Memorial

William Herschel lived most of his life in the town of Slough, then in Buckinghamshire (now in Berkshire). He died in the town and was buried under the tower of the Church of St Laurence, Upton-cum-Chalvey, near Slough.

Herschel is especially honoured in Slough and there are several memorials to him and his discoveries. In 2011 a new bus station, the design of which was inspired by the infrared experiment of William Herschel, was built in the centre of Slough.

John Keats alludes to Herschel's discovery of Uranus in his sonnet " On First Looking into Chapman's Homer ": "Then felt I like some watcher of the skies/ When a new planet swims into his ken." Per Richard Holmes, Keats "picks out the finding of Uranus, thirty-five years before, as one of the defining moments of the age."

His house at 19 New King Street in Bath, Somerset, where he made many telescopes and first observed Uranus, is now home to the Herschel Museum of Astronomy.

There is a memorial near the choir screen in Westminster Abbey.
