  • Radnor Gardens Management Plan 2020-21: Foreword
    Official January 2020 – December 2021 1 Official Radnor Gardens Management Plan 2020-21: Foreword Radnor Gardens are a vitally important asset for local people and visitors to the borough. The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (the Council) aspires to maintain and manage the Gardens to the highest standards. This management plan is based on the use of an audit of the park following central government guidance known as PPG 17. This is explained within this document but the approach is based on common sense. We believe that it is important to get the simple things right. Is the green space clean and tidy? Is the grass cut? Are the trees and shrubs well maintained? Is any graffiti removed effectively and quickly? Working with local communities to deliver the highest quality of service is top priority and it is hoped that this document will provide a framework for continuing and improving dialogue. The site will be maintained appropriately and the local community will be consulted on any proposed changes or improvements to facilities or infrastructure. In particular, the borough works closely with the Friends of Radnor Gardens. We actively encourage suggestions about all aspects of the park. While the Council is open to the changing needs of the community with regards to any of the borough’s parks, the Gardens are long established and are well maintained. There have been major renovations over the last few years, these include the installation of a new playground; repairs to the boundary wall; shrub bed replanting; transformation of a parks building into a café kiosk and renovation of the bowling green.

Philip Davies London Region Director, English Heritage Restoration of the historic environment is just as diverse. In this edition of Changing London,snapshots of projects involving English Heritage and its partners from across the capital demonstrate that ‘R’ is not just for ‘restoration’ but for ‘reinvention’ and ‘renewal’. Old buildings and places can be given back their dignity. Others are finding a new lease of life with completely different uses. Still more are being renewed by a combination of both reinvention and restoration. These projects are just a tiny proportion of the work that English Heritage is supporting and assisting across London to create a genuinely sustainable future for both buildings and places. ‘R’ truly stands for much more than just restoration.

  • Kilmorey Mausoleum
    Kilmorey Mausoleum Designed in the Egyptian style, the mausoleum is raised on an octagonal stone base with cast-iron railings and gates (only a section of the railings survive). It is built of contrasting pink and grey granite with battered sides and a coved cornice. There is a double-cobra-headed winged sun in the coving over the entrance flanked by stylised lotus flowers. The roof (hidden by the coving) is of glass and the door bronze. Inside are the two coffins and, on the back wall, a marble relief carved by Lawrence Macdonald in Rome. This shows the dying Miss Hoste lying on a settee, with the Earl kneeling by her side accompanied by their 10 year old son Charles (1844-1934). Architect(s) H E Kendall Senior Listing Grade II (England and Wales) Year Created 1854 Style Egyptian Revival History The mausoleum was built by Francis Jack Needham, 2nd Earl of Kilmorey (1787-1880) for his mistress, Miss Priscilla Hoste (1823-1854): the Earl is also buried there. The Earl of Kilmorey, ‘Black Jack’ as he was known, was a restless and eccentric man. Although married, he either eloped with, or abducted, the young Priscilla Hoste, who seems to have become his ward following the death of her father. When the couple had lived together for some ten years Priscilla became fatally ill and, when she died in 1854, the mausoleum was initially erected in Brompton Cemetery, supposedly at a cost of £30,000. The building was moved twice by the Earl; first when he went to live at Woburn Park, near Weybridge, and then in 1868 to its present location near his next home, Gordon House.

  • Information for Candidates
    Information for candidates We are a team of innovative and highly motivated teachers and staff who constantly strive to provide the finest education and ever expanding opportunities for children; it is this passion which enables us to get the very best out of our students whilst fostering a love of learning through delivery of high quality, exciting and active lessons. The School’s website can be found at www.radnor-twickenham.org THE SCHOOL Location & History Radnor House is located in a historic building on the banks of the River Thames in Twickenham and nestled between Richmond Upon Thames and Kingston Upon Thames. The school affords beautiful views across the Thames, with its playing fields situated a mile down the river at St Mary’s University. Radnor House is well served by both school and public transport. Public bus and train (Twickenham or Strawberry Hill) and tube links are all within easy distance of the school. Cycling is encouraged, with safe and secure bike storage on site. With such excellent transport links, the School is easily accessible to a very large catchment area, under 30 minutes by train from London Waterloo, though most pupils live within the Teddington / Richmond / Kingston area. Radnor House was founded in 2011 by David Paton. The school’s historic building, Pope’s Villa, was purchased with the help of a £9 million investment by Albion Ventures LLP, plus funding from Mr Paton and his wife. Under the Radnor House Group, a second Radnor House School has been established just outside Sevenoaks. Overview of the school: structure, ethos and values Radnor House is a co-educational day school with just over 400 pupils ages 8-18.

  • The Langdon Downs and Normansfield
    THE LANGDON DOWNS AND NORMANSFIELD Richard Husband Dr John Langdon Down (1828-1896) was born the youngest of six children in Torpoint, Devon. His father was in business as a druggist, grocer and linen draper and the family lived over the shop. In 1847 John passed the Pharmaceutical Society's examinations and in 1853 entered the London Hospital Medical School. He qualified as a doctor and became Medical Superintendant at the Royal Earlswood Asylum for Idiots in 1856, a post he held until 1868. In 1859 he was elected Assistant Physician at the Royal London Hospital and then upon his resignation in 1868 commenced in practice at 38 Welbeck Street, London W. In 1881, he moved to larger premises nearby at 81 Harley Street. He bought the White House, soon to be renamed Normansfield on the borders of Hampton Wick and Teddington in 1868 which, following his experiences at Earlswood, became a Private Home for the "care, education and treatment of those of good social position who present any degree of mental deficiency". The White Dr John Langdon Down House came with five acres of grounds and soon after purchase, adjoining properties were added so that the establishment eventually extended to 43 acres. In 1879 the Normansfield theatre was opened which served both as an entertainment centre and a church. From an initial 19 patients in 1868, Normansfield had 145 patients by the time Dr John Langdon Down died suddenly in 1896. Throughout this period, he remained Medical Superintendent and his wife Mary, whom he had married in 1860, acted as Administrator.
