Twickenham Local Information
Twickenham is home to Twickenham stadium, headquarters of the Rugby
Football Union and the Royal Military School of Music. It is in
the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames.
Evidence in the area of Church Street has been uncovered to suggest
that, on the site of modern-day Twickenham, inhabitants existed
as far back as approximately 3000BC. It was 704AD before Twickenham
was to be seen in a charter, then spelt ‘Twicanhom’.
In 1227 Richard Earl of Cornwall enclosed a large expanse of open
area to form what was later to be known as Twickenham Park. This
area is now St Margaret’s. A hunting lodge was built in 1375,
and a house in 1561. Sir Francis Bacon lived here from about 1580
to 1608.
In the late 1600s and early 1700s, Twickenham was home to nobility,
poets, merchants, writers, the wealthy and artists. In 1719, Alexander
Pope came to Twickenham and remained there until his death in 1744.
In 1747, Horace Walpole came to live in Twickenham, in a small house
in Strawberry Hill.
Over the next 40 years, a style was developed (‘Strawberry
Hill gothic’) named for Walpole’s unique style of redecorating.
Take a tour in your minibus hire and visit Strawberry Hill House,
then drive past the house of JMW Turner, built in the early 1800s
in Sandycombe Road. See if you can find the house Charles Dickens
stayed in during the summer of 1838, and then tour in your minibus
hire some more and view the house lived in by Lord Alfred Tennyson.
