John Tweddell (1769 -1799) was a classical scholar and Philhellene. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was elected a fellow of that College in 1792. In the same year, Tweddell published “Prolusiones Juveniles”, a study in Greek, Latin and English. He wished to become a diplomat and study the culture and institutions of European and Asiatic nations. With this objective, Tweddell started his travels in 1795. He first travelled to Germany, and subsequently to Switzerland, Russia and other regions of Eastern Europe. The letters to his family and friends, in which he related the experiences of his voyage, testify to his deep erudition.
While in Istanbul, Tweddell met French artist Preaux and convinced him to travel with him to Athens in order to draw “not only every temple and every archway, but every stone and every inscription, with the most scrupulous fidelity...”. Tweddell however died of a fever four months after his arrival at Athens, at the age of thirty years old. At his request, he was buried at the temple of Hephaestus. Lord Byron and his friends extracted a marble slab from the Parthenon reliefs and placed it over Tweddell's tomb. Robert Walpole composed the epitaph in Greek. Lord Elgin requested that Tweddell's collections be sent to him. When all the journals and drawings of the deceased were nowhere to be found, his brother, Reverend R. Tweddell, accused Elgin of stealing them. He later edited and published what had been left of his brother's writings. The collections were never traced.

İngiliz asıllı arkeoloji tutkunu ve antik yunan edebiyatı uzmanı John Tweddell (1769-1799) Cambridge'de Trinity College'de eğitim görür. Nitekim 1792 yılında Trinity College üyeliğine seçilir. Aynı yıl içinde ‘Prolusiones Juveniles’ adlı eserini, yunanca, latince ve ingilizce olarak yayınlar. Tweddell diplomat mesleğine girerek Avrupa ve Asya'da yaşayan halkların örf ve toplumsal kurumlarını incelemek istiyordu. Bu nedenle 1795 yılında seyahat etmeye başlayıp önce Almanya, ardından İsviçre, Rusya ve doğu Avrupa'nın başka yörelerini gezer. Gezi maceralarını anlattğı ve ailesiyle dostlarına yolladığı mektuplarda sahip olduğu bilgi hazinesini gözler önüne sermektedir.
Tweddell İstanbul'dayken Fransız asıllı sanatçı Preaux ile tanışıp onu kendisiyle birlikte Atina'ya seyahat edip antik harabelerin "tek tek her taşını ve her yazıtı" tüm ayrıntılarıyla kaydetmeye ikna eder. Ne var ki Tweddell Atina'ya varışından 4 ay sonra yüksek ateşten dolayı 30 yaşında ölür. Kendi isteği üzerine Thision'daki İfestos (Hephaistos) tapınağında gömülür. Lord Byron başka kişilerle birlikte Parthenon tapınağından mermer bir taş koparıp mezarına yerleştirir, R. Walpole ise kitabesini yazar. Lord Elgin Tweddell'in sahip olduğu koleksiyonları edinmek ister. Merhumun günlükleri ve eskizleri yokolunca kardeşi rahip R. Tweddell bu yitiş için Elgin'i sorumlu tutar. R. Tweddell daha sonra kardeşinden arda kalan yazıların kitap haline gelmesi işini üstlenir. Tweddell'in koleksiyonlarının bulunduğu yer hiçbirzaman saptanamamıştır.

This was a picture of one of the Chinese garden houses shot from across the pond. I really liked the reflections of the blooming trees in the water as well as the detail of the doors and windows of the house.

Inside Pitzhanger Manor
Pitzhanger Manor was bought by Sir John Soane (1753-1837) in 1800. He demolished most of George Dance's building but retained the southern extension, replacing the main block with one of his own design. In the same year Soane employed John Haverfield to produce new designs for the grounds which were delivered by September 1800 (guidebook). The new mansion was used to display Soane's art collection and for entertaining, his Lincoln's Inn house being retained as the family residence. By 1809 Soane was only occasionally at Pitzhanger and in June of that year he instructed James Christie to sell the house and the estate. Once again the property passed through a series of owners until, in 1843, it was sold to the politician Spencer Walpole and became the home of his four unmarried sisters-in-law, the daughters of the Rt Hon Spencer Perceval. Prior to the death aged ninety-five of the last-surviving Perceval sister, Frederika, in May 1900, her nephew, Sir Spencer Walpole, had begun negotiations with Ealing District Council for the sale of the house and the estate. The sale negotiations were completed early in January 1900 and, following Miss Perceval's death, alterations were carried out. The then Borough Surveyor, Charles Jones, was responsible for the designs for the alterations to the house and grounds and in April 1902 the building was opened as a public library. At the time of the sale, the property was variously referred to as Manor House Park (Middlesex County Times, 19 May 1900) and Perceval Park (Middlesex County Times, 28 July 1900). The name Walpole Park was adopted after communications between the last owner and Ealing Borough Council towards the end of 1900.
Further major alterations to the library building were completed by 1940 and then, in 1984, the Central Library was moved to new premises in Ealing. The following year a continuing programme of restoration and repair to both the mansion and the grounds began. The restored manor house was reopened as a museum and centre for cultural events in the late 1990s. The grounds continue (2000) in the ownership of the London Borough of Ealing.
