Dear Resident, Happily leaving the January blues well behind us, this month we’re delving back through Barnes’ history books to uncover the roots of St Mary’s Church on page 12. Meanwhile, Amelia Bunday speaks to Lars Tharp about the musical antics of Barnes resident George Frideric Handel in anticipation of the Barnes Music Festival pre-event, Strumpets and Nightingales, on page 15. The Journal is also taking a keen interest in the wonderful world of wellness – Elizabeth Finney chats with Samantha Trinder about Bhuti, the new eco wellbeing escape opening in Richmond on page 20, and don’t forget to check out our healthy eateries round-up in our food and drink news from page 16. And finally, we sit down with local comedian Dominic Holland to talk about his work with children’s charity Momentum on page 25. So sit back, flip a pancake or two and scan the issue for some half term inspiration.

for the birds Local artist Raph Thomas talks about his latest series of work, Birdland, which will be shown at an exhibition this month elizabeth finney What materials do you work with?
what is your creative process?
My favourite artistic material is definitely acrylic paint. It is a fantastic medium to apply and work with. Without dilution it usually dries in minutes, allowing me to build up thick textures. It is also durable and I enjoy combining lots of different materials with it. In some of my most recent paintings, I’ve been combining acrylic and ink with glue and emulsion paint to build up a distressed background effect.
I like to photograph a subject and work from that basis. At the moment I am very into textured backgrounds and I like to coat them with a mix of different materials to see how they interact with each other differently. I usually isolate myself for a few days while working on a painting so as not to break up the consistency of an image. It can be difficult to pick up the exact same style of painting if you put it on hold for a while.
Why birds? I had been working on a lot of paintings that had a narrative behind them before I started. I wanted to make something thematically neutral or positive but also colourful and detailed. I have always liked birds, especially parrots, despite getting bitten by one as a child! They look like little works of art themselves – their colouration can be so garish and unsubtle.
Military Macaw by Raph Thomas
free time and now it is my passion.
Which artist inspires you?
what inspired the Birdland series?
I was inspired by wildlife in south west London before I started the series of bird paintings. I like to run around Bushy Park and along the Thames – there are a lot of beautiful areas near me, which, unfortunately for local wildlife, has an invasive growing parakeet population. They look bizarrely flamboyant against English wildlife.

did you always want to be an artist? I don’t think so. I was not particularly confident in my ability to paint before I went to university where I studied ancient history. For a time I thought I wanted to write. However, I found myself always painting when I had
The first artist that really inspired me to draw was M.C. Escher because I found his work with perspective absorbing and his technical ability mind-blowing.

What lies
beneath Barnes expert Maisie Brown sheds some light on the extraordinary history of St Mary’s Church and its surrounding manor elizabeth finney
U
ntil 1978, St Mary’s Church in Barnes was decidedly Victorian – daubed with 19th century monuments and decorations such as a glass floor mosaic and stone angels, it seated 950 people having been enlarged in 1852. However, on 8 June 1978, the church was savaged by a vicious fire – the suspected result of an electrical fault in the organ – which

gutted the whole building. However, when residents and experts alike started to pick through the ruins, they uncovered an additional few centuries of history hidden beneath the most recent layers of plaster and panelling. Sitting in the oldest remaining section of the building with resident expert Maisie Brown and Andrew Summers, the chair of the Friends of St Mary’s Barnes, they
direct my attention to the wall behind me. “There are some traces of the original wall painting – they tried to make it look like it was made of stone by painting red lines like bricks,” Maisie begins. “The church has been here since at least 1100 – once upon a time Barnes was part of the manor of Mortlake, which belonged to the Archbishop of Canterbury. King Athelstan carved a bit off to give to the Dean and Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral in 925 and made it the manor of Barnes.” With a population of approximately 50-60 people and just 10 families documented in the Domesday Book in 1086, Barnes was a small agricultural village. Its residents prospered as power gradually shifted to London in the 12th century by supplying food, initially corn and fish, expanding to rarer vegetables such as carrots, peas and green beans in the 1600s, to the markets of the young capital city. “It was cut off, everything was done by water – the watermen were very prominent in Barnes,” says Maisie. Notably, Barnes had more to offer than just market vegetables, as Andrew points out: “Before that was the visit from the Archbishop of Canterbury,

