a village and parish of England, Middlesex, on the left bank of the Thames, opposite Richmond, about 12 miles S.W. of the post-office, London. The village is irregularly laid out, but it has some fine villas and beautiful scenery. Its chief interest arises from its association with the poet Pope, who had a villa here, where he spent the last thirty years of his life. The church, a plain brick building with a tower, stands near the river, and contains the monument of his parents, erected by the poet, and his own by Bishop Warburton. Twickenham has another established church, Independent, and Methodist places of worship, national and other schools. Pope's villa has been destroyed, and a modern house erected on its site; but Strawberry Hill, the residence of Horace Walpole, remains with its curious mixture of castellated and Gothic architecture. Here, too, is Orleans house, the residence for some time of Louis Philippe, while Duke of Orleans. The parish of Twickenham contains powder and oil mills. Pop. 6254.
