Objectives

Turner's House is a charitable trust that every day tries to engage the community and share the history of J.M.W. Turner, one of the greatest English painters, in Twickenham. Sandycombe Lodge was built by 1813 to the designs of England’s great landscape painter, J.M.W. Turner; working here as his own architect to create a quiet retreat for himself, away from the pressures of the London art world.   

Activities
