A question for you: what does the Queen of England have in common with the Residents’ Journal’s editorial assistant and features writer Jennifer Mason? Well, they have both fashioned their very own poppy on the factory floor at Richmond’s

Poppy Factory for Remembrance Day. Our writer pops down to learn more about the proud tradition of sporting a Remembrance poppy on your lapel (p. 16).

Over in Twickenham, remembrance of a different sort is occurring as the Turner’s House Trust endeavours to restore the romantic painter’s Sandycoombe Road residence, long since fallen into disrepair. The Journal takes a tour around the

building, spying idiosyncratic J.M.W Turner aesthetics at every corner (p. 8). In keeping with the philanthropic and altruistic mood, we have also rounded up a few of the local charities operating in south west London that work to better the community

and offer assistance to those in need (p. 14).

I would like to close my editor’s letter this month with a few lines from Laurence Binyon’s World War I poem For the Fallen. ‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down

of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.’

NATURALIST

KNOW-HOW

According to a recent interview in London’s Time Out magazine, Sir David Attenborough, Britain’s favourite naturalist and broadcaster, is happiest at home in Richmond Upon Thames. The 87-year-old television legend said that the borough was his ‘favourite place by a long way,’ and with the variety of local wildlife in the area, including the famous deer in Richmond Park, it’s not hard to see why.

THE POETRY COMPETITION

Budding poets aged 4-16 will have a chance to prove themselves the next Lord Byron or Sylvia Plath at the Twickenham Poetry Competition this November, sponsored by the SRB and organised by the Church Street Association and Crusader Travel.

Entries must be received by 23 November; prize-giving ceremony will take place 30 November For more information, visit richmondliterature.com

THE HEALTHIEST PLACE IN BRITAIN

According to a recent study by the Office for National Statistics, Richmond Upon Thames is one of the healthiest places to live in the UK. Richmond locals have an average healthy life expectancy of 70.3 years for men and 72.1 years for women – up to 18 years longer than residents even just a few miles away in other parts of the capital. Research suggests that our lengthier life-spans are due to the healthier lifestyles of south west London residents, coupled with the cleaner air and plentiful green open spaces to enjoy it.

PROPERTY RUSH

The six-bedroom, 7,000 sq. ft. former home of racing legend James Hunt was under offer last month in Wimbledon for an estimated £5.75 million. Hunt lived in the area for more than a decade and was frequently spotted driving his Austin A35 around the area before he died in 1993 of a heart attack, aged just 45. The F1 champion’s rivalry with Niki Lauda, which captured the imagination of millions of fans in the 70s, was recently the basis of the acclaimed feature film Rush starring Chris Hemsworth (far left).

PUBLIC SERVANT OF THE YEAR

Merton’s leisure and culture manager Christine Parsloe has been short-listed for the national Guardian Public Servant of the Year Award for her efforts in harnessing the benefits of the London Olympic and Paralympic Games for the area last year. Community projects she has undertaken include bringing a BMX track to Mitcham, installing beach volleyball courts in a former putting green in Wimbledon Park and helping to organise the Queen’s visit during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Her tireless work has resulted in 37,528 young people taking part in health and

fitness activities in the borough between April and July this

year, up 17,828 from the same period last

First Impressions

I’ve got clear directions to Sandycombe Lodge from St. Margaret’s (turn right out of the station and follow Richmond Road for about three minutes until you see Sandycoombe Road, then you’ll find the house, number 40, on your left) but strolling into the average-looking residential street that’s home to one of the most exciting cultural discoveries in recent years, I’m ashamed to say I walk right past the house itself. Stopping to consult the ubiquitous Google Maps and get my bearings, I retrace my steps until I come to a nondescript garden gate with chipped paint and faded letters indicating to the world that this is the property designed and built by one of Britain’s greatest painters – J.M.W. Turner. In fact (if I’m being honest) it’s only the laminated sign bearing the Turner’s House Trust logo

Nestled away down a quiet, suburban street in Twickenham is one of Britain’s

hidden architectural treasures: the house designed by iconic romantic painter J.M.W

Turner. With fundraising efforts afoot to save the declining property, Jennifer Mason

finds out why this long-forgotten gem is worth every penny

THE HOUSE THAT

attached to the gate that gives me any indication at all that I’m in the right place.

