Friends, the other day I was fortunate enough to have dinner in the local landmark of Bushy House.
A view of Bushy House taken from Bushy Park this February.
At dinner, many people asked me – as a local – questions about the building which I was completely unable answer.
Wikipedia has a few words, but the best source by far is a history compiled by Peter Foster and Edward Pyatt for NPL in 1976. And by chance I came across a copy of this document while sorting through the library of my late father-in-law. And since I couldn’t see a copy on-line, I thought I would post a pdf of the document here. I do hope it is useful to some local Teddington historians.

In case I hadn’t boasted about it before, Richard Tetley Glazebrook was my grandmother’s uncle, and the first president of the NPL and of the IoP.

Keep the legacy alive!
