Dist:0.4km<br/>This rather exclusive golf club has a very impressive club house - Camden Place. The early 18C mansion was the home of the deposed emperor Napoleon III from 1870 until his death in 1873. It has been a golf club from 1894. The photograph was taken on the course on a rather chilly morning before any golfers were out.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Dating from 1874, this house was home to Sir George Hayter Chubb, later 1st Baron Hayter, for many years Chairman and Managing Director of the Chubb and Sons Lock and Safe Co Ltd, which had been established by his grandfather in the early 19th century. The name of the house is a pun on the family name: chevender was a Middle English version of the word chavender, itself an alternative name for the freshwater fish, the chub.
