Original wooden water pipe from Hampton Court Palace
This was donated to Gerald Heath between 1960-1970
The wooden waterpipe dates from the time of Henry VIlI when he had water transported to Hampton Court Palace for baths. It was from the right hand side of the Palace.

When I do school assemblies about the Twickenham Museum the kids love it when I bring along a horn that once belonged to a woolly rhinoceros from the ice age! If you would like me to come to your school and do an assembly on the Twickenham Museum, please let me know!

A reminder that we have our JMW Turner & West London display on at present. Turner lived locally at Brentford, Isleworth & Hammersmith. Between 1813 & 1826 he and ‘old dad’ lived at Sandycombe Lodge which Turner designed with the help of the architect, Sir John Soane.
