Sarum Chase is a large detached neo-Tudor mansion,[1][2] at 23 West Heath Road, Hampstead, London,[3] described by Nicholas Pevsner as "pure Hollywood Tudor".
[9] In his 1953 autobiography, also titled Sarum Chase.,[3][9] Salisbury wrote: Telegraph Hill rises from the junction of Platt’s Lane and West Heath Road to one of the highest points in Hampstead overlooking London, with a wonderful view across country to the Chilterns.
The land was as bare as the heath itself except for a group of giant oaks in front, and it was the glory of these trees which ultimately decided the matter.
This was the last primeval site on Hampstead Heath, the very summit of London, and I resolved to have a house worthy of the situation […] This wonderful little hill at the very top of London was a wilderness of stinging nettles and wild plants and it was thrilling to look forward to what might be made of it.On his death in August 1962,[3] Salisbury bequeathed the house in trust to the British Council of Churches.
On 7 June 1968, it was the setting of a photoshoot for The Rolling Stones, for their Beggars Banquet album, by photographer Michael Joseph.
