Denmark Hill is said to have acquired its name
from Queen Anne‘s husband, Prince George of
Denmark, who hunted there.
(ref. 42)
No example of the name Herne Hill has been found earlier than
1789.
(ref. 43)
The greater part of the land on the west
side of the roads now known as Denmark Hill
and Herne Hill was bought in 1783
(ref. 15)
by Samuel
Sanders, a wealthy timber merchant whose will
contained bequests of over £100,000.
(ref. 44)
Shortly
afterwards he built himself a large house at Denmark Hill,
(ref. 45)
and began to grant long leases of the
land fronting the road. By 1843 an almost unbroken line of large houses stretched from St.
Matthew's Church, Denmark Hill, to the south
end of Herne Hill.
(ref. 44)
Only three of them survive
in a recognizable form.
Formerly Nos. 156–160 (even) Denmark Hill, in 1875
No. 158 was called The Elms, and in 1938 Pentamar.
These three houses, which are now occupied
by King‘s College Hospital, are important examples of late 18th century suburban development; they are illustrated in Plates 52, 53 and
54, and
fig. 47. Details are shown in Plate 69c and figs.
48 and 49. No.150 was erected in 1785–6, and
No. 152 in 1787–8;
(ref. 47)
the first occupier of No.
152 was John Christian Schreiber, a wealthy merchant engaged in the Hamburg trade,
(ref. 48)
whose
offices were in Budge Row, Cannon Street;
(ref. 49)
after his death his widow Louisa continued to live
there until 1816.
(ref. 50)
No. 154, which is perhaps the
finest house in the area reviewed in this volume,
was built in 1785–6,
(ref. 47)
and was designed by
William Blackburn
(ref. 45)
(1750–90), a native of
Southwark and architect of the Unitarian Chapel,
Lewin's Mead, Bristol, and of a number of
prisons.
(ref. 51)
It was first occupied by Edward Henshaw,
a linen draper in Southwark,
(ref. 52)
and later by
Richard Lawrence, who may perhaps be identified
with Richard Lawrence, broker, of Throgmorton
Street.
(ref. 53)
No. 150 Denmark Hill is a house of three
storeys, raised on a semi-basement and flanked on
the south by a large addition of two lofty storeys
with an angular bay projecting from the front.
The original portion of the house has a stock
brick front of simple design, its two stages defined
by the wide bandcourse above the semi-basement,
the sill-band below the first-floor windows, and the
crowning mutule cornice with its blocking course.
The first stage contains the doorway, flanked by
one window on the left and two on the right.
The upper stage has two tiers of four evenly
spaced windows, corresponding to the ground-floor
openings. All the windows are rectangular
and without architraves, their heights being proportionate to the three storeys. The wooden
doorcase is of unusual and interesting design, the
six-panelled door being flanked by attenuated
Doric columns that support an architrave, its
outer fascia being returned down each side. Above
is a frieze panel with a Flaxmanesque relief of
classical figures, and the cornice is returned on
each side round scroll-shaped brackets that rise
from pilasters to support an open segmental
pediment-hood (Plate 69c).
No. 152 Denmark Hill consists of a central
block of three storeys, flanked by narrow wings
each originally of one storey, the whole being
raised on a semi-basement. The stock brick
front has many points of similarity to that of
No.150, the central block having four windows
to each storey and the wings two. Again there
is a basement bandcourse, a first-floor sill-band,
and a crowning mutule cornice. The coarsely
detailed entrance porch, placed left of the centre,
is certainly a later addition and fronts an arch-headed
headed doorway, but the elegant wrought iron
balustrade of the double stair approach is probably
original. The right-hand Wing has been heightened by one storey, and each wing bears in the
centre of its parapet an ornamental vase. The
garden front is remarkable for its fine verandah
in the Chinese taste (fig. 48b) and the interior still
retains some fine decorative features in the refined
Grecian style of the period.
No. 154 Denmark Hill is a detached villa
consisting of a three-storeyed central block flanked
by two-storeyed wings, that to the south having
been demolished, the whole raised on a semibasement.
