You mention Tower House..which is shown on that map. This extract from the Brentford and Chiswick Local History Society website is interesting too. John Donaldson was involved with the founding of Thorneycrofts ship building Company just up the road on the River Thames. “John Donaldson built Tower House at the northern end of Chiswick Lane In 1875. It is now a convent, used since 1952 by the Missionary Sisters of Verona. They followed a French Roman Catholic Sisterhood, Marie Reparatrice, a closed order whose members wore pale blue and white robes and were known as the Blue Nuns. The Donaldson family had a large music room which became the Chapel; it was damaged by a bomb in World War II, soon after which the Blue Nuns left and went to Wimbledon” Here is a view of the Grounds of Tower House….grounds that can’t be far from your cross! http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/8/7/2/4/9/webimg/638350138_o.jpg?nc=753 |
