Bexley
Bexley is an area of south-east London in England. It forms part of the London Borough of Bexley. It's situated about 13 miles (21 kilometres) southeast of Charing Cross. It was an historic parish inside the county of Kent. As part of the suburban growth of London during the 20th century, Bexley increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1935 and has formed a part of Greater London since 1965. Danson House and the nearby Danson Park in Welling are two of the major popular attractions in the London Borough of Bexley. One of London's finest architectural families in the nineteenth century came from Bexley: the Shaws. John Shaw worked on Lamorbey Park and was a well-known architect in Kent and London, being one of the first designers of semi-detached housing in the city. He's buried at St. Mary's Church. His son, John Shaw Junior, lived in nearby Crayford for a short time and owned a villa which was knocked down in the early twentieth century. Red House, the only home commissioned, created and lived in by William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts movement, is a building of extraordinary architectural and social significance. When it was completed in 1860, it was described by Edward Burne-Jones as 'the beautifullest place on earth'. The residence has been acquired by the National Trust and is now open to the general public. While the residence isn't completely furnished, the original features and furniture by Morris and Philip Webb, stained glass and paintings by Burne-Jones, the bold architecture and a garden created to 'clothe the house' are still available to view.
