User:Orwell'sElephant

I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2023 and my subject interests include local history and art history.

My significant contributions have been on the pages for:


 * Hampton - the London suburb where I live
 * Tagg's Island - an island on the River Thames nearby
 * Edward Jesse - a natural history writer, responsible for the restoration of Hampton Court Palace in the mid-19th century

I created the page for the Hampton Water Treatment Works.

Other pages I have added to or amended include:

I created 'The Hamptons' template footer (see below) to draw the pages for the Hampton area together.I would like to record my appreciation and thanks to the wonderful staff at the libraries of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
 * Platt's Eyot - another island on the River Thames
 * Walter of Saint-Valéry - the Norman lord awarded the Manor of Hampton after the Conquest
 * Hampton Railway Station
 * Thomas Willement - a 19th century stained glass artist (who inter alia worked with Jesse)
