Join me at The Twickenham Museum this Saturday 7th June where I will be presenting introduction talks on their latest display, ‘JMW Turner and West London’. On the hour at 11, 12, 1 and 2pm. #JMWTurner and the River #Thames enjoyed a close relationship. As a child Turner went to stay his uncle, James William Mallord Marshall, in Brentford. In 1805 he rented Syon Ferry Lodge on the edge of the Duke of Northumberland’s Syon estate. In 1806 he moved to Hammersmith’s Upper Mall. In 1807 he bought land on which he would build Sandycombe Lodge from 1810. These talks form part of the 50➕ events celebrating the twinning/ reaffirmation between #Richmond, #Konstanz and #Fontainebleau taking place between the 6th and 8th June. And Turner visit and painted Konstanz and Fontainebleau. Free entry to the Twickenham Museum with no need to book. Nearby St Mary’s Church will also be open on Saturday 7th with the opportunity of climbing the tower for fantastic views of the local area. See you there! @TwickMuseum @LuminariesTrust @LBRUT @Gareth_Roberts_ @Visit_Richmond1 @JamesHenryChard @jwgcoombs @munirawilson @twickerati @BCLocalHistory @eelpierecords @EelPiepub @eelpiemuseum @TracyBorman @PopesGrotto @EHMarbleHill @HamHouseNT @hamhousegarden @Orleanshg @Twickenham_RC @RSSatMWT @StMaryTwick please R/T
