Lost Treasures of Strawberry Hill
Hear a talk at the next Brentford and Chiswick Local History Society meeting
The Brentford and Chiswick Local History Society are hosting their next talk on 21 January, 7.30pm at the Chiswick Memorial Club, Bourne Place, W4 2EL.
It will be an illustrated talk by Michael Snodin, Trustee of Strawberry Hill and co-curator of the exhibition which has brought Horace Walpole’s extraordinary collection back to Twickenham. Paintings, sculpture and rare objects were dispersed after Walpole’s death. Years of careful research have traced them and some are now to be found in their original locations inside Walpole’s ‘little gothic castle’.
The exhibition runs until 24 February and tickets can be bought online.
The Society's talks usually take place on the third Monday of the month. They meet at the Chiswick Memorial Club starting at 7.30pm. Remember that Afton House does not open until 7pm.
