Inspiration of 'The Lost Chord'

About here, Elysium Street, at the junction of the Fulham Palace and New Kings Roads in one of a terrace called Elysium Row lived the family of Sir Arthur Sullivan. His brother, Frederick who was an actor celebrated in the role of the judge in Trial by Jury died here in 1877. This event is said to have been the inspiration for Sir Arthur's composition of the song 'The Lost Chord'.
