Chiswick - St Nicholas’ Church and Burial Ground, Led by Henry Sainty

The churchyard of the old parish church at Chiswick and the adjacent burial ground are best known for the graves of Hogarth and Whistler. The churchyard of the old parish church at Chiswick and the adjacent burial ground are best knows for the graves of Hogarth and Whistler. But they offer so much more, with monuments to figures of local and national importance representing architecture, property development (with the subsiding tomb of Jonathan Carr, the developer of Bedford Park), sculpture, brewing, shipbuilding, politics, mental health (from the period when Chiswick House nearby was an asylum) and much more. The tour, led by trustee and local resident Henry Sainty, will also visit the church, substantially rebuilt by JL Pearson in the early 1880s and also featuring work by William Burges from the 1860s.
