In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Chiswick like this:
Chiswick, par. and W. suburb of London, and ry. sta., Middlesex, on river Thames, 1245 ac. and 95 tidal water and foreshore, par. pop. 15,975; has breweries and coal-wharves, and extensive market gardens for the supply of the metropolis. C. contains many handsome villas, the principal of which is Chiswick House, seat of the Duke of Devonshire; here Fox died in 1806, and Canning in 1826. In the churchyard is the tomb of Hogarth (1697-1764), the painter.