Steven Langton, on his way back from Runnymede after the sealing of the Magna Carta in 1215 – that’s when the chancel was added. It would have been a long journey from Runnymede, and as he had a manor at Mortlake it’s likely he stayed there.” This would have put Barnes on the map, and in 1485 Henry II added the tower. “I think it was probably a tithe barn initially, until we split from Mortlake,” Maisie says thoughtfully. The manor house, Barn Elms, attracted an array of prominent names throughout its existence. “Sir Francis Walsingham, who was secretary of state to Queen Elizabeth I lived there, and she came three times to meet with him with her entourage,” Maisie tells me matterof-factly. “Walsingham wanted to get rid of Mary Queen of Scots because of the threat to Elizabeth I, and they took the order for Mary’s execution from Barnes.” Aside from other well-known tenants such as George Frideric Handel, William Cobbett and poet Abraham Cowley, the property became the main residence of the Hoare family in the 1750s. “The Hoares added two wings to Barn Elms,” Maisie recalls. “They knocked a hole out
“It cannot be denied that Barnes’ history is as rich and mysterious as any other part of London” of the wall of the little chapel that was here and built an extension, a family chapel and the crypt down below.” Approximately 15 members of the Hoare family are still buried beneath St Mary’s. Over the years, the Hoares made their mark on both town and church, building a chapel for their servants and a family chapel with a fireplace in 1777 – the same year 54 people died from a smallpox epidemic in Barnes. Barnes is also known for being a hub of creativity. Following in the musical footsteps of Handel, Gustav Holst moved to Barnes in 1909 to be the director of Music at St Paul’s School – a role later filled in 1925 by fellow composer Herbert Howells. “During World War Two the back of his house was bombed out,” Andrew tells me, visibly concerned at the idea that Howells narrowly avoided
the blast. “He moved a few roads away and never went back. Luckily he was out that evening – he could easily have been one of the casualties. But he lived in Barnes the rest of his life.” “We were hit pretty hard by both of the world wars. Some 353 men and one woman from Barnes died, which was a lot at the time,” Maisie recalls. “Mostly young chaps from the Westfields, which was once the more run-down area of Barnes – they all joined up together.” During World War Two 114 members of the armed forces and 59 Barnes civilians died, many of the latter as a result of a bomb that landed by the Holy Trinity Church, which caused a block of flats to fall onto a surface shelter. It is said that the Germans were aiming for a munitions factory in Mortlake, and Maisie informs me of a rumour that went around that Joachim von Ribbentrop, who was Hitler’s foreign secretary, had visited Barnes at some point. It cannot be denied that Barnes’ history is as rich and mysterious as any other part of London. From the brief royal and holy encounters, to the medley of musical masterminds settling in this relatively peaceful district, these carefully pieced together records are few and far between. Coming around full circle in our conversation, I ask Maisie if there are any records of why the 12th century St Mary’s was covered up in the first place. “We’re very short of records in Barnes. The legend is that during the Peasant’s Revolt they all broke into churches and burnt records.” Smiling, she hints that maybe the fire in 1978 wasn’t such a bad thing. Considering the extensive archaeological investigation that followed and the astonishing amount of information it gleaned from the town’s past, I’m inclined to agree.

Handel’s Happening
Antiques Roadshow presenter, acclaimed historian and William Hogarth expert Lars Tharp talks about Strumpets and Nightingales, an evening dedicated to 18th century music, merriment and mastery amelia bunday
T
his year’s Barnes Music Festival is aptly dedicated to George Frideric Handel, who lodged intermittently at Barn Elms, and the other composers of Barnes. “It started with Handel, but he was followed on by people like Gustav Holst, Herbert Howells, Arthur Bliss and some more contemporary creatives such as Stephen Dodgson and Jim Parker, many of whom feature in the festival next month,” Andrew Summers, chairman of the festival, tells me keenly. In anticipation for the festival, Lars Tharp will be working with local musicians to paint a theatrical picture of 18th century London, taking note of the famous painter, William Hogarth. “We’re going to follow the two men as their careers advance and interweave – the climax of their working together comes across in two key moments in history,” Lars tells me animatedly. “One is Handel writing music for Vauxhall Gardens, and the other is when Hogarth gets involved with the Foundling Hospital.” Hogarth, born 1697, offered to decorate the new hospital with his own work in order to attract interest from the public. Soon afterwards,
Handel approached the governors, having already composed The Foundling Anthem for the institution, asking to hold a performance of The Messiah in the chapel. Clearly Handel and Hogarth had a similar mix of creativity and philanthropy. Handel’s first concert was a sellout, resulting in an annual performance of The Messiah. “Hogarth was in charge of all the art, Handel became in charge of all the music, and so finally these two men came together,” Lars says, pointing out that the first concert was so cramped
“There are some wonderful stories. Insults thrown, the odd duel” that ladies were asked not to wear hoops in their skirts, and gentlemen to leave their swords at home. The two masterminds had crossed paths before the Foundling Hospital, and that is

