===Architectural=== [[File:Fulham Pottery, September 2016 01.jpg|thumb|left|Sole remnant of [[Fulham Pottery]], one kiln]] Fulham parish's rural past meant that its grand houses and not so grand vernacular and industrial buildings were either clustered in the village of [[Walham Green]], along the Thames or scattered among the fields of the hamlet of [[North End, Fulham|North End]]. Many historic structures fell prey to industrialisation, war-time bombing or a rush to demolition and redevelopment. Gone are [[Edward Burne-Jones|Burne-Jones]]'s 'Grange' in W14 and [[Samuel Foote|Foote]]'s 'Hermitage' villa and park as is [[Joseph Williams Lovibond|Lovibond]]'s Cannon Brewery in SW6.<ref>[http://www.heritage-explorer.co.uk/web/he/searchdetail.aspx?id=11712 Lovibond's Cannon Brewery, North End, Fulham] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005183437/http://www.heritage-explorer.co.uk/web/he/searchdetail.aspx?id=11712 |date=5 October 2016 }}, heritage-explorer.co.uk; accessed 29 July 2017.</ref> The ancient buildings and estate of [[Fulham Palace]], the seat of the Bishops of London until 1973, remains the outstanding asset with its Grade I listed medieval and [[Tudor period|Tudor]] buildings including a small museum, 13 acres of grounds, walled garden, and the part-excavated longest [[moat]] in England. The gardens are Grade II* listed. The further original grounds are now divided between a park by the riverside, All Saintsβ Primary School and The Moat School, and public [[Allotment (gardening)|allotment]]s. [[Church Gate, Fulham|Church Gate]] to the south of [[Fulham Palace]], is the approach to [[All Saints Church, Fulham|All Saints Church]], with its 14-15th-c. tower and 18th-c. tombs in the churchyard including those of a number of the Bishops of London. The [[Roman Catholic Relief Act 1791]] led to a gradual reintroduction of Catholic worship in the parish, but not until 1847 was the foundation stone laid for a church. This was [[St Thomas of Canterbury Church, Fulham]], with its presbytery, churchyard and school, off [[Lillie Road|Crown Lane]], designed in [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic Revival]] style by [[Augustus Pugin]].<ref>{{cite journal|author=O'Donnell, Roderick|date= 2007|title= Pious bachelors, converts, fathers and sons - English Catholic architects 1791β1939| journal=Ecclesiology Today |issue=38| pages= 25β36|url= http://ecclsoc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ET.38.pdf}}</ref> It is his only complete church and associated buildings in London and is [[Grade II* listed]].<ref>{{NHLE|num=1358590| desc= Name: Church of St Thomas of Canterbury|access-date = 16 July 2020}}</ref> There are a number of other statutorily and locally listed structures strewn across Fulham. Worthy of note is the last remaining conical kiln of the [[Fulham Pottery]]. Broomhouse Lane has a number of structures of interest, ranging from the Broomhouse draw-dock of medieval origin to 18th-c. cottages (Sycamore and Ivy) and the [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic revival]] [[Castle Club]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.panoramaofthethames.com/1829/guide/broom-house-dock|title=Broom House Dock - Guide to London's Georgian Thames|website=Panorama of the Thames|access-date=29 July 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730104143/http://www.panoramaofthethames.com/1829/guide/broom-house-dock|archive-date=30 July 2017}}</ref> [[The Vineyard, Fulham|The Vineyard]] in Hurlingham Road is of 17th-c. origin with later 19th-c. additions such as the stable buildings. The [[Hurlingham Club]] and grounds are of 18th-c. origin and Grade II* listed.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} The winding [[North End Road, Fulham|North End Road]] had several buildings of note. What remains are 'Crowthers' at no. 282, first built in 1712 with its extant 18th-c. gate-piers and the [[Modernism|modernist]] (1938) [[Seven Stars, West Kensington|Seven Stars]] public house, acquired by developers in 2014 and now converted into flats. The New King's Road contains several 18th-c. and early 19th-c. residences, namely, [[Northumberland House, Fulham|Northumberland House]], [[Claybrook House]], Jasmine House, Belgrave House, [[Aragon House]], and [[237β245 New King's Road]], all Grade II listed.<ref>Hammersmith and Fulham Historic Buildings Group, 2004, ''Local List''. Ed. Angela Dixon, Fourth Edition; revised September 2004.</ref> [[File:Aragon House, Parsons Green, SW6 (5306977458).jpg|thumb|right|Aragon House, Parsons Green, SW6]] Much of the stock in Fulham attests its vigorous 19th-c. industrial and urban development, most of it, 'low-rise', and benefiting from the brick-fields that abounded locally at the time. An unlisted vestige of the early industrial era is the 1826 remnant of Gunter's canal bridge, still visible from platform 4 at [[West Brompton station]].<ref name = "EC"/>
