April is the month to

consider property matters again Looking at the different ways in which two or more people can hold a property

Pauline Lawson Stone Rowe Brewer

A Joint Tenancy means that the parties collectively hold the whole of the property. If one of them dies it automatically passes to the survivor, rather like a joint bank account. It cannot be left to a third party in a Will. Many married couples or civil partners choose this option.

and have a Declaration of Trust to record the percentage of the property value that they have provided. This ‘Share’ can be left to a third party in their Will, or in the absence of a Will, it will pass in accordance with the laws on intestacy. It will not necessarily pass to the co-owner. It can be useful if parents are providing deposits and wish their child to have ‘credit’ for the amount they are funding.

If the parties have contributed different amounts towards the purchase price of the property, they may wish to hold as Tenants in Common

If you want to know about ‘Co-Ownership’ or wish to consider a ‘Declaration of Trust’ then please call or email

Clients can be registered at the Land Registry as either ‘Joint Tenants’ or ‘Tenants in Common’.

We are friendly and approachable. We are your High Street Solicitor.

Village Fair 2019 Revival of the Pram Race The Village Fair has played a big part in the partnership between TW11 and the Teddington Society. It was there that we were approached by Dawn Stoddart who asked if we thought it would be a good idea to publish an independent magazine featuring all that’s happening Teddington. Of course we said YES and in September 2010 she published the first issue of TW11 with a beautiful sunflower cover. Then last year at the Village Fair, Dawn introduced us to Christiane who was taking over the Editorship and has taken Teddington TW11 in new heights, still putting local business first and bringing the community together - aims we’ve pursued and promoted too since 1973.

We hope local businesses, small or large, will come and show us what they’ve got to offer at this year’s Fair. The stall application form is available from our website: teddingtonsociety@org.uk NOW! You’ll find TW11 there of course, together with Shambles Drinks Bar, 1 of 1 fine designs, Vincenzo’s Ice creams , Lensbury, the NPL and Park Lane Stables for a start. In fact a proportion of our

History Focus The Churches of Teddington 5 Last month, we left the Baptists about to move into Craig Hall but it was discovered that the rent was £20 per annum, a little beyond the means of a little company. However, the owner, John Cornelius Park, was sympathetic to their cause and agreed on two years’ tenancy for that sum.

The church continued to grow, and in April 1881 they declared themselves “independent and self-supporting.” Matters moved quickly and an iron building was found and purchased.

This was erected on the site of the present church and its opening service was on Sunday 30th March 1884. By 1888, yet again the accommodation was found to be too small and serious consideration had to be given to a larger building. The membership now stood at 90 with some 130 at Sunday school. More land was purchased and the building commenced on a tender of £2918. The new church was completed, with seating for 560, on 21 November 1894.

Times moved on and, by 1903, the church was free from debt and had acquired two houses which were demolished to create the Sunday School Buildings. The First World War saw the inclusion of many young men of the church in the armed forces. Three of them were lost in the conflict. The late 1920s and early 1930s was marked as a time of “evangelistic zeal and outreach”, which saw success in all activities and the start of missionary work which is still ongoing. A new minister came to the church shortly after the start of the Second World War, and three weeks into his ministry, the church was completely destroyed by enemy action. The night of 29 November 1940 saw the heaviest bombing raid ever on Teddington, with 43 fatal casualties.

Eight members of the church were to lose their lives before this war was over. Services were held in the church hall until hostilities ceased and rebuilding commenced.

A foundation stone for the new church was laid on 29 January 1955, and the opening ceremony took place on 15 September 1956. During this period, the church had become involved in the Billy Graham Crusades of 1954, 1955 and later in 1961 and 1966. Various church activities have been and gone and the church has kept pace with all national and international developments.

St Alban I have already written about St Alban’s Church in TW11 No 60 and I don’t think I can add anything to that.

Sacred Heart R C Church The Roman Catholic faith was outlawed for many years in England; in fact since Henry VIII declared himself head of the Church in England. Over the years a degree of tolerance was creeping into English politics and in 1778, Sir George Savile introduced a Catholic Relief Act. This upset many staunch and extreme Protestants and one of them, Lord George Gordon, demanded the repeal of this act. A mob of 60,000 then took to the streets, occupied London for 6 days and destroyed as much Catholic property as they could find. This action had many consequences and in general brought about a more sympathetic attitude towards the Catholics.

Moving forward 70 years, the railway system was engulfing England and the massive job of building the railway tracks was given to the navigators or “navvies”, as they were nicknamed. Their jobs had started with the building of the canal system and waterways and then moved on to the railways. In 1845 there were about 200,000 navvies working in England and about 35% of these were Irish. Ireland was still predominantly Catholic and so when the Irish came to this country, they understandably wanted to continue to worship their faith. Catholic chapels started to appear all over the country and the first one in this area opened at Ivy Cottage in Hampton Wick in 1882, probably the dwelling of the priest.

How to smash the Spring/Summer Trends Spring is in! It’s that time of year when we are thinking about packing away our heavier winter wear and look to transition our wardrobes into Spring.

The Spring/Summer collections are already arriving in the shops – so what’s in store?

Let’s start with Colour One of the most noteworthy trends from the catwalk was its homage to diversity, fluidity, inclusivity and authenticity. More than ever colour made a commanding statement on the catwalks, both neutral and subtle as well as bold, from metallics to sage green, brick red to earthy beige and turmeric tones, versus just about any pink.

