+**CHELSEA REACH** \\
+The full title, "Buckingham House, or
+Chelsea Reach,” commemorates the sale of an
+historic house in Chelsea, thought to have once
+been occupied by Sir Thomas More and from
+which he was taken to the tower in 1534.
+George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, sold the
+house a year before the dance appeared in
+print. The term "reach" has two meanings.
+The first is simply the Chelsea stretch of the
+Thames which flows in a straight course where
+sailing vessels could travel without tacking, a
+period of relaxation for the crew. However,
+the date of the appearance of this dance implies
+that the obsolete meaning of the term probably
+alluded to Buckingham's political intrigues.
