The Fete Champetre at Charlton House, sketched by G. Harrison, 1845. Creator: Unknown
The Fete Champetre at Charlton House, sketched by G. Harrison, 1845. Garden party at Charlton House at Greenwich in south-east London. The mansion is placed upon a hill of gradual ascent, and commands a noble prospect of the Thames: it is of red brick, with stone finishings, and an open balustrade round its summit above which rise stacks of chimneys, and two small towers that surmount the projecting wings of the principal front and agreeably diversify the general outline. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
