Hampton Hill Local Information
Hampton Hill, known once as ‘New Hampton’, is located
in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. New Hampton came
about when under the Enclosure Act of 1811, the common was divided
up and given out to landholders. Until then, the common had been
used by local people to graze cattle or cut wood for their fires.
There were only two buildings on the land – a windmill and
‘Upper Lodge’, located in Bushy Park. By 1839, despite
there being several properties on High Street and other surrounding
streets, the area was still mostly open fields. In the 1850s and
1860s the population grew with workers coming in to help build the
waterworks and railway.
This increase in population lead to the first church, Saint James,
in 1863. The first vicar, using his own money, built accommodation
and better facilities for the workers. By 1880, there were many
new roads and a lot of the area grew flowers – carnations
and daffodils were in plentiful supply. 1903 saw trams introduced
to Hampton Hill, and the last nursery, St Clare’s, was built
over with a Sainsbury’s in 1990. The southern end of High
Street is still relatively unchanged.