My first impression of the house is that it’s not somewhere I would want to visit after dark. It has that disused, unloved vibe common to the settings of so many horror movies; the once-bright white-painted bricks are faded and hidden behind giant yew trees, the windows are shuttered, and the garden path resembles the backdrop to a Rudyard

Kipling novel. I half expect to see the flashing eyes of a jaguar peering at me from the foliage

– but thankfully it’s just one of the local cats to whom the plot has become a peaceful haven. I

wasn’t sure what I would find at Sandycombe Lodge, but this certainly isn’t what I expected.

I’m meeting art historian, Trust chairman and one of its founding members Catherine Parry-Wingfield, who greets me with a rueful smile and a softly-spoken question. ‘Not quite what

you expected?’ I’m in the process of shaking my head and wondering how on earth I’m going to manage to write over a thousand words about my visit, when the front door swings open and I catch my first glimpse of the high arches in the entranceway. Even for an architectural layman like myself, there’s something classic and yet unusual about the series of arches that make up the hallway, which, Catherine tells me, show the influence of Turner’s architect friend Sir John Soane, as do the curved segments of wall that give the house its unique shape. There’s an air of gravitas about the house, despite the garish chipboard wallpaper and the lack of furniture. ‘People often come to the house and say they can really feel Turner’s presence,’ says Catherine, ‘but with all the past refurbishment and redecoration that’s happened here I don’t understand how. I think he’d be turning in his grave to see the house as it is right now.’ I’m inclined to agree with her – the house clearly needs a lot of work – and yet, to me the rooms appear as a blank canvas, something I’m sure the artist in Turner would have appreciated. The house retains almost all of its original features (although second-floor extensions have been added to the wings since Turner’s day) including the striking skylight over the main staircase, but it’s in the basement rooms that the real history of the house comes through. ‘I always associate these rooms with Turner’s father, Old William,’ says Catherine. ‘He used to take care of the house and two acres of garden while his son was up in London – sometimes he walked miles into the city to open Turner’s studio and prepare the canvases. I think he must have been a remarkable old codger.’ There’s certainly a presence to these rooms, a sense of home and family, and the beautiful arched windows draw plenty of natural light in, even on a cloudy day. Sadly, however, these rooms also house the majority of the damage that so desperately needs repairing.

The Restoration

Ceiling collapses, blocked gutters, roots pushing through the exterior walls and floods rushing down the original (and until then undiscovered) coal chute are just some of the problems facing the restoration project. It’s clear to me that not only is this house in dire need of a serious amount of

TLC – but also that, given sufficient funding, it could be a remarkable insight into one of Britain’s most beloved painters. ‘It’s one of Turner’s major works – it’s his design, his concept; not just his home. It’s something that he thought about over a considerable period of time and designed himself. It opens up a whole aspect of Turner’s life that never gets written about,’ explains Catherine. With experts engaged in examining the building before the restoration begins, and even taking paint scrapings from the original walls to match colours, it’s clear that a huge amount of thought has gone into this project. ‘We’d love to get the house back to as close to its original design as possible,’ Catherine informs me, ‘even if that means using some of the more unusual and vibrant colours Turner was a fan of.’ I ask whether the bright yellow of the basement

kitchen is an original Turner decorating decision. ‘We’re not sure yet,’ Catherine laughs, ‘it could very well be!’

I wonder how far through the restoration process they are currently. ‘You can’t start what you can’t finish,’ she sighs, ‘so we can’t make a start on the house until we’ve raised the full £2 million we need to finish the project. We’ve had such a struggle so far trying to inch our way forward and stop any more bad things happening to the house when we had no money in the bank, so the first development grant we received (£135,000) from the Heritage Lottery Fund was an absolute godsend. Since then we’ve been incredibly lucky to get £140,000 from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Challenge Fund, as well as some very generous donations from members of the public, especially since we launched the appeal at Tate Britain. Most people donate between £25 and £500, but we had one donation of £10,000 which was wonderful.’ The Trust would love to see the project finished by 2016, but, as Catherine points out, that will all depend on how quickly they can raise the rest of the cash. ‘The process of building conservation will take somewhere between a year and 18 months, which is not that long, really,’ says Catherine. ‘I just wish we could start tomorrow.’

Turner’s Legacy

Even as a relative newcomer to the art world I can see the potential housed within this unique building, and the Trust’s plans for the Outreach Programme are, according to Catherine, just as important as the building itself. ‘It will draw together people from all walks of life to extend the process of creating artwork into the 21st century, using iPads and tablets,’ she tells me. ‘It means we can reach beyond the walls of the house and out into the community that once played a huge part in Turner’s life and creative process. That’s why it’s so important to preserve this place – it’s the site of his inspiration, and we hope in the future it will be inspiring for countless budding artists of all ages.’ I ask Catherine what she thinks Turner’s opinion of the restoration project would be. ‘I think he’d probably find it all rather amusing,’ she says with a smile. ‘Turner was a very proud man, so I think he would be pleased that his reputation has outlived him.’

