•Palewell Lodge stood on the site of one of Mortlake’s common fields, Stonehill Shott, built in 1756. The Palewell estate was an extensive one from the Upper Richmond Road to what is now Vicarage Road and from Richmond Park Road to Hertford Avenue. The house was approached by a fine avenue of elms, now East Sheen Avenue. During the 19th century it was owned by three generations of the Gilpin family, notably William Gilpin.

In 1896 50 acres of the estate were sold for development, and 150 houses were built on Palewell Park and later All Saints’ Church. The house itself was pulled down in 1925.
