Bishops Close is situated in the locality of
Gunnersbury, within the area of
Chiswick.
The name of Gunnersbury derives from Gunylda, the niece of
King Canute who lived there until her banishment from England in 1044.
Originally a manor owned by the
Bishop of London, the Frowyk family occupied it in the 15th century,
Sir Thomas Frowyk,
Chief Justice of the Common Pleas having been born there in 1460.
In the mid 17th century, Gunnersbury was acquired by Sir
John Maynard, a lawyer and politician during the time of
Cromwell.
In 1740 George II bought the estate for his daughter and then created the park and private house.