Catherine’s research into Sandycombe Lodge and Turner’s

life in Twickenham is brought to life in her book J.M.W. Turner, R.A. – The Artist and his House at Twickenham, which you can buy at the house or at The Open Book in Richmond for £5.50. All proceeds go towards the restoration of Sandycombe Lodge.

As we head towards the front door, under the iconic arches, and back out into the street, I think about the scope of the task that Catherine and the Turner’s House Trust have ahead of them and I wonder how they stay positive when faced with the sheer volume of fundraising left to do before they reach their target. ‘The best part of my job,’ says Catherine, ‘is realising that now we’ve got a real chance to make this happen.’ n

How You Can Help

Whether you’re an avid art fan or you’d simply like to see this important piece of local culture restored to its former glory, there are a number

of different ways you can get involved in the project. All donations are greatly appreciated, but the Trust is always looking for hands-on

volunteers too, for everything from gardeners to tour guides.

The Poppy Symbol

THE INSPIRATION One of the reasons the poppy has become such an important symbol of remembrance is the iconic World War I poem In Flanders Fields, written by military doctor Major John McCrae in 1915 during the second battle of Ypres. A copy of the poem, hand-written by McCrae himself, is on display at The Poppy Factory.

THE FIGHT TO REMEMBER

Before the Royal British Legion took up the poppy as a symbol of remembrance in 1921, across the pond in America, Moina Belle Michael had been campaigning since 9 November 1918 (two days before the end of World War I) to have the papaver rhoeas (red poppy) adopted in the United States as a national memorial symbol. Moina read McCrae’s poem in the November edition of the Ladies Home Journal, and his words struck such a cord with her that she pledged to ‘keep the faith’ with those who had lost their lives during the Great War. At her midday break from the 25th Conference of the Overseas YMCA War Secretaries, Moina went to a local department store and bought 25 silk poppies which she distributed amongst the conference-goers. That day was the first time a poppy was worn as a symbol of remembrance.

In 1920, after years of campaigning, Monia finally persuaded the American Legion to take on the Flanders Fields Memorial Poppy as the United States’ national emblem of Remembrance. That year, a representative of the French YMCA Secretariat, Anna Guérin, visited the National American Legion convention and was inspired by the poppy

symbol. She returned to France and

founded the American and

French Children’s League, through which she organised French women, children and war veterans to make artificial poppies out of cloth, with the proceeds going towards restoring the war-torn regions of France. In 1921 she sent a delegation of French women to London to sell these cloth flowers and Anna herself persuaded Field Marshal Earl Douglas Haig, founder and President of The British Legion, to adopt the Flanders Poppy as an emblem for the Legion. November 1921 saw the first Remembrance Day poppies sold in London and marked the beginning of the last 92 years of fundraising, thanksgiving and remembrance.

In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.

In FLanDerS FIeLDS by Major john Mccrae (1872-1918)

The Past

In 1922, Major George howson Mc, an engineer who served on the Western Front in World War I, founded the Disabled Society to help disabled ex-Servicemen and women. The royal british Legion had launched its Poppy appeal just the year before, and howson suggested that his society could make poppies for future appeals. The Legion agreed, and so the flowers were adapted so they could be assembled by someone with a missing hand or arm. The first Poppy Factory was

The Present

Each November since 1928 at Westminster Abbey, the Poppy Factory sets up the Field of Remembrance, where more than 350 plots for regimental and other associations are laid out in the area between Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret’s Church. The factory supplies remembrance crosses so that anyone can come and plant one to remember a fallen relative or comrade.

This year the Field of Remembrance will be open from 11am on 7 November until 4pm on 17 November.

