Map title:
'Plan of the parish of St Mary Kensington, including Old and New Brompton, and the North Side of Little Chelsea also shewing Kensington Palace, Gardens and part of Hyde Park. Reduced from actual survey completed in the year 1822, by Messrs Bassett, Christian & Hodskinson.' [sic]
Comments on map:
Recorded from London Topographical Society reissue, 1934, which seems to have been taken from a coloured original. Scale assumed to be 1:3960: dimensions compensated. Northern continuation (north of Uxbridge Road, later A.40) is at 1:15,840; all fairly open farmland, in contrast to parks, etc of southern part of parish (including part of Hyde Park, outside the parish): cartographic semi-visibility? Notes on statistics and manorial tenure below title: 'N.B. The Publishers regret their inability to ascertain the Copyhold Lands in the Manor of St. Mary Abbots, with any accuracy. They have therefore deemed it more advisable to omit them altogether.' Accent seems more genteel rural than suburban.
