William Moffatt, who in conjunction with Frederick Wood, surveyed London and published a valuable and clever map of the levels thereof, lived at this time in Middle Row. His coadjutor still lives (in indigent circumstances) in the locality. The small plot of ground railed in, is said, by a very general tradition, to have been the spot where the victims of the plague from the Lazar House and elsewhere in the hamlet were buried. I have strong reasons for placing faith in this tradition; and in 1808, some human remains found where now stands William Street were buried here, it being considered the proper spot for such. King’s Row, built in 1785, has not a cellar to a single house for this reason. At its end is a detached brick building, the school-house of All Saints district. A market was held here till the beginning of the present century for cattle every Thursday; the last pen-posts were not removed till 1850. A fair was also held here annually on July 31st. Grosvenor House, which formed with Mr. Rogers’ premises one tenement, was for many years the residence of the Gosling family, who were for a long while connected with the hamlet. Francis Gosling, Esq., an eminent banker, lived here; he died February 25th, 1817. Bennett Gosling, Esq., his nephew, resided in Lowndes Square, where he died, May 12th, 1855. The “Pakenham” was built as the hotel for an intended railway terminus. On its site was an old house, many years the residence of Mr. Egg, the founder of the well-known firm of gunsmiths in Piccadilly. KNIGHTSBRIDGE TERRACE till within the last five-and-twenty years had not a shop in it. Every house was private, and had a deep basement area in front. The corner house, now divided, was for many years Mr. Telfair’s “College for the Deaf and Dumb.” James Telfair died in 1796, aged 84; his son, Cortez Telfair, died April 23rd, 1816, aged 65. Both were buried at Kensington, and in the church is a tablet to their memory. It states Cortez Telfair to have been celebrated for his literary attainments; but what these were I have not been able to learn, other than that, in 1775, he edited “The Town and Country Spelling Book.” {147} In one of the houses immediately facing the Chapel resided for many years Maurice Morgann, Esq., author of an “Essay on the Character of Falstaff,” and Under-Secretary of State to the first administration of Lord Shelburne. He was also Secretary to the Embassy for ratifying the Peace with the United States in 1783.
