Dulwich in 1842

Dulwich lies in a hollow about 2 miles south from the village of Camberwell, and consists of a number of genteel pleasant residences. The only buildings requiring notice are, the College of God’s Gift, which has been much improved in appearance during the last few years ; and the episcopal chapel, a plain building, at East Dulwich : behind the college is a picture-gallery, containing some fine paintings, chiefly by the old masters.
