The society was founded in March 1987 to bring together people with an interest in this historic house and park, to encourage a wider knowledge with talks and events, and to help English Heritage to preserve and enhance its amenities.

The Damask Room

The house is set in 66 acres of open parkland, beside the river Thames at Twickenham, in the London Borough of Richmond. It is a classic example of an English Palladian villa.
