4. FULHAM.
(O.S. 6 in. London Sheet N.)
The borough of Fulham is conterminous with the
parish of the same name and lies on the N. bank of
the Thames between Chelsea and Hammersmith.
Fulham Palace is the principal monument.
Ecclesiastical
(1). Parish Church of All Saints stands on
the W. side of the approach to Putney Bridge.
The walls of the tower are of rubble with dressings
of lime-stone; the roof is covered with lead. With
the exception of the West Tower, which appears to
have been begun in the 14th-century, but was not
finished till c. 1440, the church was entirely rebuilt
in 1881.
Among the fittings the Flemish brass and some of
the monuments are noteworthy.
Architectural Description—The West Tower
(18½ ft. square) is of four stages, divided by moulded
string-courses, and has a moulded plinth and
embattled parapet. The tower arch is two-centred
and of two moulded orders, the outer continuous,
the inner carried on attached shafts with moulded
capitals and bases. In the S.W. angle is the original
entrance to the stair-turret with moulded jambs
and two-centred head. The W. doorway and window
are modern except the rear-arch, which appears to
be original. The second stage has in the N., S.
and W. walls a partly-restored square-headed
window of two trefoiled lights with a moulded label,
and the third stage has a segmental-headed window
of similar design in each face. The bell-chamber
has in each wall a partly-restored window of three
trefoiled lights with vertical tracery under a two-centred head with a moulded label.

(2). The Church of St. Andrew, at junction of
Greyhound Road and Normand Road, 1¼ m. N.
by E. of the Parish Church, is modern, but has one
bell by Thomas Bartlet, 1628, brought from the
church of St. Martin, Outwich.
(3). The Church of St. Dionis, Parsons Green,
1,000 yards N.E. of (1), is modern, but contains
the following fittings from the demolished church
of St. Dionis, Backchurch, Fenchurch Street.
Font (Plate 2): octagonal, of black and white
marble with upper part of bowl moulded, underside
carved with cable-ornament and acanthus leaves;
baluster-shaped stem with moulded cap and base
and lower part covered with four large acanthus
leaves, late 17th-century. Plate (Plate 4): includes a large flagon inscribed 1632, but without

(4). The Church of St. Etheldreda, Fulham
Palace Road, about ½ m. N.N.W. of (1), is modern,
but has in the bell-cote one bell by James Bartlet,
1679, brought from the church of St. Michael
Bassishaw in the City.
Secular
(5). Sandford Manor House, 1¼ m. N.E. of (1),
is of two storeys with attics and a cellar. The
walls are of brick, covered with modern stucco;
the roofs are partly tiled and partly covered with
slates. The house faces the E. and was built in
the latter half of the 17th century. It is rectangular
on plan with a small modern addition on the N.,
but has been considerably altered and is now
divided into two separate residences.
The oak staircase and panelled hall are good
examples of their period.
The front elevation has been much altered. It
is symmetrically designed and originally had
three gables but is now finished with a low
parapet. The two chimney-stacks have been
rebuilt, probably on the original design, and each
have diagonal projections at the angles and two
projecting pilasters on each front and stand on
rectangular bases. Inside the building the main
staircase rises from a central entrance-hall. The
walls of the hall are panelled and have a moulded
frieze and cornice. The staircase rises in short
flights round a central well to the top storey and
has richly moulded strings and handrail, square
newel-posts with moulded pendants and ballfinials, and turned balusters. The N.W. room
was originally panelled but the walls are now
covered with modern wall-paper.
Fulham Palace
Condition—Good, much altered.
(6). Fulham Palace, house, barn, garden-wall
and moat, stand N. of Putney Bridge. The House
is of two storeys; the walls are of brick, and the
roofs are tiled. The western of the two quadrangles was built by Richard Fitzjames, Bishop of
London (1506–22), and a N.W. wing of the same
date is said to have been taken down by Wren
c. 1715. In the 18th century the eastern quadrangle was added. Considerable alterations to the
earlier, and additions to the later, buildings were
carried out in 1813. The W. quadrangle is entered
through an archway in the middle of the N.W.
front, the 'Great Hall' being in the N. end of the
opposite range. The ranges contain various livingrooms and domestic offices, but the whole of the
internal plan has been much altered.
