140 & 142 Church Road
Large pair of semi-detached 19th Century villas marked on the 1870 6" map. A green plaque by the door to no 140 (on the right) commemorates Admiral Robert Fitzroy. Fitzroy, pioneer of meteorology (including founding what later became the Met Office) and captain of the ship on which Charles Darwin voyaged to the Galapagos, HMS Beagle, lived here for the last month or so of his life. Suffering from depression, he committed suicide here on 30 April 1865.
