Excerpt from Survey of London, Vol. 4: Issued by the Joint Publishing Committee Representing the London County Council and the Committee for the Survey of the Memorials of Greater London; The Parish of Chelsea (Part II.) It is necessary to remind our readers again, that the historical and descriptive matter in the letterpress, is subservient to the more important drawings and photographs, which constitute the actual Survey. The number of these reproduced here form only a proportion of the actual collection in the hands of the Council. Considerable research has, however, been made into the history of the buildings themselves, and of such historic sites as those of Danvers House, Beaufort House (formerly the home of Sir Thomas More) and the Old Manor House. The work of the existing authorities has been brought up to date in the light of recent discoveries and an attempt has been made to interpret the information available, as definitely and concisely as possible.
