York House, Twickenham
The central portion of York House dates to the 1630s and derives its name from the Yorke family, owners of farming land in the area. The last person to own York House was Sir Ratan Tata. He was an Indian merchant prince and philanthropist and was knighted by King George V. He and his wife were popular in Twickenham and used to hold parties in the garden for local people. Sir Ratan died in 1918, and when his wife returned to India she sold York House to Twickenham Urban District Council for use as Municipal Offices. They are now the municipal offices of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Elsewhere in the grounds are the statues of the Oceanides - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3567806

York House, Twickenham
A 17th century mansion currently the municipal offices of the Borough of Richmond, who took it over in 1965 from the old Borough of Twickenham who had been there since 1924.
A full and fascinating history is on http://www.richmond.gov.uk/local_history_york_house.pdf
with lots of stuff about previous residents including a flurry of minor European Royals, some disguised in false beards, an Earl of Lonsdale who supported the right to play the fiddle on a Sunday, and a worthy member of the Society of Extreme Victorian Names, the diarist Mounstuart Elphinstone Grant Duff.
