Chelsea Manor House was once the
Henry VIII of England
in 1536, and was the site of two subsequent houses. Today, the area is covered by residential streets.
Owner-occupiers
In 1544, Chelsea was bestowed on Queen Catherine Parr as a lifetime grant, included in her jointure.[1] She died in 1548 at Sudeley, and in her will she left everything to her fourth husband, Thomas Seymour.
It was home to
Sir Hans Sloane, the Bishops of Winchester.[2] Three houses in turn existed, the last of which was demolished in 1825 by Earl Cadogan
and replaced with fashionable residential streets - the Cadogan family and its enterprises have kept ownership of some of these properties.
