St Margarets, London

[n 1] Land and buildings closer to Richmond Bridge than the eponymous railway station are, traditionally distinctly, known as East Twickenham.

Specifically it is named after a large house together with appurtenant land of an 18th-century Scottish-New Jerseyan aristocrat, rather than a church which began in 1930.

This refers to a minor civil war of the last three weeks of June or so – a power struggle between the crown (ministry of Henry III of England) and the aristocracy, a few uprisings later cemented into constitutional change led by de Montford.

[3] The net result of the uprisings was a settled parliamentary system enabling limits to the monarch's powers to tax and departure from such edicts as the Provisions of Oxford and Westminster.

A memorial was unveiled in April 2017 to the 6000 Belgian refugees many of the adults of whom lived and worked locally during the First World War.

[7] St Margarets Fair is held each July in Moormead Park by the River Crane, a channel from its larger stream, on the western limits.

[11] In recent years the house has been redeveloped by Octagon Developments, with the former chapel and coachhouse converted to private homes.

The place represents the north-west third of Saint Stephen's and the eastern two-fifths of All Souls, if the Crane is taken as the northern limit.

Twickenham Studios are at the heart of the village and have recently announced plans to expand their presence in St Margarets.

In modern station-centric terms St Margarets is quite narrowly cut through, as to about 2⁄5, by the busy Chertsey Road (A316), which connects central London to the M3 motorway.
