Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson (1809-1892) was the Poet Laureate during much of Queen Victoria’s reign. Tennyson moved to Chapel House, Twickenham in 1840. In 1850, Tennyson reached the pinnacle of his career, publishing his masterpiece, "In Memoriam A.H.H.". Later the same year, he was appointed Poet Laureate, succeeding William Wordsworth. Tennyson moved to the Isle of Wight in 1853 and on to West Sussex in 1869.

John Rocque map of Richmond and surroundings (1750s) John Rocque was one of the most remarkable and dedicated cartographers ever to map London. Working in the mid eighteenth century, his dedication to the task was impressive, mapping most of Middlesex and parts of Surrey, Kent and Essex down to field level. In central London, he took detail to a new level.

As World War One opened, Germany invaded hitherto-neutral Belgium causing an influx of Belgian refugees. Both Richmond-upon-Thames and Twickenham across the river opened their homes and their hearts to the refugees. For four years between 1914 and 1918, these two communities became a little ’Belgium beyond Belgium’.