Elevations—The elevations are faced with old
red bricks but have considerable modern repairs,
and none of the windows, with the exception of
that over the entrance-archway to the hall, are
original. The walls of the quadrangle are completely
covered with diapering in black headers. The
N.W. Front is gabled at either end and has a central
gateway with moulded brick jambs and a four-centred arch. The doors are original and of two
trellis-framed leaves each divided on the front into
two tiers of five vertical panels by a horizontal rail
and hollow-chamfered ribs. The handle and lockplate are old and the doors are each hung on three
heavy strap-hinges; in one of the doors is a wicket.
With the exception of one towards the centre of
the range, the chimney-stacks are modern and the
existing windows are mostly of the 17th century,
with solid frames. The S.W. Front (Plate 63) has
towards the S.E. end three pointed gables with
original, but much weathered, cusped and traceried
barge-boards. Below the northernmost are two
slightly projecting pilasters and, at the first-floor
and eaves-levels, plain band-courses. There is one
original doorway with a four-centred head and
above a modern stone doorway a square moulded
panel, cusped and containing a shield with the
arms of a bishop under a moulded label. The
brickwork on either side of the gables is modern.
The N.E. Front is mostly hidden by modern
additions, but has one old chimney-stack with
angle pilasters and a capping formed by projecting
brick courses. The S.E. Front now forms the
N.W. side of the E. quadrangle and only a small
portion of the original brickwork is visible.
The old Quadrangle (Plate 64) has had the S.W.
side refaced with modern brickwork. Elsewhere
the windows are mainly of late 17th-century date,
with solid frames. The entrance-archway in the
middle of the N.W. side is similar to the corresponding one on the outer face of the same range,
the connecting passage having a modern flat ceiling.
Towards the S.W. end is a doorway with chamfered jambs and a square head and, at the N.E.
end, one which is partly blocked and partly filled
by a modern window. The S.W. side has a central
projecting porch which opens into the 'screens'
of the 'Great Hall.' It has diagonal buttresses at
the angles and is carried up above the level of the
eaves of the adjacent buildings and finishes in a
modern parapet carried on an original corbel-table
of small trefoiled arches; it is surmounted by
an 18th-century bell-turret. Above the modern
entrance-archway is a shallow projecting orielwindow, of six four-centred lights with a corbelled
and moulded sill and a moulded cornice. Over
the window, carved on a stone panel, is an
achievement of the arms of the See of London
impaling those of Bishop Juxon, surmounted by
a mitre and the date 1636. At the back and above
the panel is a blocked window. The hall has, on
this side, three late 17th-century windows with
solid frame, mullion and transom.
Interior—In the N.W. range is some exposed
timber-framing and some of the ceiling-beams are
exposed. A short flight of stairs on the first floor
near the E. angle of the quadrangle has two lengths
of early 16th-century handrail and there are a few
balusters with a handrail and a newel with a ball-finial of mid 17th-century date. On the landing is
a small early 17th-century door of six moulded
panels. Two rooms on the first floor at the S. end
of the S.W. range had the walls, until recently,
lined with linen-fold panelling. About 50 panels
have been removed from the southern room and
are now fixed in the vestry to the S. of the hall.
