By kind permission of Lord Rayleigh we are privileged to, once again, have the rare opportunity to visit Terling Place and see his great grandfather's original laboratories as he left them!
The laboratories used by Lord Rayleigh are still extant at the family seat in Terling, and provide a wonderful and unique insight into the life and work of this great Victorian scientist. There are over 800 items of equipment contained within six rooms, including the balance he used to determine the atomic weight of gases - work that led to the discovery of argon.
The tour will be conducted by Professor Edward Davies, Distinguished Research Fellow in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge. In retirement, Professor Davies has been investigating and lecturing on the work of the Victorian scientist and Nobel Laureate Lord Rayleigh, in addition to helping with the preservation of Rayleigh’s original laboratories around which he regularly conducts tours.
Due to the strictly limited capacity, this opportunity will only be open to those who are CSES members and who did not attend the visit in 2018, at least initially. Please note that the tour will not be suitable for children and so all attendees should be over 16.
Please register for this visit using the link above; we expect it to be extremely popular so it will be first come, first served! Further details will be provided to successful applicants.
We will operate a waiting list so please do register your interest even if the quota is full, as we may have some cancellations.