where Lars’ carefully-curated theatrics will conclude. “There are some wonderful stories. Insults thrown, the odd duel, and lots of accounts of this wonderful night at Vauxhall Gardens. Some of it quite salacious!” Lars laughs. Handel composed Music for the Royal Fireworks, while Hogarth provided paintings from his students at St. Martin’s Lane Academy. “Hogarth and Handel did intersect,” Lars tells me. “Handel is satirised by Hogarth in A Rake’s Progress – the second image shows Tom Rakewell receiving all these hangers-on. And in the left-hand corner you can see a gentleman with a quite big frame at the harpsicord
and it’s generally thought that that is Handel.” Though little is known about the intricate details of these gentlemen’s day-to-day lives, guests are invited to spend an evening in 18th century London, narrated by Lars and serenaded by Le Petit Orchestra, playing the likes of Lascia Ch’io Pianga, A Vauxhall Hornpipe, Eternal Source of Light, As Steals the Morn and Water Music on traditional 18th century instruments.

medium rare in your home. You will want beef that has been hung for a minimum of 28 days. This helps to tenderise the meat while letting the flavour mature. The beef should appear a deep red as opposed to a bright pink, with a creamy white fat and no tough lines of gristle visible. Deciding which cut to buy can be daunting – the fillet is known for its meltin-the-mouth texture, but does not hold the same depth of flavour as more robust cuts like the rump or the sirloin. Fat is flavour and a marbling of fat through the meat, which you will find in ribeye, keeps the steak moist while cooking. Begin with the steak at room temperature, and season heavily with salt and pepper immediately before cooking. Brown some butter in a fiercely hot pan and add the steak. Cooking times vary depending on the size of the steak, but for a 350g ribeye, allow around three minutes per side for a blushing medium rare. Towards the end of your cooking time, drop some thyme and garlic in to the butter and baste.

[LIFESTYLE] Review: In a frizz tizz
Words by Elizabeth Finney Settled in an comfy chair with some of my favourite big band hits playing in the background, there’s a cup of tea in my hand I’m and receiving an expert massage – heaven. Once I’ve been delicately pummelled into a state of happy oblivion, I have my hair washed with some delicious Aveda products before the Olaplex treatment is applied in two 20-minutes stages. This brandnew treatment repairs the hair shaft, banishes static and protects tresses from winter terrors. Afterwards, I sit back with a glass of bubbles while my hair is blow dried into soft waves. I feel an instant difference and I can honestly say this is my new favourite treatment.

Don’t let an injury put an end to your health and fitness Last month we noticed an influx of injuries after people embarked on overzealous New Year’s fitness resolutions and many of these injuries may have been preventable.

Brush up Revolutionary beauty brand Foreo is continuing to wow the beauty world with its forward-thinking inventions, and its latest addition is no different. It’s introduced the Issa Hybrid brush head to the original design, which is stronger on plaque due to the central bristles. The Issa toothbrush combines soft silicone with Sonic Pulse Technology to gently and effectively brush teeth and gums. The silicone bristles offer an entirely kind of squeaky clean – non-porous and flexible, they’re perfect for cracking down on plaque and reaching areas between teeth. With a range of intensity levels and cleverly-timed pulses to signify when to move to a different section of your mouth and when you can stop brushing, Foreo has covered every base. Easy to use and extremely kind to sensitive teeth, this tried-and-tested wonder-brush should be a staple in every household. An added bonus comes in the form of a simple travel pouch and the USB charger, making it the perfect travel companion. Issa Hybrid, £149, foreo.com

