Welcome to TW11

Are you looking for an effective way to promote your business?

TW Mag for Strawberry Hill and TW11 for Teddington are each distributed to over 5,500 selected homes and businesses every month.

With rates to suit all budgets – we can also help create artwork

J ANUARY is here and I hope you had a lovely break over Christmas. It is a great time to take a look ahead and get

planning for 2015. As a virgo, I have a penchant for getting out

the multi-coloured pens and stationery then going crazy with plans, schedules and lovely lists. With a nice clean year ahead it is just too tempting. But experience tells me that the best laid plans mean very little unless followed up by some affirmative action. We are all familiar with unused gym membership syndrome. So my New Year’s resolution of ‘just do it!’ is simple, pithy and for some reason surprisingly difficult to achieve. I wish you luck with yours.

I hope you enjoy this edition of TW11 and look forward to seeing you again month.

Teddington Lights Up

ANOTHER UNUSUAL STREET name in Teddington is Udney as in Udney Park Road. The mystery man was Robert Fullerton Udney was born in Udny Castle, Aberdeenshire (in Scotland they have dispensed with the ‘e’) in 1725. He was the second son of James Udney and fourteenth in succession to the property. He became a very

successful West Indian merchant and built up a considerable fortune in his dealings. His brother, John, had entered the diplomatic service and had risen to the rank of British Consul at Leghorn and Venice. The Udneys have a complicated family tree with many James, John and Robert entries.Already living in Mayfair, Robert decided upon a country retreat and acquired a house on the corner of Teddington High Street and Kingston Lane in 1789. The architect, William Niven, who lived in the house for eight years, described it thus: ‘In Robert Udney’s time the land in connection with the house is said to have extended to the river (Thames) and to have consisted of some 70 acres. ...It was a good specimen of the pleasure-house which it was fashionable to build in the last century within a

drive of London.’

Writing in 1984, local historian Paddy Ching challenged this : ‘In the Enclosure Award of 1800, Udney owned a house, offices, yard and gardens, both freehold and copyhold, of about 3.5 acres, which was on the corner of Kingston Lane and the High Street; a garden on the opposite corner of Kingston Lane and the High Street, 16 perch; 2 houses and about 0.75 acre of land on the west side of Watt’s Lane; a piece of land with a summerhouse in Bleachfield Meadow on the banks of the Thames, copyhold, about 4 acres and 3 allotments of freehold land in Southfield totalling 11 acres. The total amount of land was

just over 17 acres, not the 70 acres reported by Mr Niven.’

He was married twice; first to Mary Hougham on 26th October 1749, by whom they had a daughter, also Mary Hougham and second in 1787 to

Martha Jordon. We are not sure what happened to his first wife but Martha Udney certainly caught the eye of his neighbour, Horace Walpole. In a letter to Mary Berry on 29th July 1790, Walpole wrote ‘I have seen Mrs Udney. O! She is charming, looks so sensible, and unluckily, so modest. Mr U---- looks as old and decrepit as I do.’ Given his own persuasion, this was high praise indeed; the letter went on to say “... At my return I found a note from Mrs U---- to invite me to a concert on Sunday.’ A further letter of 6th September 1795 states ‘I sent the U-----s half a buck. They wanted me to partake of it, which, luckily, I declined; and well it was I did, for they had invited that surfeiting flatterer, Lady E------, and such a hogshead of sweet sauce would have overloaded any stomach that has not a royal digestion.’ Walpole was clearly becoming very possessive of his friendship with Mrs Udney and when he heard that the miniaturist artist, Richard Cosway, was staying with the Udneys he wrote that ‘Cosway romanced with his usual vivacity.’

