1820 Settler Places in Britain and Éire

In many cases, particularly in cities like London and Bristol, many buildings with settler ties no longer exist. In such cases I have tried to include historical pictures where possible, and where I have not been able to take pictures myself I have added pictures from www.geograph.co.uk, which can be used under a Creative Commons Licence. Where the photographer’s name appears as a clickable link followed by a CC BY-SA 2.0 reference, the original photo can be viewed together with other photographs of the surrounding area.

The pictures are currently arranged by county for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with separate sections for the cities of Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Nottingham. London has been further sub-divided into Boroughs so as not to have too many pictures in one file. The pictures appear as small icons with a brief title. Clicking on them will reveal a larger picture with text explaining the link to one or more settlers and a credit to the photographer. Clicking on the + sign will further enlarge the picture to full screen (ESCape to exit full screen), and the photographs can all be downloaded from the site.

 

All Hallows by the Tower

All Hallows by the Tower
London, City of London

All Hallows by the Tower, overlooking the Tower of London, is one of the oldest churches in the City, sometimes known as All Hallows Barking after the Anglo-Saxon Abbey which established it in 675. The church was repaired after an explosion in 1650, survived the Great Fire of 1666, but was gutted during WW2. After extensive reconstruction it was rededicated in 1957. The outer walls, which survived the bombing, are 15th century. John Anthony CHABAUD and Janette Martha GORDON (parents of the settler John Anthony CHABAUD) were married here in 1795, and Thomas GRIFFIN and Sarah YATES were also married here, as were Richard WEBB and Elizabeth COTTINGTON.
