Crosby Hall

Crosby Hall, Cheyne Walk, Chelsea originally stood in Bishopsgate. It was the Great Hall of the 15th century Crosby Place.

Shakespeare was quite familiar with this former city mansion. He included this very buidling into the story 'Richard III' as the scene of Gloucester's plotting. Uncoincidentally, The building was occupied by Richard while he was Duke of Gloucester. Later it was owned by Sir Thomas More.

When facing demolition.....The Hall was moved stone by stone from Bishopsgate to Chelsea in 1910 in order to rescue it from demise. It was then incorporated into the buildings of the British Federation of University Women and used as a dining hall. It is now a private home.