At some point in time, Robert started upon his art collection. His brother, John, as British Consul in Italy, was ideally placed to act as Robert’s agent in the purchase of many paintings by the Italian old masters. In fact John should have taken a good part of the credit for assembling this collection which became internationally well known. Word certainly reached the ears of George III and on more than one occasion he and

Notice Board

25th – 31st JanuaryEquus by Peter ShafferSunday 4pm, evenings 7.45pmFor its first major production in 2015, TTC is staging Peter Shaffer’s controversial play Equus. This explosive drama took critics and audiences by storm when it was first staged in 1973, and rapidly became a world-wide sensation. With its onstage nudity and its unflinching exploration of violence and psycho-sexual themes, it still retains the power to shock us today. Yet now, Equus also enjoys the status of a contemporary classic.

Essentially a psychological thriller, the play tells, in flashback, the story of a disturbed youth, whose dangerous obsession with horses leads him to blind six of them with a metal spike. A psychiatrist, Martin Dysart, struggles to understand the motivation for Alan’s brutality, but is increasingly drawn into Alan’s web and eventually questions his own sanity purpose.

Wednesday 24th – Saturday 31st JanuaryUncle Vanyaby Anton Chekhov, in a version by Christopher

Hampton directed by Stephen Oliver

Uncle Vanya is arguably the first great modernist

drama, full of ambiguities and contradictions,

delicately balancing the tragic and the absurd,

the farcical and the hauntingly poetic. The

adaptation is by Oscar-winning playwright

Christopher Hampton. It has is a series of

ludicrously bungled attempts at murder and

suicide and adultery. Perhaps these failures are

what makes it feel the saddest and most truthful

of Chekhov’s great

tragi-comic masterpieces.

Newland House Builds New Pre-Prep

The face of Newland House School will be transformed in summer 2016 when it opens

the doors to a new and highly sustainable Pre-Prep school on the site immediately next door to the Prep (main) School on Waldegrave Park.

Newland House has delivered education to

children from 4 to 13 years old from local families

for more than 100 years and the main school has

occupied the present site since 1945. However,

the Pre-Prep is currently located on a detached

site in an adapted Victorian property at the

end of Waldegrave Park. Its relocation next to

the main school, will unite the two parts of the

school for the first time in more than forty years.

The new purpose-built premises will also allow

the school to offer additional places in Reception

from September 2016 onwards.

The new school will be created with a carbon

neutral footprint. The school is located in a

residential area so the design will compliment

the neighbouring architecture whilst integrating

contemporary materials that utilises the

latest technology.

The Pre-Prep will provide an ergonomic and

sustainable teaching environment with key

design features that include:

• Sustainable building design, construction

and operation

• Maximised outside play space.

• Bespoke and flexible resource rooms for art,

music and educational support.

• A state of the art library with access to a

library garden.

HAVING MADE IT through the Christmas madness and seen off the shortest day of the

year we can now look forwards to the Equinox in March and with it lighter days and warmer weather. The tacky tinsel has been taken down and in its place perhaps a new bit of sparkle can be introduced to add some glamour and modernity to your home.

The cutting edge lighting designers in the UK and Europe have been hard at work re-modelling the traditional forms of decorative lighting. For a while we were all obsessed with down lights throughout the house but they do have their limitations. They create a stark aesthetic and a fairly continuous type of light source. The old fashioned pendants and wall lights did have their place in creating a special area and with it a decorative feature. Down lights are great if used in conjunction with some special feature lighting and dimmers in order to create an optimal lighting arrangement. This will create lighting scene options that suit the morning and daytime when you need task lighting rather than general lighting, the evening when you require bright lights for dinner or reading and also mood lighting for entertaining or relaxing.

Bagues Bronzes de France has been a traditional chandelier maker for more than 100 years and they have come up with a stunning re-make of

the chandelier from antique bronze and Alabaster called Alabaster Cubes. The alabaster gives a wonderful 20’s luxurious feel but the minimal design and antiqued metal create a sculptural pendant with a great amount of texture and striking form.

