Earls Court, once part of ancient manor of Kensington
It seems difficult to imagine now, but up to a hundred and fifty years ago Earl’s Court was a rural area, covered with green fields and market gardens. For over five hundred years the land, part of the ancient manor of Kensington, was owned by the De Vere family, Earls of Oxford, descendants of Aubrey De Vere, who followed William the Conqueror to England in 1066. The Earl held his Manorial Court where Old Manor Yard is now, just by the Underground station. Hence the name Earl’s Court.
In about 1604, the manor was purchased by Sir Walter Cope, Lord of the Manor of Kensington. Through a series of marriages, the estate passed to the Edwardes, a Welsh family, who continued to own it until 1901, when it was sold and broken up. Because their home county was Pembrokeshire in west Wales, when the Earl’s Court area was developed the Edwardes chose the names of Welsh villages – Nevern, Penywern, Philbeach, Trebovir, Templeton – for many of the new streets and squares. If you look at a detailed map of Pembrokeshire, you can find these places on it.