The Future

Although the Poppy Factory is still heavily involved in the manufacturing process of poppies for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal (in particular the more exclusive silk poppies and royal wreaths) it has expanded its enterprise into a more modern direction: finding mainstream employment for disabled ex-Servicemen and women. The factory employs a team of around 40 disabled ex-Servicemen and women or disabled people with a Service connection who work making poppies and wreaths all year round, and finds supportive employers prepared to take on disabled workers, as well as part-funds their first year’s work to aid a smooth transition into their new position, both for them and the company they work for. n

There are several different ways you can get involved in helping the Poppy Factory continue to make a difference to the lives of disabled ex-Servicemen and women across the country. Visit poppyfactory.org or call 020 8940 3305 for more information or to arrange a visit

We often look back to move forward and what better year to focus on than 1963: a year punctuated with significant moments of social change. it was the year in which Martin luther king told Washington ‘i have a dream’; in America Bob Dylan was the poster boy for the revolution, penning songs that would become the soundtrack to the Civil rights movement; Beatlemania was taking hold in the Uk

and Mick Jagger and keith richards cut their first record as the rolling stones. Proud Chelsea’s 1963: The Year of Revolution charts this exciting youthquake movement with images of these fine figures just on the cusp of greatness. shot by acclaimed photographers such as Brian Duffy, terry o’Neill and eric swayne, among others, the exhibition celebrates the release of a book of the same title by robin Morgan and Ariel leve.

Arriving at the Bingham Hotel in Richmond I feel a frisson of excitement. In the past the restaurant has been Michelin-starred and the new regime under chef Mark Jarvis hopes to emulate that success with its

innovative winter menu. My dinner date and I spend a delightful glass of champagne contemplating our meal selections for the evening, before my companion chooses Norwegian Scallops to start, followed by the venison. Both dishes come highly recommended by our server – and he’s not wrong. The scallops are light and buttery and the bitter chocolate gravy accentuates the richness of the venison. I opt to try something new and start with the roast Anjou quail and then the Anglais chicken, which is cooked to absolute perfection – the most succulent morsels I’ve ever tasted. The portion sizes are just right too (satisfying but not heavy) but my guest and I are still in two minds as to whether we can manage dessert. That is, until we see the menu.

Creative and delicious the dessert selections are a no-brainer. My friend chooses a fruity number – apples with beurre noisette, cob nuts and malted ice cream – which she claims she’ll never be able to finish but actually polishes off in rapid bites. It must be good then. I stick to the obvious choice, the bitter chocolate selection: chocolate mousse (creamy and thick), which has been customised with the addition of sorrel ice cream and marzipan. Unusual, but certainly effective. The light flowery notes of the sorrel cut through the dense chocolate flavour and work well with the almond tones in the marzipan for a vibrant mouthful.

Of course, let’s not forget the other half of a great dining experience, the wine list. We picked the brains of the resident sommelier for our vino selections and were impressed with his insights – particularly the coupling of the 2011 Chilean Pionero Pinot Noir with the Anglais chicken which brought to life the smokiness in the dish without being overwhelming.

Stuffed to the gills with modern British fare, we take a quick snoop around the well-appointed yet cosy bar and it doesn’t take

us long to decide that this is somewhere we’d like to return in the future. n

Thomas Cromwell was born on Putney Hill in 1485 to Walter Cromwell, a blacksmith, and his wife Katherine. As a young man,

Cromwell left his family behind in search of adventure on the continent. Rumours abound that he became a mercenary, a soldier and a merchant; but little is known about this early part of his life before 1514 when records list him as an agent for the Archbishop of York at the Vatican. Returning to England to marry in 1515, he travelled back to the continent on several occasions before becoming more involved in English politics in the early 1520s.

By 1523, Cromwell had obtained a seat in the House of Commons, and in 1524 became employed in the service of Henry VIII’s chief minister Thomas Cardinal Wolsey. In the mid-1520s, Cromwell assisted in the dissolution of nearly 30 monasteries to raise funds for Wolsey’s educational establishments and by the end of the 1520s was a trusted member of the cardinal’s council. Wolsey fell from power at the end of 1529, but Cromwell managed to escape the same fate and was appointed to the King’s Privy Council in 1530.

After Henry’s first marriage was annulled sometime between 1532 and 1533, Cromwell was tasked with ‘discrediting the papacy’ – a mission at which he achieved such success, in the eyes of the King, that in 1534 he confirmed him as his principal secretary and chief minister, and later that year, royal vicegerent – enabling him to levy a tax against the church to line government coffers. This act caused Cromwell to fall foul of the new Queen Anne, who was reportedly in favour of the church’s taxes being used for charitable purposes. When Anne instructed her chaplains to preach against Cromwell, it was time to take action. She had yet to produce an heir, and Henry was becoming increasingly enamoured of the young Jane Seymour, so Cromwell lead the movement condemning the unfortunate queen as a witch and adulteress – eventually leading to her execution in 1536.