Copper and Silk is a small London based company that make handmade lamps, light fittings and shades. They sell traditional silk shades in the

Bright Sparks most stunning contemporary colour combinations and have some amazing, almost constructivist wall lights such as the Percher. The lights are incredibly simple but elegant and can be made in all the fashionable finishes pewter, antique brass or whatever you choose. The design emphasises the beauty of the filament, the bulb, the fixing, the bracket, the cable in fact every working part of the light in a simple but extremely elegant way. Cox of London is another London based furniture maker who design incredible quirky organic pieces and one of their new lighting designs is the Ferro Vitro. Again a contemporary take on the chandelier the design has modernist influences, in particular a cubist feel to it. The pockets of glass are hand blown into the cage like structures and when lit, project striking linear light and shadows. The frame work is wrought in mild steel and traditionally patinated and lacquered to a deep black-bronze. You can choose the glass colours to create unique patterns on the ceiling and walls.

It’s great to see so many small British businesses coming up with some really dynamic designs in an area of the design world that I feel has been under developed. Finally we are seeing some amazing decorative lighting that is stunning and modern!

Teddington Lights Up

ANOTHER UNUSUAL STREET name in Teddington is Udney, as in Udney Park Road. The mystery

man Robert Fullerton Udney was born in Udny Castle, Aberdeenshire (in Scotland they have dispensed with the ‘e’) in 1725. He was the second son of James Udney and fourteenth in succession to the property. He became a very successful West Indian merchant and built up a considerable fortune in his dealings. His brother, John, had entered the diplomatic service and had risen to the rank of British Consul at Leghorn and Venice. The Udneys have a complicated family tree with many James, John and Robert entries.

Already living in Mayfair, Robert decided upon a country retreat and acquired a house on the corner of Teddington High Street and Kingston Lane in 1789. The architect, William Niven, who lived in the house for eight years, described it thus: ‘In Robert Udney’s time the land in connection with the house is said to have extended to the river (Thames) and to have consisted of some 70 acres. ...It was a good specimen of the pleasure-house which it was fashionable to build in the last century within a drive of London.’

Writing in 1984, local historian Paddy Ching challenged this: ‘In the Enclosure Award of 1800, Udney owned a house, offices, yard and gardens, both freehold and copyhold, of about 3.5 acres, which was on the corner of Kingston Lane and the High Street; a garden on the opposite corner of Kingston Lane and the High Street, 16 perch; 2 houses and about 0.75 acre of land on the west side of Watt’s Lane; a piece of land with a summerhouse in Bleachfield Meadow on the banks of the Thames, copyhold, about 4 acres and 3 allotments of freehold land in Southfield totalling 11 acres. The total amount of land was just over 17 acres, not the 70 acres reported by Mr Niven.’

He was married twice; first to Mary Hougham on 26th October 1749, by whom they had a daughter, also Mary Hougham and second in 1787 to

Martha Jordon. We are not sure what happened to his first wife but Martha Udney certainly caught the eye of his neighbour, Horace Walpole. In a letter to Mary Berry on 29th July 1790, Walpole wrote ‘I have seen Mrs Udney. O! She is charming, looks so sensible, and unluckily, so modest. Mr U---- looks as old and decrepit as I do.’ Given his own persuasion, this was high praise indeed; the letter went on to say “... At my return I found a note from Mrs U---- to invite me to a concert on Sunday.’ A further letter of 6th September 1795 states ‘I sent the U-----s half a buck. They wanted me to partake of it, which, luckily, I declined; and well it was I did, for they had invited that surfeiting flatterer, Lady E------, and such a hogshead of sweet sauce would have overloaded any stomach that has not a royal digestion.’ Walpole was clearly becoming very possessive of his friendship with Mrs Udney and when he heard that the miniaturist artist, Richard Cosway, was staying with the Udneys he wrote that ‘Cosway romanced with his usual vivacity.’

