Fantastic news - can't wait to see #Hogarth's staircase paintings looking their best again! We know how hard it is to raise this kid of money, so it is a tremendous achievement. Thanks, The National Lottery Heritage Fund

We're so glad you & Sir Walter could join the tea party for the crowd-funding donors Hogarth's House! Superb carving & letter-cutting, based on an 1853 drawing, by Alan Micklethwaite & Tracey Tregidga Micklethwaite who have done the #dog & the #drake proud! alanmicklethwaitesculpture.com

Philanthropist John Passmore Edwards presented a white marble bust of #WilliamHogarth to the new #ChiswickTownHall - not a very good likeness but a magnificent gesture! Hounslow Council

We were delighted to hold a tea party in the new #WestonStudio Hogarth's House last Saturday to thank crowdfunding donors (& 2 pet dogs) who supported the replicas of the Hogarth family's pet memorials for the garden Spacehive - Pompey the lapdog & Dick the drake!

Claire Ireland is also one of the WHT's wonderful trustees! Her work is terrific - delighted to know about the book

Besides the Welsh in London there were a number living in C18 #Chiswick including the c 1730 head gardener @Chiswick_House Rice Lewis who implemented many of Burlington's changes there.

Wonderful, thank you! see #Hogarth's original Hogarth's House

OTD 1729 ##WilliamHogarth, 32, & #JaneThornhill, 20, were married at the parish church in Paddington. William had obtained the licence 3 days before, but Jane's father had not given permission. Soon reconciled, they moved in with the Thornhills. It was a long & happy marriage

A special thank you from the Trust to all the donors who waited throughout the pandemic before we could celebrate their generosity! Alan & Tracey have done a stunning piece of work - we're tremendously impressed. alanmicklethwaitesculpture.com

#Goldstatecoach was constructed during the time when #Hogarth was Serjeant Painter to the King - did he get a little cut from the contracts as part of his perks?

Hear, Hear, but why gradually? Its the obvious conclusion! WH did love animals, though. We've recently installed replicas of 2 pet memorials long lost from Hogarth's House garden - the oldest one (1760), probably originally WH's work, was for Dick the Drake. Fairholt sketch 1853

So proud to see the #HogarthsHouse Weston Studio packed with Chiswick Book Festival audienc - a fantastic venue in a #garden setting. Thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund & Garfield Weston Foundation for funding Muberry Garden Project. The garden is an outdoor exhibition of plants & features relating to the site

Happy Birthday Mr Hogarth, born 10 November 1697! The William Hogarth Trust will be celebrating together this evening and placing a wreath at Hogarth's #Chiswick statue tomorrow

wonderful news - you must be pleased! We waiting to see what you have written about Jane #Hogarth's print business. # Chiswick #LeicesterFields

The Trust sent comments to Hounslow Council on the application for a Food Market in #Chiswick. Though the Licensing Panel listed us with the opposition we just want them to ban food stalls round the Hogarth Statue to avoid cooking grease damaging the bronze & to retain its dignity!

Excellent meeting this afternoon between #WilliamHogarth Trust & senior staff who manage Hogarth's House, exploring future plans & how we could work more closely together. Friendly, creative & we should do it more often!

Thornhill decorated these, probably when he visited the Netherlands in 1711. He wasn't accustomed to painting on ceramics but these are a tour de force and a precious family heirloom - were they ever kept at Hogarth's House #Chiswick where his widow lived with the Hogarths?

Hogarth revised "The Bench" OTD in 1764 but was too poorly to work the next day. Taken to his home in Leicester Fields weak "yet remarkably cheerful" he died there on 25th. Someone added "This would have been better explained had the Author lived a Week longer" to the plate.

Happy 327th Birthday, Mr Hogarth!
