In 1787 Lady Charlotte Fermor (1766-1835), a daughter of George Fermor, 2nd Earl of Pomfret (1722-1785) of Easton Neston, married her drawing master Peter Denys (1760-1816) of Hans Place, Westminster, and Fremington, Yorkshire, Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1812. She was the sister of the 3rd and 4th Earls of Pomfret. w:Peter Denys (1760-1816) was a drawing master, later patron of the arts and landowner, the son of the language teacher Peter Denys (sometimes Denyss), who was himself the son of a Swiss emigrant. Denys married his pupil, Lady Charlotte Fermor (1766–1835), daughter of George Fermor, 2nd Earl of Pomfret. With her income of £4,000 a year, he bought The Pavillion (or Sloane Place) on the south side of Hans Place in Chelsea, London, and Fremington, Yorkshire. Their son was the politician, Sir George Denys, 1st Baronet (1788-1857). (Source: Wikipedia). Lady Charlotte Denys lived at The Pavillion, off Hans Place, now memorialised by "Pavillion Road". "Adjoining Hans Place is the Pavilion, formerly the residence of Lady Charlotte Denys, and now of the Earl of Arran. This building was erected in the latter part of the last century by a Mr. Holland, who had taken from Lord Cadogan a lease of one hundred acres of land hereabouts, formerly called "Blacklands," and now Upper Chelsea, for the purpose of forming new streets, &c. Mr. Holland reserved to himself twenty-one acres of land, on which he erected an elegant house for his own residence. The front of the house was originally built as a model for the Pavilion at Brighton, and was ornamented by a colonnade of the Doric order, extending the whole length of the building. The mansion consisted of three sides of a quadrangle, open to the north, and the approach was from Hans Place. The south front of the house faced an extensive and beautifully-planted lawn, gently rising to the level of the colonnade and principal floor. On the west side of the lawn was an ice-house, round which was erected a representation of the ruins of an ancient "priory," in which the appearance of age and decay is said to have been strikingly reproduced. The Gothic stonework was brought from the ancient but now demolished residence of Cardinal Wolsey, at Esher, in Surrey. The lawn was ornamented by a fine sheet of water, besides which the grounds had about them "considerable variety of fanciful intricate paths and scenery, properly ornamented with shrubs, and had a private communication with the house by the walks of the shrubbery." (Edward Walford, 'Chelsea: Cremorne Gardens', in Old and New London: Volume 5 (London, 1878), pp. 84-100. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/old-new-london/vol5/pp84-100 )

"The most unusual feature of the scheme was Hans Place, a rectangle with the corners cut off, entered by streets on north-west, north-east and east, and with a wide opening on the south. It was laid out by Holland on part of the 47 acres he held in reserve, and he took 3 acres to the south of it to build for himself a house, framed by the southern opening of Hans Place, which he occupied by 1789; it was initially called Sloane Place but later the Pavilion, a reference to Holland's work for the Prince of Wales at Brighton. The entrance to the house was on the north side and two narrow wings, which housed coachhouse, stable, and drawing office on the east, and laundry, dairy, and scullery on the west, extended northwards enclosing a courtyard. When it was built the house was approached by a short avenue from Sloane Street on the east, with a covered entrance to the courtyard through the ground floor of the wing. A dung-heap was shown on the plan of 1790 at the northern boundary of the site near the west wing, (fn. 14) which suggests that the later approach and entrance from Hans Place, which existed by 1794, (fn. 15) had not then been planned".