The fall of the Boleyn family from grace benefitted Cromwell immensely. Soon after the execution he succeeded Anne’s father as Lord Privy Seal and was raised into the peerage as Baron Cromwell of Wimbledon. Things were going well for Cromwell – but in 1537, after a difficult pregnancy, Queen Jane died in childbirth giving Henry VIII his only male heir Edward, and marking the beginning of the end for Thomas Cromwell. He

suggested Anne of Cleves as a replacement bride for the grieving king, but this second Anne proved less popular than the first and the marriage was never consummated. Cromwell was still in favour with the king in April 1540 when he was granted the earldom of Essex and the title of Lord Great Chamberlain; but Cromwell’s opponents saw an opportunity to use the King’s unhappy fourth marriage to remove him from power, and in June 1540, Cromwell was arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London.

Henry deferred the execution until his marriage could be annulled and, during this time, Cromwell wrote to him from his prison cell, supporting the dissolution of the marriage but hoping for leniency from the King to whom he had been a loyal servant for so long; ‘I have meddled in so many matters under your Highness that I am not able to answer them all,’ he supposedly wrote. Henry, however, did not show mercy and Cromwell was executed without trial just weeks later in July 1540.

It would appear that Henry soon came to regret Cromwell’s execution, and began to accuse his ministers of bringing about Cromwell’s downfall by false charges. In March 1541, the French Ambassador Charles de Marillac reported that the King was now said to be lamenting that ‘under pretext of some slight offences which he had committed, they had brought several accusations against him, on the strength of which he had put to death the most faithful servant he ever had.’ Cromwell was one of King Henry VIII’s more loyal and determined courtiers; during his years at court he skillfully managed the country’s finances and extended royal authority, serving Henry’s own interests at some of the most crucial moments of his reign. It is certainly fair to say that he is one of the most infamous and influential of Putney residents. n

THE PUMPKIN PEEL The Pumpkin Peel is an advanced skin peel that exfoliates, targets acne and hyper-pigmentation and keeps skin looking youthful by stimulating collagen production and improving its hydration. The fruit acids in the peel solution penetrate into the deepest layer of the skin, rejuvenating, de-clogging pores, reducing inflammation and regulating excessive oil production, making this an ideal treatment to combat the drying and ageing effects of the colder winter weather.

£95 per treatment, available at Destination Skin, 157 St Margarets Road, Twickenham, TW1 1RD 020 7068 0750. residents’ Journal readers will receive an exclusive 50 per cent discount on their first treatment at the salon during November when quoting ‘TheResidentBeauty’ on booking.

UNDERWATER RUGBYThere’s a new sport making a name for itself in Putney and it combines the strength and stamina of water polo with the hand-eye coordination of rugby – thus Underwater rugby was born. Played with a negatively-buoyant ball, the aim is to score goals by dropping the ball into the opposition’s underwater goal – the tough part being that that the ball must remain underwater (meaning that for the most part, so must the players). originally designed to improve fitness, this is a great sport for keen swimmers (male or female) looking for a challenge.

Over 18’s only, Thursdays 9.30pm-10.30pm at Putney Leisure Centre, Dryburgh Road, SW15 1BL. Interested? Contact Oli at underwater-rugby@hotmail.co.uk (facebook.com/PUREUnderwaterRugby)

Advice for a father/husbandI’m married to a lovely woman who is the mother of my two children and I work in the City. I am well paid, and we are very lucky: children at private schools, nice cars, three holidays a year etc. The problem I have is that I have to work extremely

hard to provide all this (my wife doesn’t work) and the personal cost in terms of stress and effort is considerable.

That means at weekends it’s almost Saturday night before I feel in any way recovered from my working week, but every Saturday my wife insists I do everything with the kids (get them up, breakfast, take them swimming, feed them lunch etc.) so that she has some ‘time for her’. Don’t get me wrong, I love to spend time with my children as I don’t see much of them during the week, but I wouldn’t mind a lie-in every now and then.

What I’m finding hard to express, without an argument kicking off (and I have tried), is that the physical and mental cost of what I do means I need some time off occasionally as well. How do I gently explain that actually we could both do with some ‘down time’ at weekends and that it shouldn’t be a case of one person ‘dumping’ on the other?

Re: Advice for a father/husband

Wed Sep 25, 2013 10:24pm

I think neither one of you are approaching it from the other’s perspective. I can only give you my own, feminine perspective on needing time away from the kids (for what it’s worth). Don’t get me wrong, Dads need to unwind too, but work is definitely not harder than motherhood, I promise you that. I work full time at a demanding and stressful City job, but I find going to work to be a luxurious, daily ten-hour vacation from the demands of motherhood.