Before maltreatment, the front towards Denmark
Hill was a design of great charm and distinction, carried out in stock brick with stone dressings.
The three-storeyed centre projects slightly
forward from the two-storeyed wings and its
ground storey has a wooden portico-verandah of
three bays, approached by stone steps at each end.
The four equally spaced columns have stone
pedestals and bases, slender wooden shafts, and
composed capitals of Ionic derivation. The
delicately moulded entablature has a frieze decoration of husk-festoons linking vases and paterae
The stucco-faced wall behind the colonnade has
pilasters responding to the columns and in each
bay is a tall rectangular opening, respectively a
door and two windows. The three tall rectangular windows of the first floor, and the three almost
square windows of the second floor are equally
spaced in the brick wall face, without architraves
but underlined by narrow sill-bands. Above is a
triangular pediment with a mutule cornice and
a plain brick tympanum. The brick face of the
surviving wing has a slightly recessed centre, containing
on the ground storey a tall rectangular
window dressed in wood with Doric pilasters and
a triangular pediment. The sill-band continues
below the plain first-floor window, and the
crowning cornice is moulded. The cast-iron
balustrade to the verandah is probably Victorian.
Inside, the house has been considerably altered,
but some of the original decorative features
remain. Most noteworthy is the staircase, of
charming form and design, its iron balustrade of
vase-profile standards supporting a mahogany
handrail with the newel terminals inlaid with
ebony stars (fig. 49). Some of the rooms retain
their plaster cornices and chimneypieces of wood
and composition.
Formerly No. 180 Denmark Hill
South of No. 154 the only survivor of the
original houses is No. 164, a two-storey house
which has been refaced but retains its original
Greek Doric porch.
When John Ruskin was four years old his
parents went to live at Herne Hill and later
moved to Denmark Hill. Ruskin's account of
his childhood there goes far to explain the urge
which seized so many wealthy Londoners to
move out into the country in the early 19th century (see page 11). In 1823 Ruskin's father took a
long lease of a semi-detached house at Herne
Hill.
(ref. 54)
The house was later numbered 28 and
was demolished in or shortly before 1923. Its
site is now occupied by Nos. 26 and 28 Herne
Hill, and a tablet commemorating John Ruskin's
association with the place stands in the garden of
No. 28. In 1842 the Ruskin family moved to a
larger detached house at Denmark Hill, whose
site—for it too has been demolished—was in the
parish of Lambeth but is now in the borough of
Camberwell, and is occupied by a block of flats.
This house remained Ruskin's home until 1871.
In the latter part of his life a cousin lived at 28
Herne Hill, and John Ruskin frequently stayed
there.
(ref. 54)
Eight of the original houses facing Denmark
Hill were demolished for the formation of Ruskin
Park. There are photographs of all of them in
the Photographic Library of the London County Council.
No. 162 was 18th century house which
in size, general form and some details, closely
resembled No. 152. The body of the house contained a basement and three storeys, and was
flanked by narrow one-storey wings. The stock
brick front was three windows wide with the
doorway on the left, while each wing contained a
single window. All the windows were rectangular
and without architraves, their heights being proportionate to the three storeys. There was a
plinth-band to the ground storey, a sill-band to the
first-floor windows, and a crowning mutule
cornice with a blocking course, while each wing
had a parapet with an open balustrade of equal
width to the window below. The chief ornamental feature was the Coade-stone surround to
the arch-headed doorway, consisting of vermiculated
rustic-blocks and a mask-keystone, the door
being flanked by side-lights and surmounted by a
finely detailed radial fanlight.
Nos. 164 and 166 were detached houses of late
heavy Victorian design, very similar and of small
interest.
