A short history of W8

Kensington appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as the manor of Chenesitone, meaning Chenesi's settlement. Aubrey de Vere I held it from Geoffrey de Montbray, Bishop of Coutances, who had received it from William the Conqueror. After 1095 Aubrey held it directly from the Crown and gave the church and an estate to Abingdon Abbey, creating Abbot's Kensington and St Mary Abbots. The de Veres' manor became known as Earl's Court. The spelling Kesyngton is recorded in 1396. The Kensington Barracks were built near Kensington Gate towards the end of the 1700s and were replaced in 1858 by new ones in Kensington Church Street. Holland Park stayed rural until the 19th century when parts of the Holland House grounds were sold for housing and William and Francis Radford built over 200 houses between 1860 and 1880. There are 494 listed buildings; eight are Grade I including Kensington Palace.
