Fascinating first ever visit to #popesgrotto in #Twickenham. So well restored by @PopesGrotto with #lottery and other money. So many people drive over it without realising how close they are! @RadnorHouseTW twickenham-museum.org.uk/detail.php?aidโฆ



The nights are drawing in and the weather is getting colder. So, whatโs better than joining the London Luminaries on Thursday 7th November at 7pm for their final online talk in the current โConspiracy & Betrayalโ series? Trustee Ricky Pound, representing The Twickenham Museum, will deliver his talk on the fluid and often dangerous political and dynastic allegiances of men in and around Twickenham between the English Civil War and the end of the Jacobite challenge. It will be followed by the ever-popular Q&A session with Chair Professor Judith Hawley. Tickets are free but with a suggested donation of ยฃ5, the proceeds of which will be evenly divided between all the London Luminaries partners. The link to book your ticket is below.