Motherhood requires putting the needs of another small human being ahead of your own basic needs for survival. And that’s hard work, which never lets up… Ever. Mums need a break too.

Stay-at-home Mums have the hardest job in the world. You never, ever get a break from motherhood, and sometimes you just need a little physical separation to remember your own name, to breathe out, and maybe possibly relax for just a few minutes.

Wed Sep 25, 2013 11:09pm

Being a full time mother and holding down a full time city job are equally as difficult and stressful in totally different ways. I agree that you are just as entitled to time out from your job as your wife is from hers. Can you have an arrangement whereby you alternate weekends? Perhaps you can afford to hire a child-minder or find a Saturday morning activity class at which your wife can drop off the kids on her way to her ‘me time’? Whatever solution you find, I think you are being perfectly reasonable in what you are asking for. The most important thing is to stay calm, try not to get into a competition about whose life is more difficult, and focus on finding practical solutions.

Thu Sep 26, 2013 10:52am

I can totally see your point of view. I agree staying at home with tinies is very full on, but you say yours are at school, so I assume your wife has some time to herself in the day? As I have come to realise over the years, my husband does not choose to work the hours he does, but HAS to, in order to keep our family in the manner to which we have become accustomed. However horrible it is charging round the house with wee running down your legs, I would suggest it is more horrible feeling the terrifying daily pressure of knowing how hard you need to work as the sole breadwinner supporting an extravagant lifestyle. The wee-running-down-your-legs stage will end, but, I would hazard, the bills for school and tennis clubs will remain, and even increase with each passing year. It’s important to find some ‘down time’ for yourself too.

THE CLASSROOMA focus on educational news and events across the area

At King’s House, we are very keen that our pupils should understand and be aware of their position in, and responsibilities for, the wider community, both within the local area and abroad. As a school, we are very fortunate

to have a strong, long-standing link with Rwanda, which provides our pupils with an opportunity to do this.

Back in 2008, a former parent of the school became involved with fundraising for schools in Rwanda – a country which was then struggling to rebuild itself after the genocide. What started as quite a small-scale project grew and grew and, later that year, King’s House School Cyato was opened in a remote area in south west Rwanda. Since that time, pupils, staff, governors and parents at King’s House in Richmond have maintained a strong link with our friends in Cyato – staff have been out to visit and help with training and equipment has been sent too. The school now has more than 1,600 pupils (aged between six and 16 years old) and is primarily funded by the government.

Following on from the success of this project, the school has continued to raise funds for related projects managed by the charity Rwanda Aid. Often these focus on particularly marginalised

children – for example disabled children and street children. Many members of the staff in Richmond, as well as former and current pupils, have been out to visit and we always enjoy it when they (or visitors from Rwanda) come in to talk about their experiences. Over the years of our involvement the pupils have built up a strong connection with Rwanda and have become fully engaged in the work being carried out there.

I was fortunate enough to have the chance to visit Rwanda myself this summer, seeing our sister school in Cyato and the latest project we are supporting – a centre for disabled children ‘Ngwino Nawe’ (Come to us). It is an inspirational place which is clearly having a positive impact on the lives of disabled children. Over the next year we will be raising money to help them rebuild a classroom.

Everyone who has been involved in the Rwanda project at King’s House, including both my predecessors as head, feel a strong attachment and commitment to the work going on there and we hope that our enthusiasm and interest will continue to fire the boys as they grow up to be fully aware of their responsibilities as world citizens.’ n

LORETTA’S LEGACY WALK On Sunday 29 September, more than 250 people took part in a sponsored walk along the River Thames in aid of Ovarian Cancer Action, organised in memory of Loretta Oliver, who died in May this year at the age of 50 after a six-year battle with the disease. The walk up to Hammersmith Bridge and back to the Harrodian School (where Loretta’s two children attend) was a huge success and raised a total of £13,000 for the charity.

Donations are still being received and can be made at justgiving.com/Lorettalegacywalk

THE OFSTED REPORTAccording to independent inspectors, all but two of

Richmond’s schools are classed as either ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’. Ofsted’s quarterly report stated that of the

49 schools inspected across the borough, 21 were rated ‘outstanding’ and 26 were classed as ‘good’. Only two

schools dropped into the ‘requires improvement’ category, and the council are working hard with both to ensure a

better result in the next inspection.

