In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Mortlake like this:
Mortlake, par. and large vil. with ry. sta., Surrey, on river Thames, 1½ mile NE. of Richmond and 8½ miles SW. of Waterloo sta., London, 1883 ac., pop. 6330. Malting and brewing are considerable industries at Mortlake, which is famed as a boating resort. In the church and churchyard are interred Dr John Dee, the philosopher and astrologer, John Partridge, astrologer, and other notable personages.
