In 1857, Kneller Hall and a remnant of the early estate became the home of the Royal Military School of Music so starting a long and close association between the School and the community of Whitton and the wider borough. This association continues today with the site remaining the primary place of education for Britain’s military musicians.

The main building (1) (referred to as simply Kneller Hall 15 7 throughout this report) dates to 1848 and contains classrooms, offices, 8 10 catering facilities and the school’s chapel, as well as a small museum dedicated to the history of military music. Two other historic structures 6 – the Guardroom (2) and Band Practice Hall (3) – stand close to the main 4 building on its west side. The north-west corner of the site is occupied 3 16 by modern accommodation blocks, music practice rooms, recreational 5 24 facilities and storerooms (5–14). 2 22 To the north of the main building is a sunken lawn (23) dating to the 23 nineteenth century including a fountain, and beyond the lawn a modern 18 1 bandstand (15). This replaced earlier bandstands and remains an important feature of the site. It continues to be used for public concerts. 19 17 The eastern half of the site is an area of open space, designated as 27 Metropolitan Open Land (MOL), which is used as a sports ground (19), with West Wing a group of associated, modern buildings, including the sports pavilion 20 (18). The sports ground is periodically used for hospitality purposes linked to events at Twickenham Stadium, which is located to the east of the site. 26 The treed area to the north of the MOL still contains references back to the historic landscape associated with Kneller Hall when it was used as a residence.

  • 1 Edmund Harris, Twickenham Rugby Ground 1906-1910: a Grand Gesture
    Edmund Harris, Twickenham Rugby Ground 1906-1910: A Grand Gesture (September, 2002) Introduction In his book, The Football Grounds of Great Britain, Simon Inglis makes a telling observation in that although “the architecture books are full of studies of the dullest church, even Pevsner’s Guide To The Buildings of England, mentions only two football grounds; Wembley and Hillsborough, and even then only in passing.”1 Within this scenario, the Rugby Football Union ground at Twickenham rests comfortably. As the single most dominant architectural feature on the Twickenham landscape it has largely escaped serious historical attention. What has become accepted as the definitive history of Twickenham Rugby ground has mostly been passed down from O.L.Owen who wrote the History of the Rugby Football Union in the 1950s.2 Nothing since has been produced which has tested or rigorously questioned Owen’s legacy. Wallace Reyburn did write Twickenham – The Story of a Rugby Ground in the 1970s, but mostly what historical information it contains echoes Owen’s earlier account.3 The legend has it that it was fine, all-round sportsman and rugby referee Billy Williams who found the Twickenham site after a year of scouting around for a suitable home and headquarters for the England rugby game and the Rugby Football Union. Because of the inferior nature of the site, it was almost immediately dubbed ‘Billy Williams’ Cabbage Patch’. Whereas the overall scheme was later praised as an example of “hard bargaining and honest accounting at their best,”4 there is evidence to suggest otherwise. Starting with The Roots of Twickenham Rugby Ground, this paper sets out to firstly examine Owen’s partial perspective within the context of the Rugby Football Union and the England game before 1907.

  • Arise Sir Isaac! Newton's London Career
    26 February 2020 Arise Sir Isaac! Newton’s London Career Dr Patricia Fara This lecture is based on Patricia Fara’s forthcoming book, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2021. The Indian Emperor. Or the Conquest of Mexico. As performed in the year 1731 in Mr Conduitt’s, Master of the Mint, before the Duke of Cumberland &c. Act 4, Scene 4 by William Hogarth (1731-2) Isaac Newton is celebrated throughout the world as a great scientific genius who conceived the theory of gravity and revolutionized optical science. But in his early fifties, he abandoned his life as a reclusive scholar at Cambridge to spend three decades in London, a long period of metropolitan activity that is often overlooked. Enmeshed in Enlightenment politics and social affairs, Newton engaged in the linked spheres of early science and imperialist capitalism. Instead of the quiet cloisters and dark libraries of Cambridge’s all-male world, he now moved in fashionable London society, which was characterised by patronage relationships, sexual intrigues and ruthless ambition. An eminent Enlightenment figure who had twice served as an MP, Newton liaised with international visitors and mingled among elite circles of the Hanoverian aristocracy. Knighted by Queen Anne, and a close ally of the influential Earl of Halifax, Newton occupied a powerful position as President of London’s Royal Society. He also became Master of the Mint, responsible for the nation’s money at a time of financial crisis and himself making and losing small fortunes on the stock market. A major investor in the East India Company, Newton benefited from the global trading networks that relied on selling African captives to wealthy plantation owners in the Americas and was responsible for monitoring the import of African gold to be melted down for English guineas.

  • Isaac Newton Back to Biographies
    Isaac Newton Back to Biographies Occupation: Scientist, mathematician, and astronomer Born: January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England Died: March 31, 1727 in London, England Best known for: Defining the three laws of motion and universal gravitation Isaac Newton by Godfrey Kneller Biography: Isaac Newton is considered one of the most important scientists in history. Even Albert Einstein said that Isaac Newton was the smartest person that ever lived. During his lifetime Newton developed the theory of gravity, the laws of motion (which became the basis for physics), a new type of mathematics called calculus, and made breakthroughs in the area of optics such as the reflecting telescope. Early Life Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England on January 4, 1643. His father, a farmer who was also named Isaac Newton, had died three months before his birth. His mother remarried when Isaac was three years old and left young Isaac in the care of his grandparents. Isaac attended school where he was an adequate student. At one point his mother tried to take him out of school so he could help on the farm, but Isaac had no interest in becoming a farmer and was soon back at school. Isaac grew up mostly alone. For the rest of his life he would prefer to work and live alone focused on his writing and his studies. College and Career In 1661, Isaac began to attend college at Cambridge. He would spend much of his life at Cambridge, becoming a professor of mathematics and a fellow of the Royal Society (a group of scientists in England).
