Twickenham Museum, Local history museum in Twickenham, England
Twickenham Museum is located in a Grade II listed Georgian building from 1720 at The Embankment, facing St Mary's Parish Church and the River Thames. Its collections document how settlements developed across Twickenham, Whitton, Teddington, and the Hamptons through exhibitions, archives, and objects.
The museum was founded in 1993 to preserve and share the story of settlements in the region. Its collections trace developments from early settlement through to how the area has changed over time.
The museum shows how rugby shaped the local area through photographs and objects connected to the world's first rugby stadium. You can see here how this sport became part of the region's identity and mattered to people's daily lives.
The museum is free to visit during regular opening hours from Friday to Sunday. Additional research materials are available in the library if you want to dig deeper into local history.
The museum displays an exhibition about Frank Edwards, a soldier who played football during the 1915 Battle of Loos. This story links the reality of war to the human moments people found even during one of history's darkest conflicts.
