1773 COPPER ENGRAVING RARE ANTIQUE BOOKPLATE PRINT.Roehampton is situated between Putney Heath and East Sheen, and is near London. For many centuries, Roehampton was just a small village, a medieval offshoot of Putney. The early 16th century saw the formation of Putney Park, a royal hunting preserve, and it is likely that the village was moved at that time to its present site on the edge of the common. By 1617 it boasted 33 houses and two inns, the Kings Head and the Angel, giving a population of about 200. In the 18th century there were a number of grand residences, surrounded by their park-like grounds. Four of these still survive today, all now occupied by various institutions. Roehampton High Street too has a number of buildings still from this period; a mixture of styles built either of brick or with clapperboard facings. Some of the old buildings have been rebuilt or replaced, while others have just had new shop fronts added. PUBLISHED DATE 1773 LONDON PRINTED FOR R. GOADBY SOLD BY J.
