTER 1873, WITH A SURVEY OF THE EXTANT WORKS CAROLYN CONROY TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I PH.D. THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART DECEMBER 2009 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the life and work of the marginalized British Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic homosexual Jewish painter Simeon Solomon (1840-1905) after 1873.This year was fundamental in the artist‘s professional and personal life, because it is the year that he was arrested for attempted sodomy charges in London. The popular view that has been disseminated by the early historiography of Solomon, since before and after his death in 1905, has been to claim that, after this date, the artist led a life that was worthless, both personally and artistically. It has also asserted that this situation was self-inflicted, and that, despite the consistent efforts of his family and friends to return him to the conventions of Victorian middle-class life, he resisted, and that, this resistant was evidence of his ‗deviancy‘. Indeed, for over sixty years, the overall effect of this early historiography has been to defame the character of Solomon and reduce his importance within the Aesthetic movement and the second wave of Pre-Raphaelitism. It has also had the effect of relegating the work that he produced after 1873 to either virtual obscurity or critical censure. In fact, it is only recently that a revival of interest in the artist has gained momentum, although the latter part of his life from 1873 has still remained under- researched and unrecorded.

    Central Activities Zone Shopping Area 10: Charlotte Street/Fitzrovia Shopping Area Health Check Survey August 2002 £30 INTRODUCTION Purpose of the Study i) The Government advises local authorities to base their development plans and policies on assessments of their retail centres, as set out in guidance contained within Planning Policy Guidance Note 6 (PPG6 revised) June 1996. Local authorities are advised to monitor the health of their shopping centres and to regularly collect information on key indicators. Westminster carried out health checks in 1997. A list of indicators is set out in Figure 1 (PPG6, paragraph 2.7). ii) The City of Westminster is in the process of reviewing the Westminster Unitary Development Plan Adopted 1997 (UDP). As part of this review, the Council has commissioned a study of retail centres in Westminster that includes the production of new, or updates of previous, health check surveys of shopping areas in the City. This report sets out the findings of a health check survey of Charlotte Street/Fitzrovia. Health Checks in Westminster iii) The City of Westminster is divided into two zones in terms of retail policy, the Central Activities Zone (CAZ) and CAZ Frontages; and areas outside the CAZ. The CAZ contains the two international centres in London; the West End and Knightsbridge; other shopping areas such as Victoria Street, as well as numerous small parades and individual shops. Outside the CAZ there are 7 District Centres and 39 Local Centres designated in the Revised (Second) Deposit UDP. For the purposes of this study the CAZ has been divided into 17 shopping areas (4 primary areas1 and 13 other areas in the CAZ).

  • Mortimer Street
    DRAFT CHAPTER 26 Mortimer Street In its original form, as shown on John Prince’s 1719 plan for the Cavendish– Harley estate, Mortimer Street extended from Cavendish Square to Wells Street. Taking its name from the Earl of Oxford’s second title Earl Mortimer, the street was built up from the mid 1730s, following the demolition of the Boarded House, which stood close to its path near the junction with Wells Street (see page ###). The smarter Cavendish Square end, cut off by the creation of Regent Street, was renamed Cavendish Place in 1859 and is separately discussed on page ###. Beyond Wells Street, the eastern portion of present-day Mortimer Street was originally developed as Charles Street, part of the Berners estate, and named after the landowner William Berners’s son and heir. The Middlesex Hospital was built there in 1755–7, house-building following on from 1759. This somewhat lowly street was almost entirely merged with Mortimer Street in 1879 – a very short section east of Cleveland Street, in St Pancras parish, became part of Goodge Street at the same time. Besides shifting Mortimer Street’s identity, these changes of name involved general renumbering of the houses, so that confusion over nineteenth-century addresses easily arises. The short side-street Nassau Street, also described in this chapter, was laid out in the 1760s as part of the Berners estate development, under the name Suffolk Street. Development of the central section of Mortimer Street was mostly undertaken by three individuals responsible for much building in south-east Marylebone – the digger and brickmaker Thomas Huddle, carpenter John Survey of London © Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/architecture/research/survey-london 1 DRAFT Lane, and plasterer William Wilton.

  • Bolsover Street to Cleveland Street
    DRAFT CHAPTER 24 Bolsover Street to Cleveland Street The sense of backwater permeating the district between Great Portland Street and Cleveland Street is strongest north of New Cavendish Street. This area, a rough triangle truncated at the north end where it meets Euston Road, is the subject of this chapter. There are two major excisions: existing buildings in the northern part of Great Titchfield Street are dealt together with the rest of the street in Chapter 23, while the north side of New Cavendish Street east of Great Portland Street is covered in Chapter 25, except for the University of Westminster buildings, which are described in Chapter 32. The buildings hereabouts are thoroughly mixed in scale, genre and social level, and also in age, the few remnants of the original Georgian development being mainly confined to Cleveland Street, where they include a terrace of the 1790s at Nos 139–151. They range from workshops to offices, hotels and educational establishments; among housing types are examples of the artisan flats which replaced terrace houses in this sector of the Portland– Howard de Walden estate after 1890, some hostels or halls of residence, notably in Bolsover Street; and the remarkable Holcroft Court of 1968–71, south-east Marylebone’s sole public housing estate. Holcroft Court takes up a complete street block, as do some other of its neighbours of similar date, notably the Holiday Inn facing Carburton Street, and Collingwood House between New Cavendish Street and Clipstone Street (page ###). Lacking any firm topographical identity, streets in this district were formerly associated for the purposes of address typically with Portland Road or Great Portland Street; or else with Fitzroy Square, beyond the Marylebone Survey of London © Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/architecture/research/survey-london 1 DRAFT boundary along Cleveland Street in St Pancras.