No. 168 was a large detached house of late
18th century date, with a wide-fronted centre
of three storeys and one-storey wings fronted by
colonnades of three bays. The stock brick front
was a balanced design in which paired windows
flanked the central porch and an elaborated first-floor
window, the windows generally being rectangular and without architraves, their heights
proportioned to the three storeys. There was a
continued sill-band to the first-floor windows and
a crowning mutule cornice with a blocking
course. The wide entrance porch had two pairs
of slender columns, with water-leaf capitals, supporting a triglyphed entablature. Single columns
of the same design were used for the wing colonnades where the entablature was surmounted by
a balustrade. The middle first-floor window, set
in a wide segmental-headed opening, was divided
into three lights by attenuated columns supporting
an entablature and a lunette adorned with an
outer ring of fan ornament. The garden front,
to which considerable additions had been made,
was faced with stucco and adorned at ground-floor
level by a long verandah of “Gothic”
design.
No. 170 was nearly identical to No. 168.
The columns of the porch, however, were
more widely spaced and the doorway was arch-headed,
while the entablature of the central
first-floor window was replaced by a simple
transom. The ground storey of the garden front
projected from the body of the house, having
at its centre a recessed portico.
No. 172 was again similar to No. 168, the
variations here being chiefly confined to the
design of the porch which had single Doric
columns supporting a plain entablature, while the
mutules of the crowning cornice were spaced at
very wide intervals. This house also had plain
single-storey wings.
No. 174 was a late Georgian house with a
plain stucco-faced front. The central portion,
three storeys high and three windows wide, was
flanked on the right by a segmental bow of the
same height, and on the left by a wing of two
lofty storeys, two windows wide. The ground-storey
windows in the central portion and bow
were arch-headed and set in recesses, while a
cumbrous porch projected on the left of the bow.
The simply moulded crowning cornice was surmounted by a blocking course. The garden front,
of stock brick, was of no architectural interest.
No. 176, another late Georgian house, had a
wide front of two storeys, faced with stucco. The
pedimented central feature, three windows wide,
was flanked by unequal wings, the left being one
window wide and the right two. A Doric porch
projected from the central feature. On the garden
front both wings projected well forward from the
pedimented centre.
No. 18 Herne Hill was demolished shortly
after the war of 1939–45. It was a large detached house with a stucco-faced front of Regency Greek design. The central block, three
storeys high, was flanked by single-storey wings.
The projecting ground storey consisted of a Doric
porch centred between flanking faces each containing a single window, framed by an eared
architrave, the whole finished with an entablature
having a frieze decorated at wide intervals with
wreaths. Each upper storey had three widely-spaced
windows framed by architraves, the middle
first-floor window having in addition a cornice
resting on scroll consoles. The crowning cornice
was surmounted by a blocking course.
In the absence of contrary evidence, it is suggested that William Blackburn might well have
designed Nos. 168, 170 and 172, Denmark Hill,
for details in their elevations can be matched in
Blackburn‘s authenticated works. For example,
the three-light window treatment occurs in his
Unitarian Chapel at Lewin‘s Mead, Bristol,
while the attenuated Delicacy of the porches
recalls the portico at No. 154 Denmark Hill.
In 1792 many of the inhabitants of the Camberwell
Green area “found it very difficult or
impracticable to procure Seats or accommodation
to attend Divine Service in the Parish Church of
Camberwell”;
(ref. 55)
they therefore decided to build a
proprietary chapel. A committee was elected
and in 1794 Claude (later Sir Claude) Champion
de Crespigny granted a 99 year lease of the site
now occupied by St. Matthew's; the land formed
part of four acres which de Crespigny had bought
from William Man Godschall in 1783. The
chapel accommodated 750 people and was built
between 1792 and 1794, the cost being met by
twenty to thirty subscriptions of between £100
and £150 each. Each subscriber was entitled to a
pew for six persons; part of the remaining accommodation was allotted to the use of the poor.
(ref. 55)
In 1814 a surveyor reported that the chapel
required “very considerable repair & that the
roof was in danger of falling in”.
