John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893)

Grimshaw's painting shows the tower of Old Chelsea Church from Cheyne Row, looking westwards along Lordship Place. The view today is much changed, with mansion blocks lining the left side of the street, and the rebuilt tower of the church is now obscured from view by the taller modern houses and The Cross Keys pub that stand at the far end of Lordship Place.
