Transferware Database of Patterns and Sources Pattern #15926 Pattern Name: "Richmond Hill" Center Pattern Border Alternate Names: Arabesque English Views Category: British Themes / Places Border: Floral and Botanical / Sheet pattern / Copeland Arabesque border Additional Information: Plate, size unknown. This is the only pattern in this series not illustrated in Sussman1979. It bears the usual Copeland & Garrett mark indicating its being made in the company's "New Blanche" earthenware body. Although this view looks completely rural, Richmond Hill is in fact part of the suburb of Richmond in southwest London, rising from the Thames meadowlands on the north bank of the river as it meanders between Richmond and East Twickenham. Formerly part of the area known as Shene or Sheen, it was a favored retreat for English monarchs. King Henry VII built a home here which he named Richmond Palace, from whence the surrounding town took its name. Elizabeth I spent much time here, enjoying the hunting in Richmond Park near the palace. This view is the only one in England to be protected by an Act of Parliament, in 1902, so that the vista seen here looks nearly the same today.