(ref. 55)
After several
of the subscribing proprietors had refused to contribute towards the cost, a majority of them
apparently bought the shares of the more reluctant
minority at £30 each. The repairs were then
presumably carried out for the chapel continued
in use until 1846. By that time the chapel was
inadequate for the needs of the growing population of the neighbourhood, and there were 250
applications for sittings which could not be provided. In 1848 both the freehold and the leasehold interests were freely conveyed to the Church
Building Commissioners. The chapel was rebuilt at a cost of £6,547 (excluding the tower and
spire) and was consecrated on July 15, 1848,
A. D. Gough being the architect (Plate 14b).
An Ecclesiastical District was assigned shortly
afterwards.
(ref. 55)
The tower and spire were completed by 1858.
(ref. 56)
The building was destroyed
by enemy action in 1940.
This church, of which only the steeple and
part of the east end remain, was a Victorian
Gothic building of ragstone with Bath stone
dressings. The design had one unusual and
ingenious feature, for while the east end presented
in effect a five-sided apse with a narrow ambulatory, the latter formed in fact a pair of entrance
passages leading left and right from the high
gabled entrance arch. The elongated windows of
the apse clerestory were surmounted by elaborate
hoods and placed between thin buttresses with
crocketed pinnacles. The tall and slender steeple,
standing against the north side of the church, has
a French flamboyant character and consists of a
two-stage square tower surmounted by an octangular spire.
These houses stand on a small piece of land
which formerly belonged to the de Crespigny
family; they were erected between 1810 and
1824.
(ref. 37)
They form two plain pairs of semidetached houses, built in stock brick, of three
storeys with semi-basements. Their entrance
wings, set back slightly at the sides, are a storey
less in height. The ground-floor windows are
recessed in round-headed arches linked by plain
imposts. Each entrance has fluted pilasters, a
mutule transom and a simple fanlight of circular
pattern. No. 142, now serving as a temporary
church for St. Matthew's parish, has a later ground
floor bay window.
In 1802 a small Baptist chapel was erected at
the junction of Coldharbour Lane and Denmark
Hill.
(ref. 57)
By 1823 the congregation had almost
dwindled away, but under the leadership of a new
minister, Dr. Edward Steane, its fortunes revived
so quickly that a larger building was needed.
(ref. 58)
The present church, which was designed by Mr.
Burrell
(fn. a)
and built by Mr. Humphries, cost
£3,700, and was opened on June 29, 1825.
(ref. 57)
Side galleries were added in 1832, and further
alterations were made in 1869.
(ref. 59)
The church is a plain stock brick building, and
has a front with three round arches supporting a
pediment. The arches have keystones, the centre
one being incised “A.D. 1823”, probably in
commemoration of the renewal of the chapel by
Dr. Steane. There are four entrances, each of
which has a segmental or triangular pediment
borne on consoles.
Formerly Nos. 3 and 4 Adelphi Place
These houses stand on a piece of freehold land
formerly in the possession of Susannah Vaughan,
and are the survivors of Adelphi Place, a row
which was probably erected between 1830 and
1834.
(ref. 60)
The easternmost house, which was
numbered 119 and was formerly known as White
Cottages, was a detached two-storey stucco villa.
It has now been demolished, but is illustrated in
a supplement to The Architect and Building News
of December 2, 1932. Nos.125 and 127 are a
pair of houses now very much mutilated. Built
of stock brick with slated mansard roofs they are
three storeys high with a semi-basement, and an
attic in the roof. The party wall is marked by a
recession in the wall face and each house is one
window wide, the entrance being at the side.
The windows are square-headed, there is a sill
band at first-floor level and the simple cornice is
finished with a blocking course. On the side
elevation of No.125 a semi-circular patterned
fanlight of a former front door remains.
Nos. 121 and 123 were probably similar.
The decline of Denmark Hill and Herne Hill
as wealthy residential areas began in the 1860s
when the railways invaded the neighbourhood.
Herne Hill became the junction of the two arms
of the Metropolitan Extensions of the London,
Chatham and Dover Company. The whole
scheme, of which Herne Hill Station. (Plate 39a)
forms part, was completed in 1863, Cubitt and
Turner being the engineers, and Peto and Betts
the general contractors. In 1866 a loop line
connecting Victoria and London Bridge Stations
was built through Denmark Hill. With quick
and cheap access to London, large numbers of
small houses were soon afterwards built in the
neighbourhood.
