The Late Fire At Campden House: View Of The Garden Front
The late fire at Campden House [Kensington]: view of the garden front, showing the remains of the theatre, 1862. 'On the morning of Sunday week...a fire broke out at Campden House, and in the course of a few hours left nothing standing but the shattered walls...Two hundred and fifty years have passed since Sir Baptist Hickes, a wealthy silk mercer, of Cheapside...erected the mansion...the date is said to be about 1612...Princess, afterwards Queen, Anne...resided [here] for some time with her husband, Prince George of Denmark...The Princess made an addition to Campden House at the western, end, which is now regarded as a separate dwelling, and was formerly called Little Campden House. It is at present known as the Elms, and is occupied by Mr. Augustus Egg, R. A. The mansion was at one time somewhat modernised, probably in the last century; but in the main it was the original structure of Sir Baptist Hickes. Of late years it has come again into notice as the residence of the unenviably-famous Colonel Waugh, and as the scene of some illustrious private theatricals, in which many literary celebrities of our day have acted for charitable objects'.
