Cricket match next toTurnham Green Common and Christ Church A Victorian painting of a Turnham Green cricket match has been carefully restored to its former glory and will be hung in Chiswick Library. It measures around 4-feet x 3-feet in size and local historians are keen to find out more about its origin. Though undated, it is thought to be c.1860. The painting was originally donated to the library by Libby Perkins who formerly lived on the Glebe Estate. Her parents had come across the painting in an antique shop far from Chiswick and because her father was interested in the game of cricket they decided to buy it. It wasn't until much later when they moved to Chiswick that they realised the picture was actually of Turnham Green Common and Christ Church. Local Studies librarian James Marshall said that the painting was donated to Chiswick Library's Local Collection by Libby Perkins in 2009. It has been cleaned, restored, and strengthened by Cooke & Sons of Kew, at the initiative of Councillor John Todd, using S106 funding from Hounslow Council.