Improve spine and joint flexibility: Keeping the joints around the spine and ribcage strong makes it easier for your muscles to hold you in a good position. Gentle rotation stretches are like little injections of lubricant into your joints, so try the open book stretch and gentle lumbar rotations. Improve core strength: Good core strength gives us stability, which in turn helps prevent injuries and better manage existing long-term issues. Take a deep breath in, and on the out breath, draw your belly button in towards your spine and lift your pelvic floor muscles.

All Things Bright and Bhutiful The Journal speaks to Samantha Trinder, about her new wellness centre opening in Richmond this month elizabeth finney
T
he newest health trend is in fact one of the oldest – natural wellbeing by way of a good diet, meditation, yoga, a positive lifestyle and various holistic treatments is one of the oldest tricks in the book, only there’s no real trickster to be had. In a modern world growing evermore hectic, people are starting to look for a little peace and a way to manage their lifestyle. Pouring out a cup of camomile tea next to a roaring fire in The Bingham Hotel, Samantha Trinder says frankly: “The world needs a break – we’ve
20
“The world needs a break – we’ve never been more connected to each other but so disconnected from ourselves” never been more connected to each other but so disconnected from ourselves.” If anyone knows how hectic life can be, it’s Samantha. “I’ve always been interested in
wellbeing and health,” she tells me honestly. “My father died when I was 12 and then my mother went to a naturopathy clinic. It turned her life around – she stopped eating meat and started doing yoga – small changes, but it really had an impact.” Samantha has been running The Bingham since 2001, but trained to be a yoga instructor in 2012. “I’ve always been healthy, but working in hotels can be quite stressful,” she tells me, taking a sip of tea before continuing. “I suppose like a lot of people do in their 30s, I started to take more care of my health. I decided to become a yoga teacher and that changed everything.” The Bhuti wellbeing escape has been a long time coming – in fact Samantha had tried to lease the property twice before succeeding in 2015. “It’s perfect timing. Now the concept has evolved into a eco wellbeing escape rather than just a day spa,” she says with pride. “It’s needed now more than ever. Richmond, like the whole of London, is opening up. People are more concerned with their mind, body and soul.” “Bhuti essentially means wellbeing – and it has other
meanings like thriving or nourishing. The aim of the place is to provide a sanctuary.” As Samantha shows me around the site, I can see all her plans for a stunning refuge unfurl around me. “We’re working with a nutritionist to create the menu. It will be small, but changing daily using fresh seasonal produce. It will be tasty, but gluten-free, refined sugar-free and vegan.” Samantha’s approach involves looking back at the more traditional healing methods and lifestyle choices that have stood the test of time and bringing them into a modern environment. “We selected the various product houses based on them being as natural and organic as possible,” Samantha says. “Coincidentally they’re all British and they all have a wellbeing-based ethos.” Speaking knowledgeably, Samantha explains a little more about some of the historic aspects of natural medicine: “There is a traditional health system in India called Ayurveda medicine, which is one of the oldest holistic healing systems. It’s all about preventative health, so you don’t need a cure because you’re living healthily and balancing the body.” Full membership costs £170 per month or £2,000 per year and includes: unlimited yoga and Pilates classes, annual naturopathic consultation, exclusive monthly events and workshops, access to the members’ lounge and special prices on treatments. Bhuti will house an open event on 9 February, and will open its doors officially the following day. 50 Hill Rise, TW10 6UB, 0330 400 3108, bhuti.co

