A note about the Ham and Petersham Association. Its origins date from as early as 1933, when it was known as the Ham Ratepayers’ Association. It then became the Ham and Petersham Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association and in 1989 the name finally became the less cumbersome Ham and Petersham Association. In this book, I have generally referred to it by its current title. Throughout its long history the Association has been an integral part of and the it community, is essentially because of public- spirited members who over the years have voluntarily contributed their effort and time to seek to protect the unique environment of Ham and Petersham that it remains so It special is today. to all those people that this book is dedicated.

The aim of this book is to celebrate what were royal manors leased to the Cole family (see page makes the two villages so special and of such interest 78). In the 17th century the lease passed to William by bringing together a selection of the available Murray, 1st Earl of Dysart, of Ham House, and in 1671 relevant historical material both in words and in the Duke of Lauderdale, who had married William’s pictures.

It is thought the village make the King even more unpopular than he already of Ham derived its name from Hamme, an old English was. Despite this opposition Charles was determined to word meaning meadowland in a bend of a river. It was press ahead with a hunting park for his private use.

They owned most of the land and were a strong influence on the form and historic development of both villages. The 17th and 18th centuries were a golden age for Ham and Petersham: they became a fashionable country retreat for the aristocracy and many of the elegant mansions built at that time still survive.

    678 December 14th 1819-December 31st 1820: Newgate, Cato Street, and the Trial of Queen Caroline 1820: Newgate Diary, the 1820 Westminster Election, Byron’s ballad My Boy Hobby, O, the execution of the Cato Street Conspirators, and the Trial of Queen Caroline December 14th 1819-December 31st 1820 Edited from B.L.Add.Mss. 56540 and 56541. In the notes, “I.G.” indicates assistance from Ian Gilmour, to whom I’m grateful. In 1819 Hobhouse contested the parliamentary seat of Westminster, which had become vacant on the suicide of Romilly. He stood as a radical, supported by his father and by Burdett, but was defeated on March 3rd by George Lamb. Riots followed, and a breach opened between him and the Holland House Whigs. Westminster was an unusual constituency. It extended from Temple Bar to Hyde Park, from Oxford Street to the Thames, and three-quarters of its voters were middle-class: shopkeepers, skilled artisans, printers, tailors, and so on. It was the only constituency in the country in which each of its 17,000 rate-paying householders had the vote, which fact made it a headache to any administration, Whig or Tory, which was based upon, and served, as all administrations were and did, the landed gentry. At Westminster, candidates had to stand on the hustings and speak deferentially to people whom they’d normally expect to speak deferentially to them . At this time Hobhouse wrote several pamphlets, and an anonymous reply to a sarcastic speech of Canning’s, written by him and some of his friends in the Rota Club, attracted attention.

The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.

  • A Geotrail in Richmond Park
    A Geotrail in Richmond Park 1 Richmond Park Geotrail In an urban environment it is often difficult to ‘see’ the geology beneath our feet. This is also true within our open spaces. In Richmond Park there is not much in the way of actual rocks to be seen but it is an interesting area geologically as several different rock types occur there. It is for this reason that the southwest corner has been put forward as a Locally Important Geological Site. We will take clues from the landscape to see what lies beneath. Richmond Park affords fine views to both west and east which will throw a wider perspective on the geology of London. Richmond Park is underlain by London Clay, about 51 million years old. This includes the sandier layers at the top, known as the Claygate beds. The high ground near Kingston Gate includes the Claygate beds but faulting along a line linking Pen Ponds to Ham Gate has allowed erosion on the high ground around Pembroke Lodge. Both high points are capped by the much younger Black Park Gravel, which is only about 400,000 years old, the earliest of the Thames series of terraces formed after the great Anglian glaciation. Younger Thames terrace gravels are also to be found in Richmond Park. Useful maps and guide books The Royal Parks have a printable pdf map of Richmond Park on their website: www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/richmond-park/map-of-richmond-park.

    The Teddington Society NEWSLETTER No. 53 — MARCH 1986 TWO ITEMS FROM THE CHAIRMAN Are you aware of your environment? Of the wildlife that goes on around you in spite of the suburban hustle and bustle? We would like to stimulate your interest by having a competition in which we would ask you for a year to keep a nature diary, or some sort of record of a project: grey squirrels, bats, foxes, etc. The eighteenth century vicar of Teddington, Stephen Hales, suggested to Gilbert White that he keep a nature diary, and in a letter to Dames Barrington, White wrote, “If I was to attempt anything it would be somewhat of a natural history of my native parish — comprising a journal for a whole year and illustrated with large notes and observations. Such a beginning might induce more able naturalists to write the history of various districts.” In this area alone we have churchyards, railways sidings, Bushey Park, and the river. Professional naturalists rely on amateurs for much of their knowledge, so if you are interested contact me, Pat Counsell on 977 3735. Richmond Upon Thames Arts Council runs a poetry competition every year - this year’s is the 16th - for young people, aged between 11 and 18. To be eligible you have to either live or study in the Borough of Richmond. Each entrant may send in as many poems as they like for 50p, and entries must be in by 27th March. If you know of anyone who would like to enter a poem, please send their entries with 50p which goes towards the cost of the hall for the prize-giving and the prizes, to me, Mrs.