Keeping you in the know about important street plans affecting south west London

Planning & DeveloPment

TROUBLED BRIDGE OVER WATER Wandsworth Council is currently drawing up plans for major repairs to the Grade II-listed Putney Bridge. A detailed study by independent experts has shown that the bridge requires around £1.5 million worth of repairs, as its waterproof membrane (which protects the internal structure from water penetration) and the road surface are both nearing the end of their service life. Local residents will have a chance to put forward their opinions on whether the bridge should be closed altogether for six months to expedite the repair process, or part-closed for eleven months, before work begins; but according to transport spokesman Councillor Russell King, there is no way to avoid the problem altogether. ‘The repairs do need to be carried out so our main focus will be to ensure that they can be completed as quickly as possible and cause the least amount of disruption.’

(wandsworth.gov.uk)

AFC Wimbledon could be set to return home to Plough Lane with a new development in the pipeline for a 20,000 seat football stadium. A joint bid for the site has been submitted to Merton Council by AFC Wimbledon in conjunction with Galliard Homes, who co-own the site with GRA Limited and Investment company Risk Capital management. The proposal includes plans for a 11,000 capacity stadium (with flexibility to expand to 20,000) banqueting and conference facilities, 600 residential homes and a wide range of shops and community facilities, at an initial cost in the region of £16 million. Erik Samuelson, chief executive of AFC Wimbledon, is quoted as saying; ‘AFC Wimbledon is a community-owned club. We are making a powerful case for transforming a dilapidated area into a stadium that will be at the heart of our community.’ A final report will be given in early 2014.

HYDRO HYPE Ham Hydro has been rebuffed in its proposal to bring a hydro-electricity project to Teddington Weir. Although the scheme (to demolish a section of the weir before installing three Archimedean screw turbines), which will generate electricity for 600 homes in the area and save about 1,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, has been supported by MPs Vince Cable and Zac Goldsmith, other councillors and local residents fear that it could ruin a quiet and scenic conservation area. The council’s planning committee were due to come to a decision over the plans last month but a new date to hear the application has not yet been scheduled.

For more information on the proposed project, visit hamhydro.org or view the plans on richmond.gov.uk

Presently the building stands at seven storeys high, but the new building would be significantly taller than both the Brown and Root tower in Colliers Wood and the Morden Civic centre. Things are certainly looking up.

Experts share their invaluable knowledge and shine a light on local property news and developments

PROPERTY WATCH

In Copse Hill Wimbledon there’s an exciting new housing development in the making. Launched by renowned developer Berkeley Homes in conjunction with local estate agent Robert Holmes & Co, the Wimbledon Hill Park collection announces

the first stage of the park’s development: eight family homes ranging in price from £3.5 million to £6 million. Four of these houses will be built in a traditional red-brick design and four will feature more contemporary architecture.

Situated on the last large development plot in the area, the Wimbledon Hill Park complex once formed part of the Duke of Wellington’s estate, and these new buildings will reflect the prestige and luxury of their location. The development’s show home, ‘The Wellesley’ is now open for viewings, demonstrating the kind of craftsmanship and design available throughout these new houses, which feature large reception rooms, lavishly designed living areas and elegant bedroom suites.

Designed as family homes, these properties include all modern conveniences and the latest in household technology including bespoke sound and lighting schemes and a futuristic vacuum system throughout. From the upper bedrooms (or roof terraces, on the contemporary houses) there are stunning views across the borough and over to the Surrey Hills, and a state-of-the-art home cinema room for rainy days. All properties sit within landscaped gardens on sizeable plots and feature electric gated entrances and

Last of the wide open spaces

plenty of parking spaces (both inside and outdoor).The properties range in size from 3,350 sq. ft. up to 6,435

sq. ft. The largest house in the park is ‘The Montgomery’ which is the ultimate luxury family home; with five large bedrooms, five luxury bathrooms, his and hers dressing rooms as well as a heated indoor pool. The pool is part of the leisure suite, which also features a gym and a constellation of Swarovski crystals providing starry sky lighting to the pool area. This particular property also enjoys an extended garden and uninterrupted views across the borough.

