The following is a summary of Arthur H. Beavan's comments on Fulham Palace in Imperial London, first published in London and New York in 1901.

Fulham Palace, the home of the Bishops of London, standing in extensive grounds near Fulham Church, was approached in 1900 from Fulham Palace Road through a stately avenue of old elms and chestnuts, and was completely encircled by a moat, supplied by the river-tide, constructed centuries earlier at great expense, and still maintained in working order.

The park - for such it was in miniature - was most delightful, dotted with noble timber, a most unusual appanage of what was, by reason of the growth of London, virtually a town house.

The old portion of the Palace had some quaint rooms; other apartments were modern, those on the ground-floor having windows opening out upon the fine gardens, the pride of a succession of Bishops evidently devoted to horticulture.