The other room still retains its panels, though not
as originally fixed. In this room is a stone panel,
probably from the centre of a stone overmantel,
carved with an achievement of the arms of the See
of London impaling those of Laud, with the initials
W.L. below. The Hall has a plain plaster ceiling;
at the N. end is a framed panel of c. 1700, with
carved frieze, pediment and carved scrolls at the
sides with swags of fruit. The screen, at the S. end,
has a central door-case incorporating carved
consoles, cornice and pediment of c. 1700. The
windows of the hall have a collection of ancient and
modern glass, mostly heraldic. On the N.W. side,
the second window has a number of 16th-century
quarries with the arms of the English Sees and
Universities. The third window has (a) Tudor royal
arms with crown and wreath, (b) Tudor royal
arms impaling the quartered coat of Katherine
Howard, (c) a dolphin for Fitzjames, (d) Savage,
(e) See of London impaling Savage, (f) Tunstall,
with motto, (g) design with three wheat-sheaves
and a monogram and date 1598, (h) large wheatsheaf, (i) monogram as in (g), etc., (j) Draycot,
(k) badge of two wings, (l) made-up shield, (m)
Or three bends azure and a border gules impaling
Fitzjames, In window in S.E. wall—(a) Tudor
royal arms, with crown and wreath, (b) a pelican
in her piety, (c) four quarries, each with a wheatsheaf, (d) Tunstall, (e) Kemp, probably modern,
(f and g) as (c), (h) as (d), (i) badge of two wings.
All the above are of 16th or 17th-century date
and much restored by Wailes in 1847.
In the Porteus Library the three windows on
the E. side contain a series of heraldic medallions,
formerly in the old chapel; in the first window
are (a) See of London impaling Laud; (b) See
of St. Davids and the Deanery of Gloucester,
both impaling Laud, (c and d) See of London, both
perhaps modern, (e) See of London impaling Savage,
(f) Kemp, with a wreath of roses, (g) See of London
impaling Fitzjames quartering Draycot, (h) See of
Oxford impaling Compton, (i) See of London impaling Compton, (j) See of Worcester impaling
Fletcher, (k) See of Bath and Wells impaling Laud,
(l) See of London impaling Compton. In the second
window—(a) France and England quarterly with
a label argent, a crown above, (b) See of London
impaling Bonner, (c) See of London impaling
Grindall, (d) See of London impaling Tunstall, with
a motto, (e) See of London impaling Aylmer, (f) See
of London impaling Fletcher, with the date 1595,
(g) See of London impaling Abbot, (h) See of
Bristol impaling Fletcher, with the date 15 . . .
(i) See of London impaling Montaigne, (j) See of
London impaling Laud, (k) See of London impaling
Juxon, (l) See of London impaling Compton. In
the third window—a red rose and a white and red
rose dimidiated. All the above are of 16th, 17th
or early 18th-century date.
The Chapel is modern but the Plate (Plate 4)
includes inscribed cup and cover, the cup with a
deep bowl, hexagonal stem with knot, and base
with concave sides and cherub-heads at points,
the cover surmounted by ball and cross, both
without date-letter but of Restoration period; inscribed stand-paten with shallow bowl and lid and
base similar to above, stem dated 1653; two
flagons, both with date 1653; alms-dish of 1670
with date 1671 stippled on base.
The Barn stands to the N. of the house and is
a large rectangular building, timber-framed and
weather-boarded with a tiled roof. It is of mid
17th-century date but has considerable modern
repairs; the W. end has been converted for use as
a house.
The N.W. Wall of the kitchen garden, which is
in the S. angle of the grounds, is of early 16th-century date from the foundations to a height of
from 2 to 3 ft. Towards the northern end is an
original brick archway with jambs and four-centred
head of four chamfered orders on the N.W., and
three on the S.E. side, with a moulded label.
Above the arch is a crow-stepped gable; in the
middle merlon is a square panel with a traceried
quatrefoil enclosing a much weathered shield carved
with the arms of the See of London impaling a
defaced coat, probably that of Fitzjames.
The Moat, which enclosed an irregular rectangular
site measuring about 1,300 ft. by 1,200 ft., has
been mostly filled in. It has been suggested that
this is the site of the camp occupied by the Danish
army in 870.
Condition—Of buildings, good. Good.
(7). Holland House, 110 yards E. of (1), is of
two storeys with attics; the walls are of brick and
the roofs are covered with slates. It was built in
the first half of the 17th century but much altered in
the 18th and 19th centuries and is of L-shaped plan
with the wings extending towards the S. and E.
The W. wall has been covered with cement and all
the doorways and windows have been renewed.