The development is situated close to a wide range of top-notch schools and educational establishments (both state and private) including Wimbledon High School, King’s College School, Wimbledon College and Ursuline High School. The park is also near the world-famous All England Lawn Tennis Club (home to the Wimbledon Championships) as well as sports pitches and running tracks. Wimbledon Hill Park is close to Wimbledon Village and has excellent bus connections to Wimbledon Station. This initial phase of the development is due for completion in April 2014. n

The beneficiaries are all charities that seek to ensure the youth have a future. Fifty per cent of the huge total raised will go to LandAid, a charity that supports young disadvantaged people throughout the UK. The remaining 50 per cent will be split

between the outstanding four.Each organisation can boast of a very noble cause. Mary’s Meals

hopes to ensure that any child in a place of education gets a square meal wherever they are in the world, Kid’s Co sets out to provide children who face innumerable obstacles and hardships with a safe, caring, family environment, Barnados has been helping kids avoid poverty, sexual exploitation, disability and domestic violence since 1866, and finally the MPS society offers medical management, social, palliative and bereavement care to those suffering from rare, progressive, life-limiting genetic diseases.

Every office up and down the country pitched in with activities that ranged from the fun to the brave. Imaginations were stoked, limbs readied: some risked their dignity climbing the three peaks, others risked their jobs lobbing wet sponges at Alistair Elliott, Senior Partner, Belgravians baked cakes, the Geordies washed cars, Fulham-branch rowed the channel, Mayfair organised bike rides, others general knowledge quizzes, rowed the Thames, and launched silent auctions.

After the frenzy of activity died down Alistair Elliott, senior partner, commented: ‘We are delighted to have raised £88,000 on our inaugural Day of Giving. All the charities we raised money for are fantastic causes and we are thrilled to be able to help out. Huge credit goes to all of the teams who took part, their ideas and organisation in advance of the event ensured that great fun was had by all. Something to build on for next year!’ n

Buy to let and landlordopen evenings with Savills

With tenants increasingly looking for high-quality, professional lets and the industry becoming ever more legislative, Savills is opening its doors to offer expert

advice to local landlords.

Whether you are an experienced portfolio landlord, taking your first steps into buy to let or thinking about renting out your own home, our experts are here to answer your queries and help solve any property problems. Individual postcodes determine prices and rental incomeSince the credit crunch, we have seen both prices and rents vary dramatically from one London postcode to another. our comprehensive research and local property experts live and work in your area, so understand and can explain what causes local values to rise and fall. they are also well placed to advise you on how to maximise both your rental income and profit. More lettings rules and regulations to come even as arLa-licensed lettings experts we’ve found 2013 a challenging year, with the introduction of so many new rules and regulations for landlords; from keeping damp and disrepair under control through to the way you advertise properties to rent (from 1st November 2013). how you treat your tenants is going to come under intense scrutiny and the Government is releasing money to

prosecute landlords who fail to comply with the new regulations; some have already

incurred large fines. Lettings rules and regulations are set both nationally by the Government and locally by your individual local authority housing officer, who has a remit to apply their own regulations within your area. as an individual landlord, it is hard to keep up with this two-pronged approach to legislation and you have never been so vulnerable to fines and prosecution. How we can helpour team of experts are not only qualified in all areas of property lettings and management, but also understand buy to let from an investment perspective. So whether you need advice on adapting your home for rental; are looking to gain a better understanding of what yields and returns you can expect from buy to let; want to find out what funding you can secure to expand your portfolio; or need help dealing with

tenant issues, come and talk to us and we will be glad to share our expertise with you. each of the following offices will open their doors to you for one to one buy to let and landlord advice, from 5.30pm to 9.00pm.

ArTerberry roAd SW20This charming detached house holds resemblance to a quaint country cottage. Monks Rest was constructed in 1925 using largely reclaimed bricks and timbers. During 1937 it was sold and extended to its current size.Monks Rest is interestingly orientated sideways; this achieves a bright southerly outlook for the master bedroom and all reception rooms. The garden also benefits from this. Externally the property boasts fine old timbers, ornate beam ends as well as other architectural features; all of which display authentic signs of aging. Internally the exposed oak beams continue the authenticity demonstrated on the outside. The entrance hall leads through to the dining room which houses an inglenook fireplace. Further into the house, the exquisite drawing room hosts double aspect oak panels, and a wide planked oak floor. At the other end there is a sitting room. Both rooms also have similar inglenook fireplaces. Pine units and a convenient pantry can be found in the country style kitchen. Upstairs is the double aspect master bedroom, within which there is an open fireplace, dressing room and a bath/shower room en-suite. There are a further three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC. This charming and quintessentially English house is found in a rural setting close to Wimbledon Village. Enjoy rural benefits within close proximity of urban convenience.