At some point in time, Robert started upon his art collection. His brother, John, as British Consul in Italy, was ideally placed to act as Robert’s agent in the purchase of many paintings by the Italian old masters. In fact John should have taken a good part of the credit for assembling this collection which became internationally well known. Word certainly reached the ears of George III and on more than one occasion he and

Queen Charlotte visited the house for breakfast, en route to Windsor and to view the paintings. On leaving on one winter’s morning, the king is reputed to have said ‘I will put on my great-coat Udney, for it is better to sweat than to cough eh – better to sweat than cough.’

Given that the art collection was internationally known, it is very strange that we do not know exactly where the gallery was sited. Clearly it must have been a large expanse of building; was it purpose built or was some part of the house converted? Niven made the following suggestion ‘Upon the brickwork of the house itself were the initials I.K. and the date 1768. The house gave one the idea that it had been built more with a view to entertaining than for residence, the bedrooms being rather inadequate compared with the reception rooms which measured about 30ft by 20ft. The drawing room was on the first floor, a handsome room 14 ft high... Beyond the drawing room was an elliptical room with domed ceiling, which probably served as the ante-room to the picture gallery, which seems to have formed a west wing and was taken down apparently about 1825.’ A different account by Robert Fuller stated that the picture gallery was a separate building, standing alone, on the opposite side of the High Street (perhaps Udney’s other land to the west of Watt’s Lane). Whichever was the true location, we will probably never know.

One of the Mary Udneys became under-governess to Princess Charlotte; we do not know for sure which one – Niven feels that it was the daughter

but Ching is equally sure that it must have been the mother. Whichever Mary was involved gave rise to the local legend that the Royal carriage was often seen on the street of Teddington carrying Mary and her charge.

Robert Udney died at his Mayfair house in Hertford Street in January 1802. The Gentleman’s Magazine ran an obituary on him which described him as ‘a gentleman much distinguished for his taste in the fine arts, and ranked with our best judges of painting ... and possessed a fine collection of pictures.’ After his death the art collection was put up for sale and was auctioned at Christie’s. Unfortunately it was a bad time marketwise with prices being very depressed and sold for far less than the values their new owner, Sir William Cunynghame – Udney’s son-in-law, had put on them, to the extent that the executors went to court on the issue and the case ran the full course of the law.

The estate remained intact under Cunynghame for the next fifty years but after then, parts of it were disposed of. The major part of its dispersal was in 1920 when the local council acted on the government initiative to build ‘Homes for Heroes’ and the estates between Kingston Lane and Fairfax Road were developed.

Robert Udney remains something of a mystery man, not even worthy of an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

Tim Syrad runs the Teddington Wine Society teddingtonwinesociety.co.uk @winemantim

2015 IS GUARANTEED to be a fantastic year for wine drinkers everywhere. Why, I hear you ask.

Quite simply, the UK is awash with choice and quality. This country is a highly desirable market place for wines from all over the world and as a result, the wine buyers for any merchant, supermarket or restaurant can be very choosy about who they list, leading to in theory, quality at every level.

As ever, at the start of the New Year, I will be gazing into my seething crystal fermentation vat to analyse what the future might hold...

CLOUDY BAYThis is an absolute certainty. Cloudy Bay

celebrates its 30 year anniversary this year. An extraordinary tale of amazing Sauvignon Blanc – foisting a dramatically intense style

onto traditional Sancerre wine drinkers. I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin Judd, legendary winemaker at Cloudy Bay for 25 years, back in November in Marlborough. Understated, concise, very laid back and straight to the point, Kevin was responsible for the wine that launched Marlborough from nowhere to New Zealand’s most important wine region and is without a doubt one of the world most talented winemakers. His new venture, Greywacke, has allowed him to source some of the best fruit in the region and make some quite scintillating Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Pinot Noir. He is also a fabulous photographer. Look out for his book Wine Dogs – a pictorial review of winery canines.