The N. and E. chimney-stacks are original and
have splayed offsets and grouped diagonal shafts;
the S. stack appears to have been rebuilt and is
rectangular with a moulded brick course at the
base of the shaft. Inside the building, in the ceilings
of both the ground and first floors are some original
moulded beams, and one room on the first floor
has a moulded cornice and plain moulded dado
with moulded rail of early 18th-century date.
In the attics are two ledged and moulded batten
doors of mid 17th-century date and an early
18th-century fireplace with moulded shelf and
bolection-moulded architrave.

bolection-moulded panelling with a cornice and
dado-rail. Another room has a panelled dado
and the two back rooms have original fireplaces
with bolection-moulded architraves and moulded
shelves; the doors are panelled with raised
mouldings.
Condition—Good.
(9). The Vineyard, house, on N. side of Hurlingham Road, 600 yards E.N.E. of (1), is of three
storeys with cellars; the walls are of brick; the
roofs are tiled. It was built early in the 17th
century and the original portion is L-shaped on
plan with the wings extending towards the N. and
E. It was altered in the 18th century, and
alterations and additions include the building of
a low W. wing and the raising of the main block
one storey. The front and side walls are cemented
and have plain bands at the floor-levels, a moulded
cornice and plain parapet. On either side and at
the back is an original brick chimney-stack,
the side stacks having three and the back stack
four detached shafts, two shafts in each case
being set diagonally; the upper parts of all the
shafts have been rebuilt. Inside the building, in
the ceilings of the front ground-floor rooms, the
main beams are exposed and chamfered. The E.
room is lined with moulded panelling and has
a moulded cornice and dado-rail and a fireplace
with bolection-moulded architrave and moulded
shelf, all of early 18th-century date; the cupboardrecess adjoining the fireplace is flanked by fluted
pilasters supporting a keyed archivolt, and has
shaped shelves. The W. room is lined with plain
panelling with a moulded cornice and has two
panelled doors and a bolection-moulded architrave
to the fireplace, and one room on the first floor is
also panelled and has a fireplace similar to the one

the windows have single moulded frames with
transoms and mullions and some of the original
casements remain. The doors and hoods are of
the 18th century. Inside the building, there are
some exposed beams in the ceilings of the ground-floor rooms. The staircase is original but much
multilated, and has a moulded string and handrail,
square newels and large twisted balusters, many of
which are missing. Below the stairs is a six-panelled
door formed of pieces of early 17th-century
panelling.

12/3 m. N. of the Parish Church. The houses are
of three storeys with attics; the walls are of brick
and the roofs are tiled. Originally built as one
house, the date 1714 on one of the rain-water
heads on the back of the building is probably the
year of erection, but the building has been altered
and added to both in the 18th century and more
recent years. The front of No. 111 has been
plastered and much altered, but on the N.W. elevation is an enriched modillioned eaves-cornice,
possibly refixed from elsewhere. No. 113 has
projecting brick bands at the floor-levels and
pilaster-shaped projections at the angles; the
windows on the front have brick key-blocks. On
the S. parapet at the back is a painted sundial and
the date 1723. Inside the buildings, No. 111 has
two rooms lined with early and later 17th-century
panelling refixed from elsewhere and a refixed
chimney-piece dated 1649. No. 113 has some
rooms lined with original panelling with wood
cornices; one room on the ground and one on the
first floor have fireplaces possibly of the same date,
and one fireplace on the ground-floor has been
refixed from elsewhere. The early 18th-century
staircase has a cut string with shaped brackets,
turned balusters, column-shaped newels and a
moulded handrail. Some of the panelled doors are
original.
The two wrought-iron entrance gates have rubbed
brick piers with stone cappings; the stone vase
surmounting the central pier is not in situ, but the
terminals to the other piers are original, though
surmounted by modern figures of cherubs.
In the garden of No. 113 is a one-storeyed,
timber-framed building with a tile roof and carved
barge-boards; the front tie-beam is carried on
brackets and dated 1625. The whole building has
been re-erected in its present position in recent
years.
Condition—Good.
