Abstract:
This report is the result of research into the history and physical fabric of Danson House in the London Borough of Bexley along with its associated stable block and park. The house, an outstanding example of a neo-Palladian villa, is the work of the noted architect Sir Robert Taylor. Although it is impossible to be more precise about dates without any building accounts -- none have so far come to light -- documentary and fabric evidence suggested that the carcass of the house was finished in 1762-63 and the interiors somewhat later, probably in 1766. In 1770, Sir William Chambers was called in to enhance the interior decoration -- designing, most notably, the three very fine chimneypieces on the principal floor. Sometime before 1787 Taylor's single-storey canted bays on the east and west sides of the house were heightened. The house is listed Grade I.