THE RISE OF CHINAA little known fact about China is that it has three times as much land planted to vine

than Australia and is sixth in the international league of wine production. As you might expect, there is a huge diversity of terroir giving an extraordinary choice to viticulturists and winemakers alike. There has been massive investment in the industry both from local companies as well as big international entities and the country is awash with winemakers from all over the world. Main stream grape varieties are being planted but there is increasing research and development into Chinese indigenous varietals which could give China a unique edge in the future. Where is the wine I hear you cry? Well, it is still early days. Vineyards are still coming into maturity, expertise is being developed and there is still work in progress with regards to wine quality. However, enormous progress is being made and 2015 will see more wines being exported.

RIESLING ‘If we changed its name we would sell a lot more’ as said by Kevin Judd. The eternal quest from wine lovers everywhere. Spread the word, spread the love – Riesling is good. I dare everyone to make that leap of faith and try Rieslings from Australia, New Zealand, Alsace and yes… even Germany. Every conceivable style is available ranging from bone dry to lusciously sweet. Fabulous with fish and white meats, as an aperitif, with cheese or dessert. No grape is more versatile. Surely 2015 is the year we ditch the Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc and start drinking Riesling!

ENGLISH CHEESESGet to know them, they are out there. Waiting for you in Teddington Cheese. The most amazing selection of artisanal and delicious cheeses from all over the Isle. Goat, cow, ewe – the choice is yours. They deserve a wider audience.

Happy New Year!

Councillor’s Update

roads by offering grants for buying air filters - something Cllr Stephen Knight AM has called for before.

Another way to help locally is through promoting the reduction of car speeds, and thereby encourage cyclists and pedestrians on our roads. Lower speeds reduce the number of serious collisions. Knowing that traffic speed is curtailed reduces in turn the fear that stops people from taking the plunge and adopting alternative means of transport, for example encouraging their kids to walk or cycle to school. This of course helps the other sceptre haunting the public health landscape... obesity. Concern about road speeds in various parts of Teddington is one of the most common issues to be raised with us as ward councillors.

One of my first meetings of the year is going to be with the 20’s plenty campaign to discuss how we might forward the campaign in Teddington. A 20mph zone for the whole of Teddington? What do you think?

Teddington Councillors hold a walk-in surgery on the first Saturday of every month at Teddington Baptist Church between 10.30 and 12 noon. Please come along if you have any council-related questions or issues.

SOME GOOD NEWS to start the new year: Teddington Station is to receive funding to

improve accessibility for all rail users. Hooray! This is something we have been campaigning for as ward councillors alongside Vince Cable MP for many many years, so we are delighted that there is now a clear commitment to provide lifts in the near future. I seem to remember referring, in the very first TW11 article that I wrote, to the pain of having limited crossing points over the railway when walking around with a buggy. What an improvement this will be, and of course not just for buggy access but for all passengers with limited mobility, those with heavy luggage or bicycles. We will also be pressing for the works to include the restoration of a public toilet at the station.

Adding this great leap forward to Cllr Martin Elengorn’s work in getting the recent Grade II listing of the station building, and the great celebration we had for the 150th anniversary, we are well on the way to having a station in the heart of the Teddington that we can really be proud of. Note to local businesses – this could be a good year for ‘I Love Teddington Station’ memorabilia.

On a less upbeat note, I feel compelled to return to a theme covered on these pages a number of times now: air pollution. I note that Parisians have taken a very important step, in that the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has announced that she wants to ban diesels from the city by 2020. On y va! Boris’s ‘ultra low emission zone’ scheme will simply require drivers of older diesel vehicles to pay a £12.50 daily charge to drive into the central zone from 2020.

A recent report from the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee urges the government to take the issue of air pollution more seriously, advising that no new schools be built near existing air pollution hotspots such as main roads and that existing schools sited nearpollution hotspots to be fitted with air filtration systems. Here in Richmond upon Thames we should be assisting schools close to main
