Description
The Terrace, which runs alongside the Thames in Barnes in the Barnes Green conservation area of Richmond-upon-Thames, has several eighteenth and nineteenth-century houses of exceptional quality. This view shows 26 The Terrace, said to have been one of the earliest buildings in this conservation area dating from the late eighteenth-century and listed locally in 1983 as a Building of Townscape Merit. Past residents include Ebenzer Cobb Morley (1831-1924), often said to be the father of Association Football, and the pop singer Duffy (b 1984). Sadly, it suffered a catastrophic collapse during basement extension work in 2015 and has since been rebuilt to similar style and profile. Also shown to the right of view is part of the frontage and ornate ironwork of 27 The Terrace, also listed locally and notorious for being the scene of the murder of its country home residents Louis-Alexandre de Launay, comte d'Antraigues (1753–1812) and his wife the soprano Madame Saint-Huberty (1756–1812) by a servant they had dismissed, who also shot himself dead at the scene.
