Chelsea, in the Olden and Present Times
Transcribed from the 1869 edition by David Price
"Chelsea, in the Olden & Present Times" by George Bryan is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the parish of Chelsea, including its history, notable residents, and significant events that shaped the area. Bryan's work seeks to bring authentic local history to the forefront, thereby illuminating the rich cultural heritage embedded in Chelsea. The opening of the book presents a preface where the author outlines his motivations for creating this local history, specifically emphasizing the lack of recent works since Thomas Faulkner’s history of Chelsea. Bryan shares personal connections to the parish, expressing his desire to make the volume both interesting and informative while avoiding unnecessary details. He discusses the etymology of Chelsea, its boundaries, the Old Church, and notable monuments within it. The text begins to explore the parish's distinguished residents and significant landmarks, setting a foundation for a narrative that intertwines personal anecdotes with historical facts as it progresses.