2019 Spring/Summer Trends – there’s something for everyone 1. Going to Work Structure and Feminism – On trend for several seasons now, tailored garments have been providing structure for a sharp and elegant look in the workplace including in bold colours. This season there is also a new take on feminism and empowering women as we can reclaim our more feminine side at work with drapes and ties on wrap dresses and blouses.

Feminine silhouettes are emphasised through formfitting dresses, midi and pencil skirts and nipped-in blazers. Lace trims and satin can be introduced to enhance femininity.

2. Modern Prairie – Prairie inspired looks which incorporate a western, modern twist will be seen a lot this summer. Midi dresses with romantic ruffles and ditsy florals will suit those with natural romantic style and can even be worn with western inspired accessories for a fresh interpretation. Bandanainspired dresses are revisited in contemporary cuts and asymmetric dresses equally cut a dash.

Jacket & Trousers Nova Fortuny 146 High Street Teddington 020 8977 3769 3. Leisure Luxe – Leisurewear is no longer for the home or the gym in an age when natural healthy living is the biggest trend of them all. As athleisure transitions into life wear, comfort and functionality creates gorgeous wearable silhouettes that flatter a variety of shapes and can suit any budget.

Miki Jumpsuit in Navy Dot Becarella Boilersuit in Khaki Cupro also available in Chambrey Wonderlust 141 Stanley Road Teddington Website: Wonderlust. london 4. Hyper Tropical – This look is vibrant and eyecatching and is therefore best suited to those who like to make a bit of a statement. Think glamour, colourdriven, bold patterns on any coordinates and dresses using shiny fabrics, ethically sourced feather trims, sequins and beading. The pieces can transition effortlessly from beach to bar with an upgrade in accessories.

5. Nomadic Cool – This relaxed, dressed-down nomadic vibe is inspired by a generation prioritising global travel and is best worn as a rich interplay of prints and textures across long and layered silhouettes and sport basics.

And what about Make Up Trends?

With Pantone’s nod of approval to living coral as their colour of the year, those with warm tones can successfully carry off this warm hue in their lipsticks, nail varnishes and eyeshadows, and perfectly pair them with warm nudes and gold accessories, particularly complementing a sun-kissed complexion. Cooler tones should reach for more blue-based equivalents ranging from magenta to softer rose or raspberry.

Don’t forget your accessories – Be playful in your choices! In fact bling it on!

This is the season for those of us where more is more and the bigger is better.

Headbands have made a comeback, as has jewellery dripping in crystals and large heart shapes, but as always choose pieces that make you feel gorgeous rather than overwhelmed.

Handbags – When choosing a summer holiday handbag many of us avoid heavy leather or plastic as they add weight to an outfit and can be uncomfortable to carry in sticky climes. Environmentally friendly cotton sling bags, crochet or fringe bags are a more practical and cooler option and fits with the hot right now boho vibe. Or choose sporty rucksacks, boxy bags with a gorgeous handle, the seen everywhere bum bag, belt bag or giant tote as your signature bag.

The Rocc 24 Church St, Twickenham, TW1 3NJ 020 8744 1221 Shoes – There is a strong opportunity for footwear in bright colours this season whilst elevated sole trainers also feature strongly. This season is all about having fun with your footwear as the catwalks were covered with feathers, toe ring sandals and crystals on shoes.

Councillor’s Update Climate Change and Sustainability We are in the warmest decade on record and the consequences of climate change will be felt locally, increasing the risk of flooding and affecting air quality. As the map shows mean maximum temperatures in February were some 3.5 C above the most recent 20 year average.

The Council is committed to developing a local climate change strategy to: - Further reduce emissions from our operations - Be more efficient in use of resources - Make sure our contracts are environmentally friendly - Improve the borough’s resilience to cope with climate change - Plant more trees We also want to influence others for example through the introduction of electric vehicle charging points, and through our antiidling strategy. We will also address related sustainability issues such as reducing waste, improving air quality and protecting our biodiversity.

We want to help businesses and residents to live in a more climate friendly way. For individuals the benefits include warmer homes, lower energy bills, healthier lifestyles and cleaner air, while for businesses environmental efficiency is closely linked with cost and brings opportunities for innovation.

We will also want to provide a strong voice against current threats to our ability to tackle climate change. The planned third runway at Heathrow seriously undermines our climate change commitments and would make Heathrow the largest source of carbon emissions in the country. We’ll continue to work with other Councils to raise awareness of the environmental impacts and oppose the runway.

The EU’s legislation and funding has played a vital role in shaping the UK’s climate change policy. The potential impact of Brexit is unclear, but we must remain vigilant about any attempt to lower environmental protections. If you are wondering what you personally can do to live in a more climate friendly way, read top tips from the Energy Saving Trust. https://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/blog/ climate-change-what-can-you-do-help 42 High Street

At last plans have been submitted to demolish the unloved HSBC building opposite the Cedar Road car park and replace it with a restaurant and 8 flats rising up to 4 storeys at the corner. Residents may well have a view on the corner feature and the bulk of the side flank of the building.

The garden last month Anemone blanda comes from the Balkans and is a low herbaceous perennial which spreads slowly in sun or semi-shade and is hardy and reliable. White and pink varieties are also obtainable.

Correction Avenue Gardens should not have appeared in the March issue’s list of CPZ petitions.
