The Twickenham plaque is mistaken about his role as founder of Twining's Tea, since that company was founded in 1706 by a Thomas Twining, born in 1675. The Twining's website shows no interest in their history but from the Twickenham museum we discover that this is Thomas II. Buried at St Mary the Virgin, Twickenham.