This chapel, whose foundation stone was laid
in 1860, is a plain building built in grey brick
with stone dressings and designed in quasi-Norman
style. It has long lancet windows at the sides and
a large wheel window set in the north front.
There are vigorously carved foliated pilasters
flanking this window and at the corners of the
building, and machicolations to the north gable
and the eaves as well as to the tower. The latter,
built some years after the rest of the chapel, is
sited at the north-west corner and is capped by a
sharply-pitched chisel-type slated roof. The main
roof, also of slate, is punctuated by ventilating
dormers. There is a small entrance porch in the
centre of the north front. The chapel is used for
storage purposes at the present.
In 1864 a temporary church to serve this
neighbourhood was erected on the north side of
Coldharbour Lane. Shortly afterwards the Ecclesiastical Commissioners offered a site for a permanent
church at the corner of Coldharbour Lane
and Flaxman Road, but the plans drawn up by the
local church building committee were rejected by
the Commissioners. Owing to lack of money
the whole project was abandoned. In 1865
James Lewis Minet offered to present an acre of
ground in Herne Hill Road and fifty pounds towards the cost of building a church there. In
1866 the land was freely given to the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners, who contributed £500 to the
building fund. The foundation stone was laid
by Melicent, wife of William Henry Stone, M.P.,
on June 29, 1866. The church accommodated
938 people and was consecrated by the Bishop of
Winchester on June 25, 1867. The architect
was A. D. Gough,
(ref. 61)
the chancel and south
transept being added later to the designs of W.
Gibbs Bartleet (Plate 15a).
(ref. 62)
St. Saviour's is an uncouth Victorian building
of ragstone dressed with Bath stone. The aisled
nave of four bays, a hybrid design with late
Norman and Early English characteristics, is the
earlier portion to which were added double
transepts and an apsidal-ended chancel, more consistently Gothic in style with Geometrical and
plate tracery in the windows. The tower at the
north-west corner has five offset stages, the topmost being arcaded and surmounted by a pyramid
roof, and there is a tall round pinnacle at the
north-west angle. The interior calls for little
comment-the nave arches are Norman in style,
there is no chancel arch, and the windows of the
eastern apse have two lights with a six-foil above.
This school was built in 1868, shortly after
the completion of St. Saviour's Church. The cost
was £1,550 of which £1,062 was raised by
local voluntary contributions.
(ref. 39)
The school was
enlarged in 1892.
(ref. 63)
It occupies a stock brick
building designed in the Gothic style.
In 1901 the Lambeth Borough Librarian,
F. J. Burgoyne, applied to Andrew Carnegie for
financial help to build a library in the Herne Hill
area and so complete the library system of the
borough. In the following year Carnegie promised
to grant £12,500.
(ref. 64)
A site was then acquired
and H. Wakeford and Sons were appointed
architects.
(ref. 65)
A tender for £11,316 from Messrs.
Holliday and Greenwood was accepted,
(ref. 64)
and
the library was opened by Lady Durning Lawrence
on July 9, 1906.
(ref. 66)
The library consists of an imposing formal
group of buildings of two and three storeys
designed in free Renaissance style. It stands on a
sloping site and is built of red brick, brown
unglazed terracotta also being used extensively
as a facing material. The central entrance is
slightly set forward and has a broken pediment
and gable above. The pavilion ends, which are
similarly detailed, are flanked by coupled Ionic
columns. The three-storeyed wings each have
two pedimented gables and their entrances are
hooded. All the roofs are of green slate and each
wing is surmounted by a small octagonal lantern.
This church was erected in 1905
(ref. 63)
and is a
simple stock brick building with open pedimented
east and west gables and a slate roof. A large
circular west window, with transoms and mullions
forming an open cross within it, is set above the
entrance. A five-bay round-arched arcade built
on the north side was intended to lead to an aisle
but this extension has never been made. The
architect was probably F. W. Tasker.
