Beaufort House was a grand mansion built beside the River Thames at Chelsea, London, by Thomas More in about 1520, while he held the position of Lord High Chancellor to King Henry VIII. On his arrest in 1534 all of More's property was forfeit to the Crown. The house was given the name of Beaufort House only in 1682, when it passed into the hands of the 1st Duke of Beaufort. It was demolished in 1740, giving its name to present-day Beaufort Street.
