Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1897, Vol. 21
From 1710 until after William Penn's death in 1718, the home of the family was at Ruscombe, a place in Berkshire, near Twyford. It was rented by Penn, and from an expres sion in a letter of Hannah Penn, already cited, the house seems to have been a large and expensive one. Like most of the houses in which the Founder had his home in the course of his life, Ruscombe has been entirely destroyed. The traveller by rail from London to Reading now passes over the spot where it stood, in the last deep cutting between Maidenhead and Twyford, on the Great Western Railway.