parent trap: nappy valley net NappyValleyNet.com has become an online sensation in the four years since founder Susan Hanage, aka Annabel, launched it, with more than 130,000 visits to the site every month. An invaluable tool for parents based in south west London who are seeking to swap tips and share advice, we’ve teamed up to post some of the most pressing topics posted on the site
Sun 6 Dec 2015, 10.25pm I grew up in a family with lots of animals but living in London and travelling frequently I have been reluctant to get a pet as it seems unfair. My kids are now five and eight years old, and as a family I believe we would all benefit from having a pet. A pair of cats seems the most logical option and we would go down the rescue route if possible. My biggest concern is who will look after them while we are on holiday as our neighbours are often away at similar times. Which is better, a cat-sitter or a cattery, and can anyone make a personal recommendation?
TOP REPLIES
Mon 7 Dec 2015, 9.50pm I would choose a cat-sitter or a friendly neighbour over taking the cat to a cattery as in my experience cats get stressed when removed from their own territory. All you need is someone who can drop in once or twice a day to top-up their food and water, and to make a bit of a fuss of the cat.
24
Mon 7 Dec 2015, 10.08pm Just a word of warning: please make sure your children aren’t allergic before you adopt a cat. We already had one when my children were born and now both of them are allergic to our cat, so we have to keep our house super clean. Also some of their friends have even worse allergies, which means they can’t come for play dates. We were advised to rehome the cat but he’s got the sort
of temperament that would make this very difficult, and also we’ve had him for 10 years so we’re quite attached to him. Anyway, if you do get one I’d say a cat minder is the best option when you go away. Tues 8 Dec 2015, 5.17pm Thank you for all the replies. Can anyone tell me how long the rescue process takes? I’m thinking about adopting midto-end of February as I don’t
want the children to associate cats with Christmas presents, but I have no idea how soon I should contact the shelters? Is it true you need a home visit? Tues 8 Dec, 2015, 6.30pm I don’t know of many that do home visits anymore, but most like the whole family to meet the cat before taking him/her home. That’s a good point about not associating it with Christmas, after all, a cat isn’t just for Christmas.

Gaining Momentum Award-winning comedian Dominic Holland talks about his work, family and his recent involvement with local children’s charity Momentum elizabeth finney
“I
t’s a strange thing to reflect on, that everything I have ever acquired has been paid for by being able to make people laugh – it’s quite a romantic way to make a living.” Sitting around Dominic Holland’s table in a beautiful home complete with family photos and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier snoozing in the corner, I see that being funny really can pay off. Passing me a cup of tea, Dominic continues: “Comedy is an over-subscribed business. But if you can make people laugh, that’s a tangible skill, so you can make a living.” Dominic grew up in Whitton and always wanted to be a comic. “I didn’t realise that it could be a career,” he tells me. “By the time I finished my master’s degree I was getting enough gigs that I didn’t need a proper job.” After university Dominic, aged 22, leapt onto a comedy circuit in London called The Comedy Store Jongleurs, before touring with Eddie Izzard, writing a BBC Radio 4 show and appearing on countless television shows such as Have I Got News for You, The News Quiz and The Royal Variety Performance. “It’s a tough but great job,” he says. “Comics are very collegiate – albeit competitive – because it’s such a hard art form.” 2015 was a tremendous

year for the Holland family – Dominic’s eldest son, Tom, was cast as the new SpiderMan in Captain America: Civil War, and will go on to start filming a new Spider-Man movie this June. “Tom is 19 and at the moment, the world is his oyster,” Dominic says. “I want to keep him grounded in the heightened reality in which he lives. I was hoping to involve him in some charities, and it was fortuitous that I went to a charity golf day, and Momentum was there.” “It’s a charity I’ve always been familiar with, and I’m just conscious of the good fortune that I’ve had,” he says, thoughtfully. “I’ve got four boys, all born at Kingston Hospital and it’s never occurred to me that they might get ill.” Though Momentum works with families in Surrey and
south west London, the team want to expand their reach. Momentum’s services come in many forms – the team will send children undergoing treatment toys and treats to take their mind off their illness, and they have worked tirelessly to organise the redecoration of various treatment rooms throughout Kingston Hospital. At the end of last year, Dominic joined Jo Brand in a performance to raise funds for the charity and Tom became one of its patrons. “People get involved with charity through a sense of altruism of course, but it’s also a very empowering thing to do,” Dominic continues, matterof-factly. “Tom can shine a light on this charity, which is a privilege not afforded to all and if he’s responsible for helping such a cause, he’s going to feel better about himself. I think it’s important that it’s a local charity without the reach of some larger ones, so he can make more of an impact in an area that is important.” Thomas Cook Children’s Charity recently donated £25,000 to Momentum, enabling the refurbishment of the Paediatric A&E waiting area at Kingston Hospital. Last month, the final touches were put in place. moment-um.org

