From my childhood days when I would sometimes play in Marble Hill park, it was I believe maintained by the old London County Council and I would be surprised to see park keepers in L.C.C. uniforms when in those day before the GLC Twickenham was a borough in Middlesex.
The house always seemed pretty well run down in the LCC and GLC custodianship days.
The St Mary;s Church hall you mention is a much smaller replacement for the original hall which was demolished soon after Richmond upon Thames was formed and its site is now part of the councils civic centre.
Seems from your posts that a lot of English Heritage sites do not allow interior photos. I wonder if this is because in these days of the internet pictures often end up on Social media where they can be seen by the general public and may infringe copyright on some paintings and other items.

And thence a ferry to another historic house, or a turn, er, inland to a famous artist's recently refurbished country dwelling?

The position of "king's mistress" seems out of favour in these enlightened (?) days.

The problems with some items being from private collections was the reason I was told during one NT visit in Cornwall. We could take photos of one end of the room but not of the other because it contained an object that wasn't allowed to be photographed!
WE were perfectly happy when given the reason and limited opportunity for pictures than the blanket "no photography".
Thanks for the heads up regarding the ending of the tours DG. It's another of those places that are close enough to never actually get round to visiting!

In the TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's 'Wasp's Nest', Poirot and Captain Hastings alight at Tube Station 'Marble Hill' which 'strongly resembles' Arnos Grove.

*Adds to must-visit list*
I grow ever more miffed by these stupid no-photography policies. Especially when they are imposed on publicly funded heritage building visitors.

The exterior of Marble Hill House was used for the house of the Frances de la Tour character in the recent `Vanity Fair' on TV