The site of Ruskin Park was acquired by the
London County Council in two portions. The
first portion cost £48,000,
(ref. 67)
and was opened on
February 2, 1907;
(ref. 68)
the second portion cost
£24,000
(ref. 67)
and was opened on February 19,
1910.
(ref. 69)
Generous subscriptions were received
from the Metropolitan boroughs of Camberwell,
Lambeth and Southwark and a local committee
collected voluntary contributions for both purchases. A small piece of land was added in 1929.
(ref. 67)
Eight of the original houses facing Denmark Hill
were included in the new Park, and have subsequently been demolished (see page 149). One of
these houses, formerly No. 170, was the home of
Captain James Wilson, and its portico has been
retained as a shelter. A commemorative tablet
records that “In the house of which this shelter
is a remainder lived 1799–1814 Captain James
Wilson, who was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne
1760 and after an adventurous life at sea during
which he was present at the Battles of Lexington
and Bunker‘s Hill and was confined nearly two
years in the Black Hole at Seringapatam, served
the London Missionary Society 1796–98 as
Honorary Commander of the ‘Duff’, the first
British Missionary Ship of modern times”. Nearby
is a sundial commemorating Mendelssohn's stay
at Dane House (formerly No. 168), which was
then the home of F. C. Benecke. An inscription
on the sundial states “Here stood the house where
Mendelssohn wrote the Spring Song 1842”.
In 1839 the Council of King's College, London
University, realizing that facilities for clinical
training for the medical students of the College
were needed, took on lease the former workhouse
of the parish of St. Clement Danes. This building
was converted into a hospital by Sir Robert
Smirke;
(ref. 70)
in 1852 a new building was erected
near by to the designs of Thomas Bellamy.
(ref. 71)
By
the end of the 19th century changes in the
character of the locality had deprived the hospital
of much of its usefulness, and the idea of removing
it elsewhere was already being discussed.
(ref. 72)
In
1904 the Hon. W. F. D. Smith, M.P., purchased
11 acres of land at Denmark Hill
(ref. 73)
which he
presented to the Governors of the hospital. A
competition limited to six leading architects
(ref. 74)
for
the design of the new buildings was won by
William Alfred Pite,
(ref. 75)
and the foundation-stone
was laid by Edward VII on July 20, 1909.
(ref. 63)
The contractors were Messrs. Foster and Dicksee
of Rugby;
(ref. 70)
the first portion of the hospital to
be completed was opened by George V on July 26,
1913.
The private patients‘ wards were erected in
1937 to the designs of Messrs. Colcutt and Hamp.
The tower over their entrance was erected by
Sir Connop Guthrie, bart., K.B.E., to commemorate the success of his son Giles in the 1936
Portsmouth-Johannesburg Air Race.
The hospital is arranged with the main administration block, which is five-storeyed and
Dominates the group, situated at the centre of the
north or Bessemer Road front. This block extends back as far as the main corridor which is the
spine of the scheme and runs east-west bisecting
the site. Southward at right angles from this
corridor run various ward blocks of two and three
storeys.
The older parts of the hospital are designed in
a Classical style characteristic of the early 18th
century with a particular Vanbrughian flavour in
the low pedimented pavilions flanking the administration block. The hospital is built mostly
of stock brick but has some red brick, and Portland
stone dressings are used freely.
The Denmark Hill entrance to the private
patients‘ wards, adjoining No. 150, is surmounted
by a tower of modernistic design with neo-Georgian
elements. At each side of the entrance,
which has a cantilevered hood, there are four
stone panels carved with various drug-producing
flowers. In front of this entrance stands a marble
statue to Dr. Robert Bentley Todd, 1809–60,
who was Professor of Physiology at the hospital.
The chapel is in effect a simple basilica with
round-headed windows designed to receive the
good late Victorian stained glass windows removed
from the former hospital; it is situated at
first-floor level on the axis southward of the
administration block.
