点评:As an independent charity, Turner’s House guided tour availability is subject to sufficient volunteers being available. Pre-booking is recommended and as this is a modest size house, larger groups should contact ahead of time to confirm logistics. The house is only open during the warmer months as well so recommend checking the website in advance. Hours were Wed to Sun, 12 noon to 4pm at Sep’24.
The Grade II listed house has been beautifully restored. Thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour with Colin whose style effectively conveyed information, sprinkled with some humor. The other volunteers also did a great job by not overlapping with content expected to be shared during the tour but highlighted other things while we wandered through as we were early for our tour. The guided tour was just under an hour and as the house is modest size, you can revisit rooms of particular interest within 2 hours in total. Some souvenirs can be picked up at the gift shop/admissions desk. There isn’t a cafe on site but it isn’t far to the Richmond high street area where there are plenty of dining choices.
Despite being a smaller house museum, an impressive number of events had been scheduled that we just missed (many appeared to have been over the summer). Check out the website.
Marble Hill house is just down the road so you could visit both on the same day.
翻译:作为一家独立慈善机构,特纳故居导游服务取决于志愿者人数是否充足。建议提前预订,由于这所房子规模适中,人数较多的团体应提前联系以确认后勤事宜。这所房子也只在温暖的月份开放,因此建议提前查看网站。开放时间为 9 月 24 日周三至周日中午 12 点至下午 4 点。
这座二级保护建筑经过精心修复。我们非常享受与 Colin 一起进行的导游服务,他的风格有效地传达了信息,还不乏幽默。其他志愿者也做得很好,没有与预计在游览期间分享的内容重叠,而是在我们游览时强调了其他内容,因为我们去游览的时间还早。导游服务不到一小时,由于房子规模适中,您可以在总共 2 小时内再次参观特别感兴趣的房间。一些纪念品可以在礼品店/入场处领取。现场没有咖啡馆,但距离里士满高街地区不远,那里有很多餐饮选择。
尽管是一个较小的故居博物馆,但我们错过了安排的许多活动(许多活动似乎在夏天举行)。查看网站。
大理石山故居就在路边,所以你可以在同一天参观两处。