Galliard Homes has been given permission to construct a new 20,000 seat stadium in Wimbledon, which will be based around creating a new base for the AFC Wimbledon Football Club. Galliard Homes is planning to build a brand-new mixed-use development around the stadium, which will include a 17,000 sq ft squash club and fitness centre, complete with studio and gymnasium, as well as 602 mixed tenure apartments and a 13,700 sq ft retail outlet. Work is scheduled to start in the second quarter of this year and is expected to take three years to complete. The apartments will span three new buildings situated on the northern, eastern and southern sides of the stadium, ranging between six and 10 storeys. Erik Samuelson, chief executive of AFC Wimbledon, said: “We are all absolutely delighted. This has been a momentous day for our club. This is

DECEMBER BOOM our home and we are delighted that we have been granted planning approval to return to Wimbledon.” The original Wimbledon Football Club, which dated back to 1889, caused a great deal of controversy in 2004 by leaving Wimbledon for Milton Keynes in 2002 to become the Milton Keynes Dons – local supporters rallied together to form AFC Wimbledon just six weeks after the move.
Knight Frank in Richmond had an exceptionally busy countdown to the Christmas break. In the month of December, it exchanged on 10 properties totalling nearly £30million; from a small cottage in The Alberts through to a six-bedroom detached house in Cambridge Park.

Welcome to richmond Chestertons speaks to The Journal about its new office in Richmond, as well as everything this beautiful town has to offer Xavier Marques-Wicks
W
e are delighted to be opening our new office in Richmond, and are particularly excited by the location in the village at the top of the hill, which has always been a lively hub of activity. There are plenty of charming cafés, excellent eateries and coffee shops – all right on our doorstep. We hope that people will appreciate the benefit of being able to pop in to discuss their property needs without having to walk down to the high street. For us, Richmond is a special place to do business because the lifestyle is vibrant, the properties are architecturally diverse and the views are breath-taking – particularly the one from Terrace Walk, which was immortalised on canvas by JMW Turner in the painting England: Richmond Hill, on the Prince Regent’s Birthday. The area has many historically significant buildings, such as The Star and Garter, currently being redeveloped by London Square, Ham House, Wick House and Hampton Court Palace just along the river. Richmond has attracted many well-known faces over the years, too, with Jerry Hall and David Attenborough among the area’s more famous residents. With a third of the borough classed as ‘open space’ (totalling five times more ground than any other borough in London), Richmond has much to offer in the way of activities. You can take a peaceful boat ride down the river, enjoy horse riding in Richmond Park or a cycle along the Thames towpath. Richmond is also handy for rugby fans, with the Old Deer Park and Twickenham being just around the corner. Chestertons supports community rugby at the London Welsh club, who returned to play the first XV matches at the Old Deer Park this season,
“Richmond is highly sought-after by buyers, investors and tenants” and the evolving partnership has helped establish Chestertons as a recognised and trusted brand in the area. Foodies are spoilt for choice, with Richmond eateries serving up cuisine from around the world – we can highly recommend stopping off at the excellent restaurant in The Bingham Hotel, or the leafy café at Petersham Nurseries. Families benefit from a choice of more than 30 primary schools and a variety of excellent secondary schools in the borough. These include Christ’s Church of England Comprehensive, Grey Court, Orleans Park, Teddington School and Waldegrave School for girls, as well as some leading independent schools including Hampton School, the Lady Eleanor Holles and St Catherine’s.
Richmond is highly sought-after by buyers, investors and tenants, and is well to the fore in London’s vibrant housing market. And while it is a popular place for young professionals, families and retirees alike, it’s a treat to live on Richmond Hill and to experience the views every day while walking down to the shops, or to begin your commute from Richmond Station – whether it’s via overground to Waterloo or via the District Line. We believe that extending our already vast coverage of this popular corner of south west London by adding to our existing offices in Kew, East Sheen and Barnes will bring something unique – including our exclusive Avios rewards partnership – to sellers and landlords in the Richmond area. We’re looking forward to meeting and working with local residents. 23a Friars Stile Road, Richmond, TW10 6NH, 020 3758 3222, chestertons.com
