Guided Tours of Pope's Grotto and
Marble Hill House.
Pope's Grotto Preservation Trust and English Heritage are pleased to announce joint tours of Alexander Pope's grotto and Marble Hill House together with its grotto. This is a unique opportunity to visit two 18th century grottos and one of the most important Palladian villas, accompanied by expert guides.
The tour will start at 10 am at Pope's Grotto followed by a visit to St Mary's Church in Twickenham to view Pope's final resting place and memorials to his parents.
Visitors can then have lunch in the many bars and restaurants in picturesque Church Street or at Marble Hill's Coach House Café (please note lunch is not included in the ticket price).
In the afternoon, you will enjoy a guided tour of Henrietta Howard's neo-Palladian Villa and end the experience with a visit to the recently-restored garden grotto, finishing at about 3:15 pm. There are three offerings from April to August. Tickets cost £35 and there's a timetable for the day in each event's listing on TicketSource.

We love the web resource 'At the Circulating Library'! Our latest blog about Margaret Leicester Warren's 1860 review of Cranford wouldn't be half as interesting without it! @3VolumeNovel @shelvesofbooks @TableyHouse

Instead of writing, I am being an art detective🕵️♂️. I am thrilled as I discovered a Martin Archer Shee painting wrongly sold in 2013 by Sotheby's as the work of John Opie in NYC 1st Feb 2013. The print on the left was from 1825 catalogue of @TableyHouse artworks by J. Young. 🥳

Broadside ballad 'The Northern Ditty' features in 'Sonilluminations', a sound installation by researcher and composer Patrick John Jones, inspired by the collections.
Visit the soundscape at the Rylands until Saturday 27 July, including this catchy 19th century ballad. 🎶
