Holland House, a little beyond Kensington, is a fine old large Gothic structure built of brick, very pleasantly situated on a rising ground, and is at present the seat of the right Hon. Henry Fox. The celebrated Mr. Addison, who married the Countess of Warwick, lived in this house.
Holles’s Almshouse, in Great St. Helen’s, near Bishopsgate street, was founded by the Lady Holles, relict of Sir William Holles, Lord Mayor of London, in the year 1539, for six poor men or women, and endowed with 10l. a year, out of which each person was to receive 7d. a week, and the surplus to be laid out in coals for their use.
As an addition to this foundation, Alice Smith of London, widow, devised lands to the value of 15l. a year; which, with the above mentioned, being greatly increased in their revenues, the company of Skinners, who are the trustees, have rebuilt the house in a handsome manner, and augmented the pensions of the poor.
